1. >Alphonso Davies: “I feel very comfortable here. I’m playing in an incredible team, for one of the absolute top clubs in Europe” [@FrankLinkesch, @kicker]

   >Davies recalls the treble season: “The 2019/20 season was a very special one, not just for me, but for the entire club. It was like a dream, everyone was euphoric. To experience a season like that as a young player and winning the treble was of course unbelievable.”

   >Davies: “In 2020, nobody was really paying attention to me, I was a relatively unknown and I delivered. After that, the expectations of me were of course higher. I think that on the whole I did justice to that, but of course not always, not in every game.”

   >Davies: “My style of play has changed a bit since then [2020] – A little less tricks, a bit less dribbling, a bit less risk. But I understand other things better today than I did four years ago and have more experience.”

3. Just two points now…will we go top this time next week?

4. Absolutely no way did they schedule a test match between Al Nassr and Miami today to have the Messi vs Cristiano rivalry again lol

5. Reading a lot about Xavi’s situation at Barca, I found out the chaos and battle that a lot of fans have in Barcelona forums and Twitter, the most radical guys are blaming some fans for saying “Xavi Out” and creating a campaign that led to his announcement, add to that the Spanish press that in my opinion is one of the worst shits I’ve seen.

   Now my question is, do you think that the press/fans have the power to kill a project or to make enough noise to do that? I think the press may do but I’m not sure the fans do. I don’t think that u/xnxthemx can make Tuchel think “omg i should start tel”, so nothing, it’s a long comment but I find hilarious the kind of chaos that Barca is living rn.

   P.S. They want Flick lol
