Let me know if there are any mistakes, or if there’s something you want me to change
the younger the players are, their socks are getting smaller I think. They almost dont use any shin protections either
another pen not given
this also should be pen for Bilbao. Its really sad state of refereeing
Looking like 70% better than 1st half
This reeks of a late 1-0 winner. Not like Barcelona’s playing too well but Athletic lost a lot of steam this half.
ref will not call anything for Felix today
Seems as though Athletic don’t have as much trouble finding goals as they did last season and they’re doing decent. But they often get thrashed when they go to Barcelona so even if they’re missing a lot of players, I don’t expect anything less than a 3-0 here.
This is why i love this club. Best academy bar none
In times of need, La Masia dropped another bombshell. holy damn
