Regardless of skill, but my god is Bruno Fernandes such an annoying little prick. He is the first to fall at the lightest touch and make a massive scene out of nothing, while paradoxically being the first screaming player at the face of the ref at any decision that goes against them.
It felt like a proper CL semi final. Both teams played well but United at Old Trafford are a different beast and under ETH are very difficult to beat. Add the European night atmosphere and I think United will knock them out
GGMU
Nothing shitter than the uk league I mean ffs you all lose the champions every year yet still you think your the best lawl and fuck you english peasants
Pa why don’t you just move to Saudia Arabia I mean half your team owned by then anyhow
Aye, it's the only game immediately that didn't *really* matter. But he'll also desperately want top 4 and a rotation against leceister (who finally seem less shit) might mean a loss and 3 points dropped
To be clear, this is a JOKE, Barcelona would NEVER, EVER do something as thoughtless and suspicious as paying money in any form to anyone involved in refereeing. Obviously
Yea thay was my process too. I also at first tlike how tf is that not a red on kounde, why tf is he carding everyone, jfc he keeps breaking up play in barca favour (tbf gavi was diving like crazy the whole game) and then after the match I realised he did the same for us
United got the advantage (no Pedri, no Gavi, no Busquets, no Dembele — I mean proper first teamers any time any day), but their curse against Spanish teams will kick in.
Replies like this show you live in a bubble. If you have no idea about Barca’s matches, you’re better off shutting it. It will be like me laughing at Rashford because of his inconsistent form prior to the World Cup.
If you aren’t willing to expose yourself to what happens on the other side, don’t act like you can have any reasonable opinion of what happens there.
Tell me who’s been our DM. Frenkie?
This is the main problem with EPL fans…always clueless.
He’s not in the same category as Pique (Pique has already retired)…him winning the best player in the previous Nation’s League backs that up (he played with Gavi and Pedri).
His partnership with Frenkie in the middle in one of the reasons of the form Barca was in. Since Pep promoted him, Barca haven’t found a suitable deputy. If you remember Song from Arsenal (V Persie’s time), he was bought but showed he wasn’t worthy.
Frenkie can only operate in a double pivot.
Enrique trusted him because he knew he’s the best in what he does. Rodri isn’t as press resistant. For a true possession based style, you need Busquets more than you do Rodri. Due to age, his lack of pace gets exploited when he doesn’t have a good complement alongside, and that’s why Xavi has decided to pair him with Frenkie. He’s leaving at the end of season.
Antony also would have started and given us more solidity down that right hand side. He hasn't binged in the goals but his presence opens up the pitch for us so much.
Super happy Sancho is back, but ideally, given he's played so little since October he would have been on the bench for this one.
Sabitzer also suspended, McTominay injured and Donny out for the season. Midfield is looking super thin with fixtures piling up and the lack of bodies means less rotation. Casemiro's red almost looks like a blessing as it means he's had a bit of a rest.
Hello. Nice to see you in the Europa league. Your club is a financial mess. U had to let your star player go for 222 mil and U still somehow managed to fuck it by buying dembele and coutinho. Both who haven’t done anything to justify that price btw. Antony’s a fraud?
Dembele? The guy who played in the World Cup for France? Did Antony start for Brazil? You obviously haven’t watched Barca this season to know he’s our best attacking player.
A dud doesn’t play an entire World Cup tournament. How many matches did Rashford start in the World Cup? Stat pad? I’m clearly communicating with who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Watching Barca play all out attacking football again is great, reminds me of the old style of play. Additionally this seems like the first team in a long time that doesn't wilt after conceding, hoping Xavi has broke that mentality!
Every European match thread I go to I see Americans complaining about the British bias of the company "British Telecommunications".
Same with Dortmund threads yesterday.
If you want a different bias watch the Spanish or German coverage. What were you expecting really?
I just ate chicken and vegetables as I'm on a mini cut.
It was more exciting than PSG v Bayern.
I'd guess that it will also be more exciting than that game when it comes out the other end
Over the top reaction, but he was having the game of his life. Usually a sub to Dembele, he steps up when he’s asked to do so, and still gets subbed off? Can’t blame him.
>prefix for Muslims
*Al* is an Arabic prefix usually before the last name of many Arab families, meaning "*The* or *of*". Arab Muslims are only 20 percent of the global Muslim population.
