I’m not really mad about the result. fair game, did not see Barca this year, but wow, they play very good football. cant name one bad apart from Lewa (thank god tho). De Jong and Pedri are brutal.
and of course the ref was bullshit. at first half I felt like he wont stop until we get a red or two, while Barca get no card for anything. then second half I felt like hes doing everything to get a draw. then I realised its La Liga, so he was just plain bad as usual
but still, its not Barca away to win to get titles. its Elche at home that cost us…
