So the math is not with Real Madrid.

But if you really want to make the math work for Barcelona and not for Real Madrid, then continue to drop points, Real Madrid, and then of course this will be over.

Who's more likely to drop more points on the way in as we finish La Liga season?

I think it's Real Madrid.

If I'm going to trust one, I'll trust Barcelona-ish.

It's like, again, like I trust Xhaka's power rankings-ish.

So not much.

But more than Real Madrid.

Ja.

No Bundesliga, Shaq?

I don't know how you feel about it, Shaq, but it's really sad, really sad, when your manager, in this case, Ernest Lott, when he's trying to make a case for Liverpool in having a chance in the second leg, he's not making an argument for Liverpool and the attributes and skill set of Liverpool or the things that they could do to give themselves an opportunity.

His argument was they missed a bunch of open chances.

They gave us an opportunity because they missed a bunch of the chances that they created.

It wasn't anything about we can do this or we can do that or we can do this better or we can do that better.

It was they allow us

to live because they didn't create opportunities.

That is a sad argument to make if you're trying to build some sort of confidence and manufacture confidence for the second leg.

Not quite the beacon of positivity you're looking for.

No, it's not.

That light at the end of the tunnel.
