If we lose tonight, this man will be hailed as a tactical genius who completely outcoached Flick, and as usual Flick looses to every big manager.
But if we win, suddenly Emery doesn't matter, Aston Villa aren't a serious opponent, and it was never a big game to begin with.
i feel like some of you would still be saying "this defensive structure isn't sustainable" in the 89th minute of the ucl final when we're leading. it's gotten ridiculous. we've seen what happens when the defenders actually perform tonight : clean sheet. it really is that simple
i still stand by the fact that flick is the most cruyff coded manager we've ever had. midfielders at full back, full backs at centre back. right wingers being moved to the left (and later, to striker 🇧🇷), insane midfield depth, just soo fascinating

🖤 Raphinha: “Today, I don't want to talk about football. It's clear that I want to dedicate this victory to the fans, but I want to send a lot of strength to Jesus's family, may he rest in peace.”
“I think today is not a good day to talk about football. In the end, this can happen to anyone. The truth is that it's very tough. When we saw the news, it was complicated.”
“In the end, you go to play a match, and the same thing could happen to you. I, from the club, want to send a lot of strength to his family.” #FCB 🙏
60 in 15 games wow. the silverware we win is gonna determine the craziness of the convos i'll be putting this team in. the floor is top 5 all time
something's off with raphinha and i don't think it's related to football. hope he solves his problems
flick i love you but even i can't defend the way rodri is being handled. why is he getting rested now and not on saturday?
