I answered Cannabis coz it was the last post mate. Got to be honest that I didn’t expect something as blatant as this result against Girona. Barça’s form is rather curious in truth. They’ve been very consistent as far as results go this season but within that we’ve seen major ups and many professional performances without too much flair. I can’t work out where these massive performances come from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well - heavy rains are in the forecast here in Atlanta, which means that my race tomorrow may be cancelled. The even BETTER news is that this means I'll be able to watch the Sevilla vs Atletico match. Let's pray for rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday however was exactly that and very surprising against what is a well drilled Girona side. Had the away side held that 1-0 lead for a bit longer then things might have been different but obviously that wasn't the case. When the likes of Suarez, Messi and Coutinho all ''tick'' then there's really nothing the opposition can do. Nobody would have saved Messi's ''low'' free-kick and nobody would have saved Coutinho's long range effort. The other goals you can try to dissect but again, this is Barcelona and on their day they're unplayable. The great thing about that game where Barça is concerned is that we had all the typical types of Barcelona-esque goals you would traditionally tend to see in one game. The only goal missing was a header, but headers aren't exactly the "Barça Way" but under Valverde we have seen more recently. Great combo play, shots and high pressing. All there!

We also mustn't forget that save from ter Stegen at the end, granted it would have only made the game 6-2 had it gone in but it was still a brilliant bit of reaction play. For me, he has to start ahead of Neuer at the World Cup. For me too... Ter Stegen is on a different level to Neuer and I'm talking about Neuer before his injury. Not that Manuel Neuer has lowered his levels or anything of the sort, but that Ter Stegen is better (for me) than Neuer ever was. For me there are three keepers in the world at a different level which are De Gea, Ter Stegen and Oblak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again Real Madrid beat PSG and they drew against a third division Spanish side 2-2 (Fuenlabrada) or then lost against Leganés and ALSO lost against Girona.

SirBalon Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Atlético Madrid have been on hot form for almost 3 months now and they haven't given up on La Liga. Remember that both Barça and Atleti still have to meet again which could be a big 3 pointer. Whatever happened to Atlético Madrid in the first months of La Liga really damaged them because they have the squad to compete with anyone and their Champions League hopes were also scuppered during that odd lack of form. That win at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuan against Sevilla is a message because it isn't easy to win in that manner in Seville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be down to that because if we look at those odd results, most of them came at home especially in the Champions League. Moving stadium is always traumatic, but when you move from such a cult stadium like the Vicente Calderón, then it's got to be more accentuated.
