Barcelona's defending reminds me of ours.

Their midfield is miles ahead of any other team in the world. If they lose in the CL it will be against a team that parks the bus and hits them on the counter. Outside of that Bayern is the only team that might be able to go toe to toe with them and even they need to get lucky.
do you think Coutinho is watching this like "fuck sake, not again"
This...

Whoever speaks bullshit against Benzema has little idea of how this sport works. Funny part is that they are mostly Real Madrid fans so make of that what you will. 🤣
The same midfield was not combining this well last year. It was mostly going on the wings and throwing balls into the box. Now it's much more varied and quick and nice.

Hot take?
Their defense and midfield is shit mate. With this current squad Messi and Suarez arent enough. Maybe Coutinho can help things along, but assuming no new entries this Barça squad is screwed.
No need to get rid of Bale. No matter how much I might want him at United. RM would end up strengthening one of their competitors.
Well, against Man United the team wasn't anywhere near as good as this so I'll go with the former.
Modric and Kroos have been doing this for a while but yeah they are in top form right now.

I saw the ball already in the net. Nice one Benz a lil lower next time!
Third rank will be a given nonetheless. What I'm saying is just don't overestimate this game because Real is way above any team at this point.

Liverpool watching this match and is like "Barcelona, you want Coutniho? £150 million or fuck off"
Suarez was never a fast player. The whole team is playing like shit.

Last year Zidane used his favorite 4-3-3 most of the times, whenever real played 4-4-2 they played really really well
The Kovacic/Modroc combo is pretty stunning. Kroos has always been consistent but for him to be firing on all cylinders so early is awesome. They're not even playing Casemiro and they don't even appear to need him for this game. Just a disgusting amount of young talent with Isco also on the bench.
We'll give you £100 million for him, and you can take Dembélé from Barca's cold dead hands.

You just wait till Costa returns to Atlético. You just wait...
Yeah, good points. On top of that I guess having Ronaldo and Bale on the wings brought so many more balls there instead of going through the centre.
He's insane. Pretty sure he's scored more than 1 a game for Barca and assists as many.
Everyone has the odd bad game.
I ain't wanting nobody. My team is fine as is.

Hopefully we can see Dani, Theo or Isco/Bale in the last half.
God no
Who is on kroos modric level?
Vidal is basically dead. He needs a rest to let his body heal but that dude has been playing constantly.
He has sometimes
Thiago is more an AM rather than a CM under ancelotti. He is great if he stays fit
Sanches has been a huge disappointment and tolisso is a wild card until now.
So bayern's midfield is definitely not on real level right now

Madrid bros, we're murdering them out there, it's a massacre.
..And we haven't even deployed Isco or Bale.
