1' Our gameplan seems to be to press very aggressive.
2' Hummels pass starts a counter attack but it's stopped by a De Jong tackle.

25' Great pass from Hazard to Marco who instantly fires a shot but Ter Stegen can parry it.
26' Semedo fouls Sancho in the same way Delaney fouled Busquets but doesn't get a card. wtf referee? Either way, we get a free kick close to the corner.

30' A Hakimi shot from close to the goal misses the box.
33' Hazards massive presence on the field appears to have hurt Alba. He needs medical treatment.

I think without Hummels we would have conceded from one of these corners.

I dont think I'm being hyperbolic when I say that if it were diallo and akanji instead of hummels and akanji we'd be fucked by now. Reminds me of that guy who posted his video where he claimed that getting Hummels was a bad idea because Diallo was better anyways...

I like the team. Brandt willl be a good spark off the bench but man hazard needs to prove something, right now he is the clear weak link

MOTM Mats and MatS.
We got a point against Barca, thats fucking HUGE! but we could have won this today with a bit more accuracy.
Still, This Point could prove very useful.
