This needs to finish 4-3 just to hear Mourinho after the match.

After watching the replay that was a red. Terry just couldn't keep up with Rondon.

We were going to bid for him this week anyway iirc but I wouldn't be surprised if they went a couple of million higher now to get it done

Get Matic off, he's a walking red card. I don't give a shit if you bring on Mikel or RLC, just pick one

Even though Barça still had fantastic results after letting them go, I still believe letting Pedro go is a poor piece of business that falls right into the category of Touré and Alexis.

Good old LVG and his judgment.

With Turan in January and Rafinha, Pedro was going to struggle to even get time off the bench. Good for him if he can make an impact at Chelsea.
Well?

They still signed an extension with him til 2019 just a few months ago. It's never bad to have some extra depth. I still think Pedro was above Rafinha in the pecking order, who's more of a midfielder anyway, while Pedro's a pure attacking forward with a knack of scoring goals and an incredible work rate. I don't know the full story if he wanted to go, or if he was forced out (didn't really follow it that closely), but an injury here and there, and Barca is mightily thin in every aspect of their squad. Got some huge problems with their defense already and the season barely started.
at the same time they lowered his clause from 150M to 30M
They were putting him on sale.

They wouldn't need to lower his buyout clause to do that. Pedro asked for it to be lowered so he would have exit options if people came sniffing and he wasn't happy.

Are there any Dortmund fans around here?
Even if that was the case, Pedro was putting himself on sale then. It's been known since june that he was going to leave this summer tbh

Lol Raheem, you do have a left foot.

Might wanna get used to that sight.
Was thinking the same thing. No clue why he went right.
Good game early though, both sides have had chances.
He asked to have it lowered. He signed the contract in good faith that if a buyer came with the right price he could go.

Barca's bench today is Vermaelen and five B teamers. Messi's really going to have to be Superman to get a win.

Yes, there are.
Great start for us, but I don't want to get to euphoric. It's still a long way to go and our opponents will surely adapt to Tuchels tactics.
