Luka made his debut. Could see why people got lazy and labeled him new Messi. His movements on the ball and body shape is Messi like. In the 10 mins he played he looked full of confidence trying to drive at defenders. Positive debut.
Watched the game and his movement was really good as you said.

Was most impressed by Take Kubo though from the Mallorca side.

It's also...not going to happen. Part of the downfall of Milan was having an owner that stopped caring before he finally sold the club. Barcelona don't have an owner. It's an entirely different model. They can't be sunk through nonchalance in the same way. Their brand is too big for that to happen. Barça fans bitch endlessly about their board but even with an apparently incompetent board they still win trophies even if it's completely by accident.

As much as I would welcome it, there won't be a Milan-esque fall of Barcelona.

It's not by accident they win because of Messi.

There probably wont be a Milan fall off but even thinking of it is insane. Luckily the board is gone in 12 months.

Agreed, great little player.

He will look fantastic with the likes of Vinicius, Rodrygo, Valverde, Odegaard, Reinier, Camavinga(hopefully), etc.

Dive from Rafinha led to equalizing goal for Celta Vigo. You can’t write this stuff up.

game changed when he came on, great player.

Barca could have easily lost....that should have been a goal from Celta at the end there. Luckily the ball went right to Ter Stegen.

Rakitic with a bad pass and then bad tracking by Umtiti who got caught well out of position.

Grizz not aggressive enough.

Fake thiago is still ass
Probably should’ve left for a different club earlier in his career. I reckon he’d have 200 apps for Sevilla or Valencia by now if he started with them.

Then again, he won the CL and made a lot of money playing for Barca, so great career anyways Lol.

No one cares about Espanyol and they are getting relegated for sure but still comical that they have sacked a 3rd head coach this season.

The Celta Vigo/Barcelona match result is not surprising. Barcelona have historically struggled at Balaidos.

Not surprised, team is not deserving to win La Liga.

Tbh, neither are we.

I never agree with this sort of sentiment. If a team does what is needed and doesn't win as a result of ref decisions, then they're deserving. Whether or not it's worth celebrating is another story. If we win the league, and I doubt we will at this stage, it'll largely be a non-event.

Fair enough.

We did beat Barca and drew. So I would be happy. But I feel like both clubs played under their potential.
