Never watch them, but after that sending off knew it was a forgone conclusion so watched the second half. The only team that can stop them retaining the title is themselves.
One ‘weakness’ I always thought was the lack of a craftsman in midfield. They have that now. There ain’t a better central midfielder on the planet. Xavi is the greatest I have ever seen, and it’s clear as day as a youngster this fella has developed alongside him.
I appreciate class regardless of who they play for. I applauded Son when I was at Goodison the season before last when he was sensational. As a Celtic fan I also loved that Rangers team of 97-98 with Laudrup, Negri, Albertz and co (being at an Irish Catholic school I’d never have disclosed it but I preferred watching them, but glad Celtic won the league).
I won’t be watching them unless it’s forgone conclusions like today. At least when I do I can appreciate the master in midfield.
