Ale is spot on... Man I don't know what is wrong with those spanish coaches...Everytime they find a formula that works well they will somehow come up with something that makes no sense and shoot themselves in the foot! Guardiola Luis Enrique and now Xavi... Same thing over and over again!!! You have a backline that has chemistry and works well why would you switch it for THAT game?? Playing Alonso to go 1 on 1 against Rashford is CRIMINAL! And switching Araujo and Koundé also made no sense since Rashford wasn't playing on the wing...

Tell me about it. However the thing is that we don't notice it when it works, like when Xavi chose to play Gavi on the left wing against Madrid and it's carried us till today, but when the results dont go our way, then we all wonder what they were thinking. I dont mind Araujo and Kounde because they switch positions all the time, even mid game so its not a problem as Rashford didn't go through Kounde, Its the Alonso and Alba combination that I just struggle to understand, because you compromise the best defence in the world and also lose the extra wing play from Balde and the passing range of Christensen that has given us so many goals. Replacing Raphinha for Ferran after a goal and an assist was the final straw

He needed to swap Araujo back to CB and Kounde to RB (which he's done before), but wouldn't this match for some insane reason. But Xavi's penchant for starting Marcos Alonso in every big match this season isn't just questionable, it's maddening. Christensen has been brilliant. If he's healthy for the UCL, we're still in that competition.

Barcelona were favorites to win and missed out on an opportunity. Man United did not have their full squad or even a competent starting 11 (not to mention Barcas bench options are way better). Weghorst is a last second emergency striker given to Ten Haag, Sancho is just getting back after months away from the club, Sabitzer missed out so Fred replaced him, and Martinez was out due to suspension. Man U played the right game and didn’t take the win but Ten Haag will at least get some sleep knowing all players should be back for the second leg and Barca didn’t take their chance on that wide fielded Nou Camp. With Gavi out, potentially Pedri, Busquets, & Dembele out I think now Manchester United are favorite to win. Third place in the Premier League could.. and might knockout first place in La Liga.

Xavi decided to bestow a little bit of generosity to Uniteds fanbase and not field his best 11 and defense and gave them a closer game than one meets the eye.

I disagree wholeheartedly with Ale on Raphina. Raphina has been struggling with form and confidence. He has scored 2 goals in the last two matches. He's starting to get some confidence back. He's making great runs, creating plays and his work rate has been fantastic lately. For Xavi to pull him out with 15min left was complete BS and he had EVERY right to be pissed. Especially since Xavi bottled the match from the start with defensive selection!

This is why these guys don't know about tactics, Araujo and Kounde was switched by Xavi so Araujo can mark Rashford who is on the left, Araujo is much faster than Kounde. But Tan Hag thought of that and instead of putting rashford on the left, he put him as CF together with Weghorst (Weghorst actually played more no.10) and put Sancho on the left. This left Araujo marking Sancho and Rashford running behind Kounde, Alonso as they are not fast enough. Lots of wrong passes, as they were pressured because 1. Barca lost Pedri who could free up pressure with DeJong with build up, so only left with DeJong who then was man marked by Fred. 2. Utd had Fred but he is more effective on the attack than build up so only Casemiro for build up but Gavi was man marking Casemiro who then led to mistakes even cost a goal for Utd.

This draw is on xavi and the reason we gave so many opportunities away is bcuz alonso and alba starting in a high line defense against at team that loves playing ball through the center. I'm pretty sure it caught 90% of the united fan base by surprise that those two players started. Also really confused why he had araujo play at rb for 70 or so minutes when he easily could've told kounde to twitch position with him. United's left flank was dead (barca's rb side) and they were most trageting alba and alonso's side which any team would do because those two players are too often vulnerable. Almost 24hrs gone since the lineup posted and Im still trying to figure out why xavi would do what he did.

Xavi in big European games trying to keep a clean sheet. Yes, let's do that by putting Marcos Alonsa at centre back instead of christensen who has been so good playing out from the back and covering so much distance and Balde at LB who is lightening fast and would be able to keep up with Rashford's runs in behind. This is more unforgivable because he has made this mistakes before in the UCL vs milan and Bayern. But nooooo Let me bring back Alonso who hasnt even been in the lineup the past dozen games. I truly fail to understand what Xavi was thinking

Also he's absolutely wrong. Xavi would be the "happier" manager. They should have lost this match and had a red card. For the United manager, players and fans it felt like a loss. Also anyone seen 4th Genna? He's been missing for weeks. Be sure to look under a bridge near you.
