More than anything the Champions League like the NFL playoffs can expose the cracks.. Although getting exposed has been common place for Barca in the past few seasons and always seems to be some sort of capitulation in an away game, however this time it was at home.. Do I think the 4-1 happens if 90k plus are in the Nou Camp.. No I don't.. But it still doesn't cover up the cracks and flaws in the team. Busquets is old and slow in the midfield and Dembele lacks confidence and doesn't track back for anything. They don't mark well on set pieces.. the third goal was just a travesty.. no one marking the 6'2 center forward whose job is basically to get on the end of balls into the box.. he would be the last person you just lose track of in your box. Either way it was not a great day for La Liga, and as a fan of Spanish football the league is clearly on the decline and I have a feeling this Champions League will be glaring example of this.. even if they were the only league to get all four teams into the knock out stage.
Alright enough rambling about CL.. which has two more games today as well as a Atleti La Liga game, so plenty to be excited about today.
Hope everyone is able to get through this bitter cold coming our way and be safe!!
Oh right Trivia.. hmmmmmm.. since I did some sports today.. I will noodle on some trivia and drop that tomorrow!
