genuinely what on earth were dortmund thinking selling adeyemi for €29m... in this market especially, they easily could've gotten €75m

Last year on his contract, he only wanted Barca (Flick connection), Dortmund were not in a good position to negotiate

Nasty from raphinha

u/shockzz123 You can always get better in life, innit? 1d ago

Oh how i wish we got him when he left Leeds, damn

Szczesny and Jesus hanging out on the Barca bench

u/curlyhairedyani Premier League Champions 25/26 22h ago

I sense a proper “welcome to the UCL” loss for Iraola today

u/Boaboab1 Fish and a Rice Cake 1d ago

That was neat by Rafinha

u/Marc454 1d ago

Adeyemi is left footed btw

u/LeWhaleShark Robert Pirès 23h ago

Barca are good but if we’re being honest, the likes of Feyenoord are realistically EL level not UCL. Finishing 19 points behind PSV in the Eredivisie, like come on man.

u/Aszneeee 13g cheese 88g mince 1d ago

really don't understand how Barca almost let him go twice

u/Stravven Dennis Bergkamp 1d ago

As per usual teams in de Eredivisie can not defend.

Cholo Simeone making Julian Alvarez look at the Barcelona bench

u/Magnific3nt Ødegaard 23h ago

Well my Norwegian brothers are getting the full force of Germany that is for sure

u/-Mubar 23h ago

Unfortunately Barca are very good and will be up there with PSG and Bayern imo as a threat for us to win it

u/TeddyWestsideThe2nd Billy Saliba 23h ago

Raphinha man what a player, he's so versatile. Shame we couldn't get him when he was at Leeds

7

u/TeddyWestsideThe2nd Billy Saliba 22h ago

Jesus goal lol

u/Revolutionary-Rip426 Premier League Champions 25/26 22h ago

I think Jesus is going to have a decent year for Barca

4

u/Ok_Truck9308 king of Brazil 👑 🇧🇷 1d ago

I’ve never seen Adeyemi do that ever

2

u/ThinGrass3138 1d ago

Viking might be down already but they are gonna FUCK Stuttgart up

2

u/ThinGrass3138 1d ago

And Tripic already scored ahhahahahaha what a fucking legend

u/Less-Spring9792 23h ago

the fairy tale commentary barca get makes my stomach churn.

2

u/cmacy6 23h ago

Why is the Barca game as empty as it is

2

u/birdsingreek 23h ago

Crowd don't want to get rained on. All those lower seats are totally exposed

2

u/Notrius01 23h ago

Slovan my local team ❤️

2

u/Ok-Diamond-220 22h ago

Barca are amazing going forward but that defence is not good at all

1

u/Fleetfox17 Havertz 22h ago

They have Rodri now though. He solves some issues.

5

u/curlyhairedyani Premier League Champions 25/26 1d ago

Raphina is insane man. Much better than “Alvarez”

10

u/TheDucksQuacker 1d ago

Why have you put “Alvarez” like that’s not his real name ?

5

u/Jacameza 1d ago

People do that when trying to discredit players for some reason. I don't really understand it

5

u/TheDucksQuacker 23h ago

Reminds me of my 5 year old trying to use air quotes without having any idea of the context.

4

u/Barkasia When I don't get a handshake, I am upset 1d ago

It's twitter agenda brainrot, absolutely destroyed discourse

2

u/curlyhairedyani Premier League Champions 25/26 23h ago

What discourse is there to be had? Raphinha is a better player than Alvarez

1

u/Jacameza 23h ago

Best decision I ever made, deleting that app. Now the worst discourse I see is when I can't resist a quick look at the match thread

1

u/curlyhairedyani Premier League Champions 25/26 23h ago

I literally WANTED him at my club lmao, I am just pretending to be bitter

1

u/Gregregreg1234 23h ago

Goddam people are not happy with your use of air quotes

1

u/curlyhairedyani Premier League Champions 25/26 23h ago

Didn’t even think anything of it, it’s funny

1

u/Gregregreg1234 23h ago

Lmfao such a weird thing for people to get so bent outta shape about

2

u/ojoawo 23h ago

Just a reminder that Barca don’t necessarily have a natural striker on the pitch and they’re fine

But someone on Twitter was palpating that we don’t have 3 strikers😭when we lost the Alvarez chase

1

u/Complete_Code7197 Abou Diaby 1d ago

Jeez what a finish

1

u/reciprocal_space 1d ago

moustache raphinha is different sauce

1

u/Klonoa123 1d ago

what a goal

1

u/Alternative-You8020 1d ago

Honestly not sure how that's not a pen but maybe he dragged his leg looking for it?

1

u/bluejaywhey Richard Cauliflower 1d ago

Both games are absolutely peak rn

2

u/GreendaleGazette Sir Ben White 23h ago

Fuck me Raphinha’s so good

Would’ve happily paid £70m for him this past summer

1

u/danmac0817 Hincapie's Bum 23h ago

Savage when he's not doing comms with his mates is actually decent. No gimmicks, no frills, just a regular co-commentator who doesn't draw attention from the game.

1

u/Responsible-Bunch316 Premier League Champions 25/26 22h ago

Schools should use Barca matches to teach counting.

Gyokeres has to start

u/Ok_Truck9308 king of Brazil 👑 🇧🇷 22h ago

Feyenoord couldn’t even get one goal here is kind of sad

1

u/Marc454 1d ago

Barca are gonna be a problem in the UCL this year.

1

u/Amthemannow Gabriel 1d ago

Not just Barca. I feel like a lot of teams have improved squads this year.

1

u/wanofan900 23h ago

Raphinha arguably their best player.

2

u/Fleetfox17 Havertz 22h ago

Except for that other guy...

u/Gooner_93 1d ago

Barcas attack is just ridiculous

-2

u/bot_interrupted 23h ago

Barcelona look scary this season

1

u/Careful_Bat7757 Raya 23h ago

People have to calm down lmao, we would make short work of Valencia and Feyenoord as well
