Frank Lampard would be Barcelona’s second-highest goalscorer and second-highest assist provider. Aside from Lionel Messi, no Barcelona player, dead or alive, can chat to him.

Football fans around Europe took great pleasure in mocking Real Madrid for their petulance regarding the Ballon d’Or boycott. That included Manchester City supporters who were given the perfect chance to take aim at the Spanish club — and specifically Vinicius Junior — when the teams were drawn against each other in the Champions League in February 2025. They unfurled a banner behind the goal with a photo of Rodri kissing the Ballon d’Or, accompanied by the lyrics from an Oasis song titled: “Stop crying your heart out.” Vinicius Jr didn’t forget about it and had the last laugh, of sorts, this March as he marked scoring twice in a 2-1 win at the Etihad Stadium by pretending to cry in celebration of his winning goal. 🔗 nyti.ms/4dTOSRe

For the first time this season Barcelona have played a LaLiga game and Negreira is innocent. I never knew the Negreira gimmicks were only because Barcelona were winning.

The difference yesterday between gordon and diamonde was like watching a pro footballer and u15 academy winger Thats why you buy wingers based on football talent not based on " flick pressing system " Now we have an English flop winger cost 80M great

I just don't understand why we played so slow in possession last night. That was the most un-Flick like performance we've had in a very long time. We were so stale. I don't get it.

Why didn’t Flick adapt his tactics to the situation? We were drawing, and the gap at the top was still 6 points. Real Madrid were the ones who needed a win to cut that gap to 3 points, so why keep pressing so high and leaving so much space behind our defence? We could have dropped into a low block in the final minutes and looked to hit them on the counter. Adeyemi’s pace, Frenkie’s ability to carry the ball and Gabriel Jesus’ movement gave us the perfect options to exploit the spaces Madrid would have left behind while pushing forward for a winner. We didn’t need to take unnecessary risks when a draw was still a decent result for us. Madrid had to chase the game, not us. Let them commit players forward and punish them in transition. We learned nothing from the Inter game. We learned nothing from the Atlético game. And now we’re making the same mistakes again. At some point, Flick has to understand that adapting to the game doesn’t mean abandoning your philosophy. It means knowing when to take risks and when to manage the result. You cannot play every single minute the same way and expect to win the biggest games.
