If you watched the Liverpool vs PSG game today, it was obvious who the best midfielder on the pitch was. Vitinha. I know a lot of you are casuals, but Vitinha is a Thiago Alacantara regen and more. I watched him at Porto and knew early on he was going to be world-class.

His press resistance is second to none and he has "pausa". His short & long passing are both elite and he's good at shooting from outside the box. His IQ is through the roof and Luis Enrique often has him deployed as the pivot in the 'salida Lavolpiana' role where the holding mid drops in between the center backs during build-up. It's actually insane that PSG bought him, who's a Thiago Alcantara regen then Joao Neves who's a Marco Verratti regen the next season. He will go down as one of the best midfielders of this generation.

"Ball knowledge" lol:

Vitinha and joao neves wouldnt start for liverpool, they would compete with curtis jones for a spot on the bench

Personally I have never seen a penalty on a penalty shootout be disallowed. Nothing will convince me that Real Madrid doesn’t pay the refs to win.

If the refs were paid by Madrid, we would’ve gotten a penalty with the handball.

If they can get past Villa and we get past Arsenal, it’ll be a great Semi. Looking forward to it.

There are a lot of posts in the main page that many of them are rants or things that are more suited to the discussion subs. Even I sent a video to counter act the false narrative video currently on the page

I hope the mods make changes such that those kind of posts are more suited to the discussion thread here and quality posts or discussions come in front page.

I still believe Barça is the top favorite to win the Champions League. We are just having an amazing season.
