Messi was a disgrace tonight. Barca very poor. Espanyol deserved the draw.

Can Atletico Madrid improve in the 2nd half of the season and win the league? Neither Barca or Madrid have looked too impressive, and with AM having lots of new players etc..a settled team an all that?

I can see a repeat of 15/16 season when it’s finished very close at the top.
Difference between Barca 1st and AM 3rd was only 3 pts.
AM lead at the 1/2 stage. 

Barca are desperate for the champions league. One win (&Final) in 8 years is very poor for a team like that.
Messi won’t be around forever.

Ateltico aren’t good enough anymore. They’re in serious decline. I’d say Jan Oblak is the only reason they’re still in contention.

If Real Madrid get their act together, they should win the league. Barca’s away form is abysmal but they’re very strong at home. 

The league isn’t as strong as it was two years ago and it’s miles behind where it was five years ago.

They've spent a fortune recently though Frank, albeith they have sold plenty to fund it. Is there defence the weakness now? Or has Simeone run his course as a manager

Must be the longest walk on the green mile by a manager in history. for 18 months Valverde, the players, and the fans have been waiting for him to be sacked. mes que une club indeed LOL

Should just appoint Messi as player manager seeing as he runs that team anyway. Xavi as his assistant.

According to some reports Xavi is getting a two and a half year contract.

Have to agree, don't know how he survived after the 2nd leg against Liverpool.

Xavi will be a disastrous appointment. A few matches as manager in the Qatari league is nowhere near enough experience for this job. Miguel Delaney said last night in twitter that he’s been sh*te as manager of Al Saad anyway.

Valverde gone. Quique Setien in until the end of the season.

Yeah, he had Betis playing very well. Won at Camp Nou and Bernabeu with Betis as well. He actually has a contract until end of 21/22 season.

Still think Valverde has been treated very harshly.

Valverde was never popular at Barcelona but the way he was treated was terrible, I'd say Xavi would have loved to take over but obviously had enough respect and integrity towards Valverde not to take the role. 

I agree with Seiten plays decent football, a disciple of Cruyffian ways I seen which should suit Barcelona down to the ground.

Whether he'll see out his 2 and half years though i'm not sure.

Disagree, the way Barca went out of the Champions League over the past two seasons was embarrassing, Fair enough he won 2 titles but the style of football was poor and think he has the worst win percentage record of the 5 previous managers.
 
Setien is a great appointment, his Betis side were a joy to watch and he had Betis playing the way Barca should be playing.

I agree about the manner of the CL exits not good enough for a team like Barca. His days were numbered after that.
