Betcha Umtiti would have looked like a floundering mess at Arsenal.

exactly, you can't compare them like that.
We have a way of making previously good defensive players look shit house...
Barcelona is worse defensively. There are so many instances every game where Umtiti is left behind alone trying to defend a counter attack.
Anyway, we are talking about basics here and Mustafi is pretty awful at a lot of them.

but Barca aren't under constant defensive pressure because they dominate the ball so much.
Mustafi at Valencia looked a lot better than Umtiti does right now. The players aren't the issue, the system is
Was watching Barca tonight and thinking they've really looked disheveled since that big-noggin playmaker departed. He just tied everything together so beautiful. Now they just overwhelm you with multiple offensive threats
They were definitely better back then but this set up is much more entertaining.
One long hoof from the back:
barca lose. Madrid almost there.
Barca has lost four La Liga games, all to lower half teams. Would you guys take Enrique?

Nah. Managing Barca or Real is mainly managing egos and getting along w/ the big guns. Besides, Enrique looks dead set on taking a 1 year sabbatical.
Real Madrid denied a second minute penalty. Should be an exciting game. These teams are stacked with super quality players. A European football league with a draft would be welcome. :-)
what a player, messi. Makes things look so easy. Beats a guy and slots past keeper on the run.
Messi with a classy goal.
That Messi goal was nuts. The speed of his feet was mesmerising
casemiro should be off
I thought he had fucked up his first touch.
Shows what I know.
the goalkeepers are upto it too. Great saves, great football all around. This is how CL should be, instead ..
The difference in quality between Real vs Barca and Arsenal vs Man City is depressing. This game is incredible in comparison
Rakitic with some goal! Wow.