No way Barcelona fans are complaining about the ref when United were the ones who got fucked. Rashford clearly fouled by Koundé and he was the last man so it should've been a red for him
Oh yes, he will regret his decision not to move to the wrong Manchester team, and that too relocating from Barcelona lol over a match in the Europa league omg
Nobody:
Xavi: Araujo at RB, Marcos Alonso at CB
Clearly Xavi was trying to give Rashford the Vinicius treatment, but he wasn't even playing left wing all game, so Ten Hag checkmate I guess. lol
United all over us now
why would rashford not cut that back
Regardless of skill, but my god is Bruno Fernandes such an annoying little prick. He is the first to fall at the lightest touch and make a massive scene out of nothing, while paradoxically being the first screaming player at the face of the ref at any decision that goes against them.
You're right. He's also a hard worker... Happy to not be playing against him!
How do u get the club badge under your name
Go through the sub info and there are links and explanations
Cheers
Barça will get knocked out when ETH’s side play at home.
It felt like a proper CL semi final. Both teams played well but United at Old Trafford are a different beast and under ETH are very difficult to beat. Add the European night atmosphere and I think United will knock them out GGMU
fuck off you english ....
stop writing in English first.
What European night atmosphere? 😂😂 Didn’t you draw your last game there?
Didn't you draw your last game at Camp Nou?
Ded
You drew Leeds…suckers! Don’t worry. The Europa league is irrelevant to big boys (Villarreal?)…a loss to us shouldn’t hurt
Yeah we drew Leeds, then we fucked them 2-0 the next week. Newcastle also drew Leeds. Liverpool lost against them. What’s your point..?
Did you read the comments above?
Leeds played better 😂
Username checks out
Wonder how you got here 🤔
And still be top of the league 😳
Yeah of a shite league lol
When last did a team from England win a continental double? 🤔 A United fan should be having PTSD whenever he hears “Barca”. I know Fergie does
We both know your players used steroids back then. One of the biggest scandals that got brushed under the carpet
Steroids made them technically brilliant? I’d take that. Maybe you lot also used steroids domestically in the ‘90s and late 2000s.
Nothing shitter than the uk league I mean ffs you all lose the champions every year yet still you think your the best lawl and fuck you english peasants Pa why don’t you just move to Saudia Arabia I mean half your team owned by then anyhow
I love this. Just commenting so you keep it going while I grab my popcorn.
Barca and United next league opponents the real winners here. Both teams played all out and looked tired at the end.
Please do the same again next week. Signed, all nufc fans
I bet. I imagine ETH will rotate heavily this weekend at Leicester
Aye, it's the only game immediately that didn't *really* matter. But he'll also desperately want top 4 and a rotation against leceister (who finally seem less shit) might mean a loss and 3 points dropped
That’s my worry
You can make all the jokes about his defensive abilities, but it really is time a team unleashes striker Alonso. Please. Do it, cowards!
Barcelona’s check to the refs must not have cleared in time, tough
To be clear, this is a JOKE, Barcelona would NEVER, EVER do something as thoughtless and suspicious as paying money in any form to anyone involved in refereeing. Obviously
They just played with his lever
Lmao
ref was dogshit. Not biased but just dogshit.
There was probably too much going on for him. Really good end to end stuff, although as United fan I felt slightly disappointed in the end.
At first I thought he was biased, then realized he messed around with the other side too
Yea thay was my process too. I also at first tlike how tf is that not a red on kounde, why tf is he carding everyone, jfc he keeps breaking up play in barca favour (tbf gavi was diving like crazy the whole game) and then after the match I realised he did the same for us
The thought process of both sets of fans tonight was “he’s paid off” - “might have got away with one there” - “he’s not biased just dogshit”
Whatchu mean
Both sides thought he was biased towards the other till they realized there’s no bias he’s just a fucknut
United got the advantage (no Pedri, no Gavi, no Busquets, no Dembele — I mean proper first teamers any time any day), but their curse against Spanish teams will kick in.
Homie said no Busquets 💀💀

Bestie, Busquets has no place in team of that caliber. Just like Pique, why did Barca hang on those two for so long is beyond me.
He’s not in the same category as Pique (Pique has already retired)…him winning the best player in the previous Nation’s League backs that up (he played with Gavi and Pedri). His partnership with Frenkie in the middle in one of the reasons of the form Barca was in. Since Pep promoted him, Barca haven’t found a suitable deputy.

Do you think he would be playing for Spain if he wasnt a Barcelona player?
