We secure top spot in Group D with a goalless draw against Juve. In a game which was full of surprises before, but lacked a real spark during the 90 minutes. Let me know your thoughts!
Aside from the lack of goals, Valverde’s Barça is much much more similar to Guardiola’s than Enrique’s team ever was. It feels like Valverede wants to play the Barça style but he doesn’t have the appropriate players to do that. What a shame!
Valverde doing what is needed to do to get results. Remember, we don't have Demebele or a proper midfield. And our start striker is going through a rough patch. Give valverde a chance.
This is absolutely not the barca i love Paulino diving around, playing for a draw no vision going forward other teams will destroy us with this attitude
i think we barca fans are so spoiled. we cant always play attractive fooball. and tbh we played attractive football only under pep and first year of enrique so its not fair to ask from a new manager to play beautiful football and get results and the same time considering the dip of form of barcelona since last season. when we lost league and champions league convincingly losing neymar in the summer getting trashed from real madrid in supercopa valvarde had to change something. and we are unbeaten and sit on top of league and ucl but still fans not appreciating. for me only two teams in the world playing better at the moment and thats psg and man city. give a break to the coach he is tactically very good. all these people brak about beautiful football will be the same people who blame when we drop points.
why was Vermaelen not played is beyond me. So you are going to put a guy whop hasnt touched the ball , straight in a pressure cooker match for full 90 minutes ?
Alba playing w/ digne had me like wtf ?? Messi resting was smart and needed bc of weekend vs Valencia. EV literally plays for minimum objective but results there so it's working fine, overall rotation needed. Lucho was running same 11 every game
It pains my eyes to watch that ? (Rakitic) as a starter week in week out. How I wish Samper was retained! "Quality without results is pointless, results without quality is boring." Cruyff. Sadly barça has been playing very boring football lately. I really cannot understand why Arnaiz, Denis, Aleña are not given a chance over these deadwoods.
All those complaining about our play ,the first 10 Min of 2nd half was just too good even without Messi, Suarez was the only difference gave the ball away and we played great without Messi

We are lucky to have valverde because if any other coach was coaching Barca we will be so bad with the talent we have right now

No one mentioned Rakitic's free kick hitting the post
Someone tell Delofeu that you can dribble.
Probably Suarez's best season so far
Suarez is done as much as it hurts to say. His turn , free kick was great but I never saw Suarez that I saw in Barcelona for the past 4 years
That wasn't selfless, that was lack of confidence and decision making. Don't defend digne. He is only good defensively

people forget we got hammerd last time around in the same stadium. and if anyone wants to win this game it was juventus but it looked otherwise.

Dybala was very good last night
Last year nice beat us 3-0 at their home and draw 0-0 at our home and this year it's the other way around lol except this isn't the quarter finals
You see the game you don’t see iniesta and busqeust you see them you see the game
Can someone tell Delofeu that he should try a thing called dribbling?
Don't be surprised to see busquets playing at cb with umtiti

Junior Players in Barca are too afraid to take shots, they always seems to pass it for Messi or Suarez. And I think this is a big problem.
Iniesta at 50 still will be better player dhan rakitic at his peak.
What does everyone think about Paco and Denis starting instead of Deulofeu and Luis?
