  1. Que orgullo de chicos…que orgullo de Mister…cuanto compromiso y sentimiento de pertenencia. A por la segunda Liga Consecutiva, Tercera en Cuatro años. đŸ””đŸ”ŽđŸ™Œ

  2. This win will surely take this team to the next level in terms of motivation. We might not have progressed, but the football on display tonight and the mentality shown by the team were unreal. Also, the drastic improvement in DEFENSE compared to the first leg was clear to see.

  3. Ferran is a classic example of a house with a leaking roof. Instead of patching the hole. The house owner keeps on moping the floor. You are not getting anywhere.

  4. Barca replicated the Inter performance tonight, but in the end, fitness levels ultimately cost them. Players could barely move after 75 minutes or more… Fortunately, this will improve with time, the return of key players after the international break, and if injuries are kind to them.

  5. After this game personally confirmed three thing:
    Lamine best player in the world
    Pedri best midfielder on earth
    Barca best team in the planet .

    What a perf proud and kudus to barca 👏 👏 👏

  6. If Barcelona plays like this and the key is consistent, they can not afford to come out cold in first half then try to get back in the match. I still think Rooney should've have been more of the scheme but having Marc Bernal in the mid field show to a valuable asset for Barcelona.

  7. You have to give credit to Hansi Flick for playing far away from their goal post and applied lots of pressure whenever they lost the ball to make sure that the game is far away from home.

  8. Is it worth it? đŸ˜€ We chased it after 4-0 when it almost impossible
 and it ended 3–0ïžâƒŁ. 😕 Now Balde and KoundĂ© are injured and we don’t even know how bad. 😬 Was it worth it, Hansi Flick?

  9. Lol yeah it was Musso who kept Atletico in this tie, not the wrongly (ADMITTED BY THE REFEREE ORGANISATION SO DON’T COME YAPPING ABOUT THAT IT WASN’T THEY EVEN APOLOGIZED) disallowed goal. Man it’s like refs are never looked at as if they are some supreme human beings that can’t make mistakes. The ref f-ed up in the first leg and that cost Barcelona this game, not Musso and not Barcelona themselves.

  10. Atlético won by one goal he could scored at least 3 in this game and 2 more in the first leg. Why do you keep saying the Barcelona deserved to go to the finals. Overall The best team was Atlético and that is why Atlético is going to the final period.

  11. Atleti may go to the final, but Simeone has awaken the beast. The performance that I saw today from Barça was the same I saw last season in the Champions League. It is a pity that they played without a proper number 9 due to injuries. It is my firm believe that they would have gotten it done otherwise.

  12. Take positives from today's game. It's a learning experience. U have a game against newcastle and be prepared to not let atleti 4-0 repeat at saint james park which will make it again difficult to comeback at camp nou.

  13. Classic Yamal, the king of stat-padding against the little fish, the invisible man in big games. Unless Villarreal’s on the pitch, this little goblin takes a masterclass in vanishing acts with his ONE shot on target and only TWO created chances in the whole game. He always relies on others finishing in big games instead of doing something on his own for once this entire season. But, of course, the casuals pipe up, "B-bu-but he completed multiple useless dribbles, t-th-that is more important than goals and even winning the cup!" It’s a simple fact that most of Yamal’s career goals are scored against minnows in non-crucial games, he never consistently steps up when it counts, NOT counting snagging an occasional goal in a blowout where Barca is already winning by at least 3 goals. Let’s be real: his hype is solely because he wears a Barca kit, just like with Fati and Bojan. Beyond overrated moment merchant.

  14. The disallowed goal in the first leg
    Guliano not getting a red

    2 fullbacks injured today & lewa before the match
    No squad depth so flick put araujo as a striker

    The team had a rough tie

  15. As a Barça fan, I’m stuck in this strange mix of satisfaction and disappointment.

    Right after that 4–0 defeat, I said Barça should drop this insignificant trophy, focus on La Liga and the Champions League, and let players rest to avoid injuries.

    Everyone jumped on me for saying it.

    Fast forward, and now both of our wing-backs are injured.

    Congratulations, Hansi Flick, and congratulations to the fans including the clueless ones chanting “we are Barça.

    If this had been a Champions League night, I’d have felt proud even in defeat because those are the battles worth fighting.

    Losing with heart in the CL means something. But here?

    We fought, we overplayed, and we paid the price with injuries
 all for a trophy that doesn’t matter in the bigger picture.

    Pride without purpose just leaves us weaker when the real nights come.

    Yes, the fight showed pride, The only positive outcome from all this mess is that Barça now knows: if they give 100%, they can beat anyone.

    This could have been avoided.

    we could have rested players instead of overplaying them.

    Now imagine the rest of the squad the muscle overload that’s coming from pushing them beyond their limits.

    Pride doesn’t win trophies, smart management does. And right now, we’ve sacrificed the bigger picture for nothing.

    Now we’ve jeopardized the league and the Champions League
 for what?

    To chase a meaningless trophy we ended up losing anyway.

    The irony couldn’t be louder.

  16. blame flick . why olmo and casado on the field in the first leg was and is still crazy. poor substitution against inter milan in the second leg and poor starting lineup in the first leg killed Barcelona.
