What the hell guys! Haha. I saw Milan end the game 2 goals and was pleased as I was 100% sure I put them as 3:0 winners in the pool but then I checked dashboard on Superbru and it says I put 0-3 Salertinata. I mean wow, haha, even back when I was putting in big upsets, I would never have in my life said this relegation-stamped team could put 3 goals past Maignan without letting anyone break their net.

FML =D

not just that, you missed the topic as well Grin

, since this La Liga pool

who would expect Barca to go down by Betis, I mean they won two in a row, so I saw them back up, but it will be a harsh road, not lining up
Sevilla won, Granada won also yesterday

I was just saying a week or two ago actually that Europa League would be not bad for us to play in, to train our youngsters and give us more time to develop.

there are some really tough teams in the europea league like West Ham, Leverkusen, Napoli, Real sociedad...

Odds on Barca are around @1.5, that is big underestimation of Betis if you as me. My bet goes on Betis to score for sure if I get good odds on that and both to score, maybe even some x2.

what were the odds for Betis to score? i gotta start considering this line in every Barcelona match cos their defence is just horrendous

I was just saying a week or two ago actually that Europa League would be not bad for us to play in, to train our youngsters and give us more time to develop. The prize money isn't great but if we really cut all our wage bills, we should be able to manage. I mean even United was there last few seasons too so that's not too bad.

(I say this convincing myself lol)

After so many years in Champions League I can convince myself to see Barca playing in Europa league. Though, even if we will beat Bayern somehow, qualifying for next season Champions league won't be easy and as Trofo said, difference of prize money is big.
On the other hand, Barcelona is preparing Espai Barca project with reconstructed Camp Nou and New Palau Blaugrana and it will cost €1.5 billion. This project will bring profits in the future, but I'm not sure how club in such poor financial situation can afford to make such expensive projects.

It's definitely a problem of money now for us, so of course it makes sense to just try and qualify (and no doubt Xavi knows this is the minimum the club expects).

I just still think that maybe, we really need to be serious about rebuilding, continue to tie down the players we want and need for the future (and future is now 2 years more like 5 years). And if this means focusing on training and team structure, and sacrificing Champions League aspirations for that, I'm okay. I mean, really, Europe League and winning it is also good for them (as it qualifies them for UCL). And we ARE good enough to do that.

tough game for Barca against Real Betis, and next week they'll face Bayern...will Xavi rotate the squad? what's his top priority right now? staying in the race for top 4? or avoiding Europa league at all cost? 🤔

Big difference between United and Barca is that United has money and plays in Premier League which gives them even more money on TV rights and other sponsorships. Barca is in debt and they need that Champions League cash to start turning things around. Europa league is basically a death sentence in this situation. I am thinking CL spot is first priority for Barca this season. Bayern is secure on first position so maybe they will go easy on Barca? I doubt it, but we can hope.

I think that reaching top4 position is Barca priority at the moment, and they will probably catch it in the end, not because they are great, simply because competition is pretty lousy, and there is no fourth team that can keep up until the end of the season, Sociedad seems as one at the moment, but they will be pulled down with a no-win series at one moment

it is up to Barca, but they will somehow managed to reach at least position 4, and Betis is probably a priority compared to Bayern, since Bayern is much better at the moment, and Barca hardly can avoid defeat in Munich

BTW, Sevilla their game against Cordoba from 4th division Cordoba won just after Extra Time. I watched this game, but TV channel didn't bothered to show Extra Time and after 90 minutes of game they just switched to Merseyside derby. And I'm paying money for such service Cheesy

.

it is some kind of Andalusian derby and it is never easy to win over clubs that are geographically close to you
regarding your TV service, they probably did not plan a scheme where Sevilla has to go to overtime

and regarding Real last night, I won a bet @1.6 for a home win, was not sure that Real is going to win, but having Real at home @1.6 against any team other than Barca and Atletico is really a value bet

In any case, speaking of Sevilla, Jules Kounde helped 2 fans travel to see their next tie in Copa del Rey. Similar to Harry Kane recently who promised 2 fans who spent 31 hours travelling but Burnley game postponed, that they'll be watching the next game as his personal guests.

I love these footballers, such kind hearts.

It's nice to hear about such things. Even if it's done for PR, it's still positive thing and fans will remember it for long.

Totally agree man. I know for sure nowadays players have agents, and even some of them have other people managing their Twitter or social media, but for me, it's the thought that counts and even if it wasn't really Kounde or Kane who said those things (but I have a big feeling it's them or at least the original words came from them), it's positive and this is what club owners and coaches need to learn about

Stop paying for the service haha or make a big complaint to them for a refund Wink

I would say - Sevilla as usual, they cannot win against major team away, and that is happening season after season

Osasuna played 1:1 with Elche, did not expected that, they are usually better at home, and Elche was with many injured players, but obviously tough defenses are the way in La Liga

There were a lot of draws in all the leagues I did not expect, so even getting Barca win was not good enough for me as I failed on other parts of my multibet.

I guess the answer was semi expected. They did take the lead but if you're going up against Real you've to decide what to do after a lead long before the game. You can't defend it, that's for sure, so you take advantage and go for more or you try to get them to play the game they don't want, which is to think in the end they can score late.

Looking forward to Real game tonight, really want to see how good is Sevilla. They are getting the points but I feel like it is more a case of not so good competitors than their actual worth. We shall see tonight. My bet is on both to score to make it more interesting to watch.

Anyway, all pointless to think Real are out of this season as some people on Twitter were saying earlier. Immediate question is if they can hold on to Benzema. That guy seems to be motivated by off-field happenings!

Anyway a 3 pointer for me from last night's game but I am far far away

Trofo still on the top so far, but surprisingly Top 3 in this pool's leaderboard doing crap this round -- or is this no surprise since the favourites are dropping points like a kid dropping Halloween candy? -- 3 draws means 3 zeroes for me though Espanyol looks like they'll hold on for the win for another wrong prediction for me...

Well it was about time I drop the points difference to the top at least for a few points. My plan in the pools is always to be in the striking distance of money positions before last few game weeks and then storm the table

This pool needs some work, I am happy where I am in the other two.

That's for sure the worse, casperBGD, to not win as a fan as a a predictor, the worse is always betting against your team and losing though, which is why I can never bring myself to bet against Barcelona. I never even bet on them to draw or to use positive handicap, and I guess 99% of fans who bet also never do that against themselves or am I wrong to assume that?

Actually, I used to think this was the case too. I've never bet against Liverpool or my local team. Just can't bring myself to do it, even when value bets present themselves (cup games usually I'd say for Liverpool or when they're huge favourites just based on form). But the last time I discussed this with some sports gamblers, apparently there are many who bet against their team just so that if they lose, they at least have some consolation prize money. Hedging bets, if you will. I see nothing wrong with that ha.

And today's score 3:1 looks quite easy on paper, but it's not, considering that Villarreal made score 1:1 15 minutes until end of game. In Messi era probably it wouldn't be big deal, but for current Barca winning such game is big achievement.

yeah, Barca scored two goals in last minutes, Villareal was usually easy, but I expected from them to hold today
what I did not see before the match is that this is Barca's first away win this season, somehow thought that Barca already won something on a side, but they did not before Villareal, and I would chase that win @2.7 for sure, if I was aware of that

shitty round for me so far, only Mallorca came as expected, changed Valencia from draw to win in last minutes, so double-zero, as a fan and in the pool (not betting on my favorite clubs)
