1. Carlo: Arda needs minutes. Also Carlo: brings on Joselu , Modric and Carvajal in a finished game.

2. Arda is the new Brahim

3. Excellent performances from vini ,rodrygo and Brahim . Those three work together really well , maybe Carlo should try a formation which can fit all 3 and Bellingham together

   Fede was excellent as well

   No Arda is a dissapointment, maybe he will debut next game

4. The fuck is going on with all the Arda fan boys bitching like it’s the end of the world? I am happy to see Paz getting some minutes. Really happy for Brahim and Lunin. Rodrygo looked great, Fede was massive. The Lord shat the bed a couple of times, but otherwise, it was a great night. Off to the next one!

5. Good match, the first place in the group it’s almost a guarantee + sets the team up for a good match on Saturday !

6. very happy with the match overall. watching videos about la 14 before the match and this result has me SO hype i genuinely believe we can win la 15 this year. also hoping that abuelotti brahim hug means he will actually get more minutes than he’s gotten, brahim is such a delight to watch on the pitch

7. Can someone tell me why Ancelotti did not sub arda? Or why he did sub Modric and Carvajal for brahim and Lucas when the Game was already won?

8. What has Arda done to recieve this hype? He is still a boy, but in this sub hes spoken of like a sure thing veteran. I dont get it

9. Brahim played a great game today. Lets hope he is given minutes now and not send back to rot with the reserves. If only he was brought on vs Rayo we could have gotten the 3 points. Ancelotti’s subs have been so off lately, it is not like you have billion of options in attack just sub your forwards when needed ffs

10. For folks asking why Ancelotti didn’t bring on Arda: because he brought on Paz. And as a fairly conservative manager, he’s not gonna give two youngesters debuts on a Champions League night.

    And it made much more sense to give Paz a chance tonight. He’s a Castilla player and for him it was one of few occassions to actually play with the senior team. Arda is a first team player already, so will have many, many more opportunities to play than Paz.

11. Great game from us. The start was a little bit reckless but later we controlled it. Did some rotation as well. Again, great and calm game from us that secured us the advance

12. What happened to Ceballos? Is he injured again?

13. This is the rodrygo i fell in love with, a silky dribbler and a joy to watch

14. I was really excited to watch Nico today but it’s clear he’s a good level or two below other exciting 19 year olds.

    He spent most of the time ball watching, no off the ball movements, etc

    I remember Fede, Edu at his age and they were outstanding.

15. Was working like a lunatic dinosaur and couldn’t watch the game.

    Did Vini play well? I really like the kid, I hope he had a blast.

    Anyone who saw the game, can you pls let me know your observation of the game? Won’t be able to see it until tomorrow night 🙁
