Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
Alonso looks funny when he runs lol
Fermin w/ the Ferran-aim
That’s one proper shot from cancelo
Ugh, not another corner
Fouls on Felix are legal, just FYI.
Iñigo looks much worse with his new haircut
Cancelo is dumb as a rock. Every single game he does some stupid shit.
Nooo lamal
that’s a pen
Fucking hell, Fermín should’ve scored that
Lol half the starting lineup + the captain on the injured bench
Anyone know why Lamine isn’t in the starting XI for Barça?
Seems as though Athletic don’t have as much trouble finding goals as they did last season and they’re doing decent. But they often get thrashed when they go to Barcelona so even if they’re missing a lot of players, I don’t expect anything less than a 3-0 here.
Love Romeu’s long passing
Our squad depth for this game is hilariously thin. Hoping for the best but prepared for the worst.