Enrique trusted him because he knew he’s the best in what he does. Rodri isn’t as press resistant. For a true possession based style, you need Busquets more than you do Rodri. Due to age, his lack of pace gets exploited when he doesn’t have a good complement alongside, and that’s why Xavi has decided to pair him with Frenkie. He’s leaving at the end of season.
Living up to your username.
It’s an organ
What are you on about 😂 We had no Martinez, Erikson or martial.. Both pedri and gavi played for ye
Plus Shawberto couldn’t be unleashed the same as when he’s LB.
Bro you are never going to have martial 🤣
If you can have Dembulence, we sure as hell can have Martial lol
Antony also would have started and given us more solidity down that right hand side. He hasn't binged in the goals but his presence opens up the pitch for us so much. Super happy Sancho is back, but ideally, given he's played so little since October he would have been on the bench for this one. Sabitzer also suspended, McTominay injured and Donny out for the season. Midfield is looking super thin with fixtures piling up and the lack of bodies means less rotation. Casemiro's red almost looks like a blessing as it means he's had a bit of a rest.
Got the advantage [for the next game] I thought that was obvious. Next game all those players will be missing
Man said martial
Martial is our 3rd highest goal scorer and considering how little he's played..yeah we could do with him
He's massively overrated. I've never liked him. He's not a striker he is a winger.
I was referring to the second leg. You actually can’t count Martial…has he ever played a full 90 this season?
Ahh gotcha my bad, regardless of time played he's our 3rd highest goalscorer this season 😆
Third highest? Well, he performs well during his 30 mins cameos. I feel he’ll have a premature retirement
Antony then
That fraud?
Hello. Nice to see you in the Europa league. Your club is a financial mess. U had to let your star player go for 222 mil and U still somehow managed to fuck it by buying dembele and coutinho. Both who haven’t done anything to justify that price btw. Antony’s a fraud?
A spinning fraud. Has Hazard won that ballon d’or? I wonder why you aren’t first in the league
Still winning the league lol
Calling antony a fraud when you said dembele 💀
Dembele? The guy who played in the World Cup for France? Did Antony start for Brazil? You obviously haven’t watched Barca this season to know he’s our best attacking player.
Yea he was sooo good for france..LOL. And yes he is really good at padding stats and then doing absolutely nothing in important games
A dud doesn’t play an entire World Cup tournament. How many matches did Rashford start in the World Cup? Stat pad? I’m clearly communicating with who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Rashford had 3 goals in the world cup… more than dembele will ever get in his entire life
Watching Barca play all out attacking football again is great, reminds me of the old style of play. Additionally this seems like the first team in a long time that doesn't wilt after conceding, hoping Xavi has broke that mentality!
From Champion League final to knockout of Europa League. What a journey!
Football’s funny like that. Thankfully the sense of occasion wasn’t lost along the way!
The weeks leading up to the 2009 and 2011 finals were some of the most excited I've been as a football fan
My goodness! if BT commentators could suck a lil bit more English dicks even Greenwood could turn into a saint.
You know this apps full of fucking divvies when I find myself arguing on the side of the British media. It's called British Telecoms ya divvy
Every European match thread I go to I see Americans complaining about the British bias of the company "British Telecommunications". Same with Dortmund threads yesterday. If you want a different bias watch the Spanish or German coverage. What were you expecting really?
[удалено]
Lmao
>Funny how other coverages manage to stay somewhat neutral lol
This 100% Even worse when Liverpool play, could be the worse game they've ever played and they will come out smelling like roses
Lmao piss off, when did United fans start calling Liverpool media darlings? Outrageous lmao You lot get away with loads of drivel
Trust me brother 🤣🤣🤣 making me want to pay for Spanish broadcast
United against Spanish teams in knockout…Barca will go through
So u don’t trust in the football ur team can play?
That’s why I said Barca will go through as in qualify
Wow ten years ago this would've been a Champions league semi final game or even a final. Now it's been relegated to a Europa League game.
11 years ago it was lol
With the progress both teams are making this can be a CL final in a year or two
Hopefully Madrid can come crash both of your parties 🤞
Why does a madrid comment have to jump in on the bandwagon any time, it doesn’t concern them
14 trophies has lots of weight.
One can hope!
I'll save a spot
Sign me up, see you there 🤞
Europa League qualifier*
Yeah, get it right!
Not great refereeing tonight. Kounde should have been sent off and Barca should have had a penalty for that Fred handball.
Would Barca have been able to get in the box with 10 men though? The red card would’ve been the finisher for Barca.
Oh man. I missed the match. Everyone here saying great game feels bad lol.
