last year I've also writen down here, take the Roma and Liverpool results as a poster in the changing room before each game you play.
It can not be each game defenders are terrible!!! Each game...
@stefanm That's a rare thing for big clubs these days and i admire that. Many players are throwing their toys at managers because they can't share the blame for the results or get offended very easily by the decisions(Rakitic is one of them) .Barca has a core of players with respect for the club and their fans
What was that saying about defense winning tournaments? Oblak was excellent but those 2 goals should have been enough to win - can't do it when you defend like Barca though.
@alwatp your point being? should Messi have been in defense too? or perhaps even in the goal...when you try a roast, make sure you have what it takes to start at least the spark...
@alwatp well, traditionally speaking the super copa is played by the teams that won La Liga and Copa Del Rey. This time around it will be played by 2 teams that won absolutely nothing last season...and it's being held in Saudi Arabia? Checks out as tin pot to me.
what will football not do for money? i want nasa and the spanish fa to put their heads together in order to get the supercopa played on the moon by, at least, 2050
Interesting game if you look at H2H stats . Atleti is better in CL knockout stages while Barca qualified every time they met in domestic cups since 2000. I go for Neto to be Motm and Barca to qualify after penalty shoot-out.
@Fromhell It's about the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia, not interest in the cup. I wanted to watch that game too, but this shameless selling out needs to stop.
As if Qatar 2022 (which will screw up every domestic league as it's too hot to play there in the summer btw) wasn't enough.
@alx30 The people complaining about this seem to be states, not customers. They ban it then tell the people its some sort of protest and that they are being virtuous, those people are hypocrites. If you want to see the game i recommend trying a stream from Movistar. They said they would host it, and being an Argentine company they most likely would (Messi) and besides there should be many copy-streams going up about it too.
@idiot No I'm pretty sure everybody is losing here. The cup is being boycotted internationally and the stadiums are practically empty. Saudi premiums just went up a lot, revenue will be low and spanish football will lose appeal even beyond this cup at a time when they can't use that. Would you hire the people responsible or keep them in charge if your money was at stake? I hope there's going to be accountability for the sake of football.

Farcelona is the definition of trash hahahahahaha. Lol I'm like laughing hard rn
Looks like a 4-3-3 for Atletico based on the average player positions. (?). I also agree with the consensus- Valverde out. He's had long enough.
How could I have been so wrong about Valverde! SACK HIM NOW!!!! THIS MINUTE!
@Red_Card I doubt it, Barca is not famous for sacking coaches in middle of season , they in 99 % of cases finish the season .
@stefanm That's a rare thing for big clubs these days and i admire that. Many players are throwing their toys at managers because they can't share the blame for the results or get offended very easily by the decisions(Rakitic is one of them) .Barca has a core of players with respect for the club and their fans
@stefanm But if they are smart enough they should sack him
What was that saying about defense winning tournaments? Oblak was excellent but those 2 goals should have been enough to win - can't do it when you defend like Barca though.
When Messi wins he's the GOAT. When he loses it's Valverde. Hmmmmm
@alwatp your point being? should Messi have been in defense too? or perhaps even in the goal...when you try a roast, make sure you have what it takes to start at least the spark...
@alwatp It was obviously not Messi since he is Motm again ...
People whining a lot here =P Atleast the game was good and exciting in the end!
Valverde is the worst coach that Barcelona has had in the last 20 years
Apparently the Saudis didn't pay enough to get a "super clásico" as the "final" of this mockery.
@BeautifulLoser They'll need to change the format. Maybe the 1st and 3rd places of La Liga, in a single match would have been better.
Enersto needz an immediate lose. This man cnt coach a team in knock out stages.
Hallelujah this Sueprcup for loosers this year
MESSI LOSING AGAIN. LOSER. WEAK.
@alwatp the frustrations are strong in this one...
@alwatp What have you ever won in your life, mate?
@alwatp He didn"t lose but became the best player of the match, again ... His team lost if you noticed.
@alwatp hahaha. We as barca fans. We need a new coach for next round of the champion league.. messi is great. Whether we lose or win this game.
@alwatp lol, you know Barça got into this tin pot cup by being league champions. do you know what that is?
@RickyIV So it's tin pot now Barca lost?
@alwatp well, traditionally speaking the super copa is played by the teams that won La Liga and Copa Del Rey. This time around it will be played by 2 teams that won absolutely nothing last season...and it's being held in Saudi Arabia? Checks out as tin pot to me.
@RickyIV lol imagine being winners, getting spanked by losers.
Atletico Madrid to qualify. Barcelona are weak
Is it handball ? LoL..RIP Football
@tuhin yes it is, it helped him control the ball
@tuhin Questionable for sure. 50/50 without VAR =P
what will football not do for money? i want nasa and the spanish fa to put their heads together in order to get the supercopa played on the moon by, at least, 2050
@idiot what will PEOPLE not do for money?
@Fromhell fair point
@idiot There's still a difference between being greedy and being too greedy.
@BeautifulLoser enough is as good as a feast!
MESSI DISASTERCLASS
@alwatp Barca defense is total joke
@alwatp Should have waited another minute before posting haha
So the Spanish Supercopa mutated into another crappy tournament played in an Arab country...
@BeautifulLoser The Saudis paid a lot of money to have the supercup there.
@nexus747 You don't say! Never would have guessed that!
@BeautifulLoser lol
Interesting game if you look at H2H stats . Atleti is better in CL knockout stages while Barca qualified every time they met in domestic cups since 2000. I go for Neto to be Motm and Barca to qualify after penalty shoot-out.
@alxdru i forgot over 3,5 cards for Madrid .
0-0 or 1-1
Barca to WIN and Over 2.5 goals
2-0
X2 probably, really hard game to predict, maybe 2.5 under
Why is there no way to watch this in most of Europe? What a joke
@benj Agree. Couldn't even find a stream featuring yesterdays game. Sure it's cup but still there ought to be an interest still.
@Fromhell It's about the human rights situation in Saudi Arabia, not interest in the cup. I wanted to watch that game too, but this shameless selling out needs to stop. As if Qatar 2022 (which will screw up every domestic league as it's too hot to play there in the summer btw) wasn't enough.

€€ i predict that the executives, sponsors and board room members have already won this game. €€

@benj it's a sad situation
Neto is a joke of GK , Ter Stegen is huge miss here
Time for Joao Felix to destroy this team altough he will lose in the final.
@stefanm He never seems to catch a break, and I highly doubt that he'll have his breakthrough today.
3-1 VARcelona (joke)
@watfordAlbert hahhahahaha
3-1 for Barcelona
1-2. No Ter Stegan to save farca's ass. They will suffer just like they did against espanyol
0-1
