🚨🚨 Toni Kroos on Barcelona’s chances of winning the Champions League:
“With their current style of play, I find it VERY difficult to see Barcelona winning the Champions League.”
“Barcelona always try to create more chances than their opponents, but in the Champions League, you face teams that can score multiple goals in a single match.”
“You also face opponents who defend exceptionally well and won’t let you play your usual game.”
“And in those situations, you MUST know how to defend…."
"Barcelona depend too much on scoring two or three goals just to win a match. That’s a HUGE risk at this level.”View quoted post on X

🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Toni Kroos explains why Barcelona CAN’T have a solid defence with their current players:
“For example, Barcelona don’t have a defender like Upamecano, someone you can leave alone in a 1v1 with 30 metres of space behind him and be CONFIDENT he’ll handle it.”
“For me, Cubarsí is BY FAR their best defender. He combines strength in one-on-one duels with speed.”
“But when I look at the other three defenders, I don’t see ANYONE capable of being left alone against a striker with 30 metres of space behind the defensive line.”
“Whenever an opponent breaks Barcelona’s press, they suddenly have HUGE amounts of space to attack.”
“And the most DANGEROUS part is that this space is in front of defenders who don’t have exceptional defensive ability or the incredible pace needed to recover.”
“If I had defenders like Upamecano or Davies, I wouldn’t be worried about defending 30 metres of space.”
“But with players like Cancelo and Gerard Martín, it becomes MUCH more difficult.”View quoted post on X
Flick how?
The World Cup has given Cubarsi the global recognition his performances deserve. Huijsen go tear ACL if he put body. 😂 Credit to Flick, De la Fuente and Laporte. Pairing Laporte with Cubarsi has brought out the best in him. Laporte experience and leadership make a huge difference.View quoted post on X
It shall not be well with you.
حَقيقةً اشعر بالحيرة تِجاه تَصرفات نادي برشلونة مَع رافينيا ،، قَبل مَوسمين مِن الآن كان مُرشحَهُم للكُرة الذهبية بإعتباره اللاعب الأكثر تأثيراً فِي النادي ، إلى أن بدأت حملةٌ إعلاميةٌ لِترشيح يامين يامال قَبل إسبوعين مِن مُباراة ذهاب نِصف نهائي دوري الابطال ضِد الإنتر على ما اذكر ،،
فِي المُباراة الأخيرة و عِند مُشاهدة الإعادة تَجد تصرفات غريبة صراحةً مِن لاعبي برشلونة تِجاه كابتن الفريق ..
المُتابع يَرى بِوضُوح أن قِيمة الشِعار لدى اللاعب ليسَت اقل مِن قيمتِه لَدى البقية ،،
أنتَ تَرى رافينيا يُقاتِل على كُلِ كُرة ، يَترك روحه فِي الملعب لأجلِ الفريق ، يُعطي مَجهوداً بدنياً مُميزاً بِدون الكرة ،،
و فِي النهاية تتفاجئ بلاعبي الفريق يُجادلونه على ركلةٍ حرة لِكي لا يُسددها ، قَد يَكون اللاعبين عَلى حقٍ فِي تِلك اللحظة ..
تَسأل نَفسك هَل سَنرى نَفس التَصرفات لَو كان لامين يامال هُو الكابتن ، و يَتبادر إلى ذِهنك كَم الأخطاء التي يَرتكبها داخِل و خارج المَلعب مع الإحترام للقيمة المضافة التي يوفرها للنادي ..View quoted post on X