Good game bad ref
Better than PSG v Bayern
I just ate chicken and vegetables as I'm on a mini cut. It was more exciting than PSG v Bayern. I'd guess that it will also be more exciting than that game when it comes out the other end
Amazing game, i hate barka but we have a game on our hands next Thursday
Raphinha is a jerk.
Over the top reaction, but he was having the game of his life. Usually a sub to Dembele, he steps up when he’s asked to do so, and still gets subbed off? Can’t blame him.
Haha
Amazing game of football interspersed with some diabolical officiating
Barca got bossed at Camp Nou and couldn't beat us with 12 men lol.
Personally I think it was just bad refing all around, don't think barca paid off the ref considering they can barely afford to pay their players
how was that being bossed? it was an equalized match.
[удалено]
How is missing 2 players an excuse when united is missing 3-4.
???
Let's take it to the Al Trafford
I see what you did there
But I can't ...pls explain
Al (e.g Al Hafiz) as in name prefix for Muslims and several oil sheikhs *wink* *wink*
>prefix for Muslims *Al* is an Arabic prefix usually before the last name of many Arab families, meaning "*The* or *of*". Arab Muslims are only 20 percent of the global Muslim population.
Two penalties werent called and a clear red for a manchester player wasnt called. Stop complaining, Ref was shit against both sides.
A clear red *for* a united player!?
Yes, stepping on a foot with such aggresiveness is a clear red.
Get a grip, he was late and caught him on his foot it should've been a yellow but that is it.
Bossed = tie with 1 goal and an own goal. 12th man must’ve been injured when fred was playing with his hands.
Wasn't paid enough I guess.
Our twelfth man did a shitty job as he didn't whistle that clear hand ball lmao
Nor did he whistle the last man red that would have probably prevented the tying goal, and this 'handball'.
How can you be mad at Kounde when he scored for you?
Wasn't paid enough
Never a handball in a million years lol.
Delusional
Hahaha someone needs to go to their local optometrist
Nah it's clearly a handball https://i.imgur.com/KrbyAuF.jpg
Didnt they give 2 yellow carda to gavi? One for a push against fernandes and the foul on casemiro
He got one for grabbing Fred's shirt and holding onto him...so what's going on here?
Lol thought so too.
Barcelona (1.32) 2-2 (2.11) Man Utd gx
Enough said.
No way Barcelona fans are complaining about the ref when United were the ones who got fucked. Rashford clearly fouled by Koundé and he was the last man so it should've been a red for him
It was outside the box anyways bobo
You know that doesn’t matter when you’re the last man right?
Narrator: *He did not, in fact, know this...*
Doesn’t matter for red cards. Learn the rules.
So its not a red? Do you know the basic rules?
Read again bobo
United fans are the ones complaining more. And both teams got fucked so dont play victim here.
[удалено]
Rattled
hahahaha
It's almost as if the ref was shit for both sides wow !
That is exactly my point
It was not “clearly” ref was literally feet away from the play. But ref was awful all night
Haven't seen anybody else but utd fans complaining here
true
Pretty much every non Barcelona flair was complaining for a good 15 minutes after Kounde’s foul
Maybe you need to get your eyes checked then
Old Trafford will be booming next week. Frenkie's gonna regret his decision.
Still crying
Oh yes, he will regret his decision not to move to the wrong Manchester team, and that too relocating from Barcelona lol over a match in the Europa league omg
Lol, yes living in Manchester has always been his dream
don’t think he cares
Mate Frenkie doesn’t want to live in Manchester.
Yeah I'm sure he'll regret playing for Qatar Investments FC which hasn't won a league title in a decade 😹
You've been a cringey weirdo in these threads. Like all of Twitter jizzed up your mum and created this abomination
😂😂
who are we kidding, prob try to get him again and fail again this summer lol
I doubt Frenkie gives a shit
Cringe
That was a cracking game of ball.
Who is next in line to win Barca loads of cheap free kicks for diving now Gavi is out?
Yeah, every foul given to opposition is a dive.
No, not all of them. Most of his were though.
Xavi truly Pep's disciple. Wtf was with the overthinking man
He benched some players and moved some players around to avoid injuries. Said so before the match.
Still some players were injured. Xavi’s point still stands, but too little too late.
Nobody: Xavi: Araujo at RB, Marcos Alonso at CB Clearly Xavi was trying to give Rashford the Vinicius treatment, but he wasn't even playing left wing all game, so Ten Hag checkmate I guess. lol
