Ale Moreno

Oh, what could possibly go wrong?

Well there's an argument to be made that the ball is going behind Giuliano Simeone.

Now that's up for interpretation and whether you think that in the ball going in behind Giuliano Simeone that actually takes him away from the path towards goal and then does that constitute then a denial of a clear goal scoring opportunity.

Again, that's up for interpretation.

What is not up for interpretation is that Pau Cubarci, as young as he may be, he's played enough games for Barcelona to stop making this sort of mistakes.

And now I don't have to go too far to pick out a mistake from Pau Cubarci.

You only have to go back to the match that took place on Saturday between these two teams.

And the goal by Juliano Simeone in that very game is from a very similar run, from a very similar run.

And Kubarski has no idea that Juliano Simeone is behind him.

Now, it doesn't help.

It doesn't help.

I'll be the first to admit.

Yeah, Joao Cancelo couldn't care less about defending.

That's a different conversation.

But Kubarski doesn't even know that Juliano Simeone is there.

And you're a center back.

You get sucked out of position.

Same thing in this goal.

or in this red card play that we saw in the midweek, in that it's almost as if Cubercy's surprised that Juliano Simeone has appeared there, so much so that he's trying to get out of the way, ends up taking him down, ends up in a red card.

And I'll take it even a step further.
