Pressure Mounts on Valverde

Barcelona have drawn 0-0 against Slavia Prague in the easiest fixture of the group. Barcelona had a terrible game and this puts more pressure on Valverde as he would have hoped to bounce back after the defeat against Levante.


The first half was all Slavia Prague they attacked the barcelona defence thoroughly and with intent. They even had a goal called of rightly due to offside.Barcelona only had one spark of light in the first half and were pretty desperate all round. They didn't show any composure on the ball and the midfield was pretty non existent throughout the match. Messi was the lone player in the pitch that showed intent and went absolutely ballistic. He tried to score,assist and create all by himself. Numerous Barcelona players were underperforming throughout the match such as Pique, Dembele,Busquets and Griezmann.

The substitutions of Valverde hardly had an Impact in the game. Rakitic was poor and did not show any intent of winning.Roberto tried but couldn't create chances for his teammates.Ansu fati tried his hardest and was the only one who was producing something for the attackers to feed of. After this series of results both the board and the manager have a lot to answer for.

Are Barcelona over reliant on Leo Messi?

B arcelona are one of if not the biggest club in Europe and the world but in the seasons gone by Barcelona have changed from a team to a one man show.That has also concluded in failing in Europe even though they are termed as favorites in champions league. Barcelona also has to consider life after Leo messi. Barcelona have invested heavily in their attack for the past couple of seasons bringing in the likes of Coutinho, Dembele,Griezmann. But the majority of the goals are still coming from their two forwards Messi and Suarez. Suarez has been in decline for the past two seasons and has lost in touch in Europe. He has scored only one goal in the 2018-19 champions league which is poor for a player of his caliber while messi scored 12 goals and had 3 assists far more than any other Barcelona players. New signings dembele and coutinho also did not enjoy the season where dembele had an injury hampered season,coutinho on the other hand had a disaster class as he was nowhere to be fou...

Norwich city has caused the biggest upset of the season. The newly promoted side has defeated Man city in the English premier league this is city's first defeat since january and can have a big effect on the season ahead.Pukki had a contribution in all three goals he scored 1 assisted 1 and was in the buildup of the first one he has continued with his brilliant run of form in the premier league and is setting the league alight. What does it mean for city? Man city really need to dip into the transfer market and get a new Centre back with company gone and not replaced and laporte out for a long time city has a shaky backline. Otamendi lost his head and gave two goal scoring chances .The third goal was an utter disgrace as Otamendi didn't even know a player was approaching him.
