Gutted for Sevilla as well but they didn't really deserve the win. They played very dirty throughout, Krychowiak should have been off three or four times.

Maybe, but on the balance of chances maybe they should win.

Technically, Sevilla is a class apart compared to any premier league side including us. All of their players from keeper to striker is comfortable with passing and pressing even against Barcelona. The couple of times they manage to evade press and pass the ball out of their own box all the way to create clear attacking opportunities is brilliant.

I kind of supported them as underdogs but i am completely indifferent to the result.
Just glad to have seen so many goals in a surprisingly low key pre-season game.

Messi's won his 25th title.

I don't even have that many Certificates of Participation.

Douglas Costa tore Hamburg apart in his Bundesliga debut for Bayern. MOTM performance.

Suddenly doesn't seem like such an outlandish transfer.

Klaus

Let's hope this means that Götze might become available.

Gazza M

bilbao 4-0 bartha

quite a few of barcas part timers in the side, bu still

Claudius

Excellent performance. Might as well cancel 2nd leg. Very direct. First goal was a peach: quick thinking and awesome technique.

He's been seriously impressive for Bayern in their pre-season. Good to see he continued his form into the new season so Gotze can become available.

Never understood why everyone went for Willian instead of him during their Shakhtar days.

Incredible how a team that fields Messi Suárez and Iniesta can have Vermaelen and Bartra in defence. Vermaelen was talented many years ago but after playing like what, five matches in as many years he didn't look even Championship standard. Bartra should give it up altogether, non-League is his level. They might still turn it around though, Barcelona run through CL teams when they turn up and Bilbao have a poor record at the Camp Nou.

Douglas Costa looks unfortunately like a world beater for Bayern.

Clrnc

His cross for Bayern's 3rd goal was immense

jones

Yeah, it was perfect. Kudos to fucking Bayern for the transfer, early days of course but never in a million years would I have thought he'd show this level of performance, looks like a completely different player to the one at Shakhtar (haven't seen him too often there but still). By the way I'm pretty certain that he's faster than Walcott, even noticeably so.

Dortmund looking very good under Tuchel. Class goal by Reus.

Clrnc

Aubameyang adds a second. Superb header.

mentalvortex

4-0 now. Dortmund seem to have found their lost verve but then Monchengladbach are missing their first choice central defenders.

Khanuppet

Sigh we were linked with Costa all the time too weren't we. Another one that fell through the cracks.

Rex

Maybe we can get Lewandowski! 😃

Gazza M

dortmund game was fun. gladbach had key players out, but the interplay between PEA, reus,kagawa, and gundogan was good. even mhkitaryan was efficient

as i said when were linked with him, i think PEA will have a really good season, assuming reus stays

Klaus

Aubameyang has enjoyed a steady development from season to season for a few years now. Not sure why people were so down on him in the transfer section considering our own options.

Mirth

Barcelona look quite one paced without Alaba and Neymar on the left.
