That was just deadpan boring from Barca. The ref even threw them tons of lifelines with that ridiculous 15mins added on for a goalless game

Barca has spectacular lineup this season. No weak points.

of course they have weak points

their fullbacks 

I would lose my mind if we had this lot:

Marcos Alonso  Left-Back      Dec 28, 1990 (31)   
Jordi Alba   Left-Back     Mar 21, 1989 (33)  rinsed, no matter what 10 million Barca fanbois squeal and bleat
Álex Balde    Left-Back     Oct 18, 2003 (18)  (he is their main hope at LB, and is only 18 atm)

Héctor Bellerín    Right-Back    Mar 19, 1995 (27)  never remotely the same after his horrid knee injury
Sergi Roberto   Right-Back     Feb 7, 1992 (30)   

 

and they have only a 21yo and a 23yo with almost no experience for back up keeper

if ter Stegen goes down they are fucked

[Blues Forever 1,232]

Sampaoli will replace him.

Barca destroyed Madrid in El Classico. I think domestic treble this season. Plus Europe League.

Real has a lot of dregs still and is also ageing in many places, so it is hardly shocking that they will all out (now or eventually) for monster players like Bellingham, Gvardiol, Mbappe, Håland, Enzo, Musiala, Alphonso Davies, Reece, Hakimi (if they cannot get Reece), Osimhen (if they pass on Håland) etc etc

here are their best players (and look at some of the ages), the ones who are good enough

none of their fullbacks are good enough, and if you take away the 3 oldsters, they have no CF and almost no almost no depth anywhere 

they only have 11 outfield players who are truly good enough, take away the 3 oldies, and they have 8

Thibaut Courtois 
Andriy Lunin (decent backup keeper) 
Éder Militão 
David Alaba (31yo this summer)
Antonio Rüdiger (30yo in a month and a half)
Aurélien Tchouameni 
Federico Valverde  
Eduardo Camavinga 
Toni Kroos  (34yo in middle of nest season)
Luka Modric  (38yo at start of next season)
Vinicius Junior 
Rodrygo 
Karim Benzema (36yo in the middle of next season)

Endrick (but doesn't come until summer 2024)

 

and the ones who simply are not good enough:

Nacho Fernández (and is 33yo tomorrow) dregs
Jesús Vallejo dregs
Ferland Mendy has been poor
Daniel Carvajal (32 next  season) in systemic decline
Álvaro Odriozola dregs
Dani Ceballos  dregs
Eden Hazard (and is 33yo in middle of next season) so poor now, it is sad
Marco Asensio has been poor for ages, his career never took off like it looked it would
Lucas Vázquez (32yo this summer) not dregs but hardly good enough
Mariano Díaz dregs

Reinier (on loan and injured again) has been a 30m euro bust since they bought him 3 years ago in Jan 2020
