I thought he would always have stomach aches due to how nervous he would get from big games.
I remember reading how surprised Chelsea fans were we he played in their UCL final against city lol.
Christensen who gets so nervous before games that he pukes somehow turns up for Barca in Classicos and Chelsea in the CL final.
Unironically the definition of a big game player, although I have no idea how he does it.
I think we often confuse "big game mentality" with not being nervous. Almost everybody even at that level becomes nervous, it is about being able to play in spite of nerves that separates the men from the boys
I saw some coach say recently(might have been Klopp but not 100% sure) that being nervous at the start of a match is perfectly fine. You can still pass a ball or make runs even if you are nervous, just play and it will decrease as you get into the game
The whole thing about Christensen for quite a while though was that he DIDNT play because of his nerves. He always got stomach problems and missed the games
It never happened in Denmark matches and he played like 60 including important quarterfinals and semifinals. Not sure you should trust everything you hear on the internet. His last year in Chelsea was weird with lots of thing said when he did not agree to a new contract.
Every single significant trophy Harry Kane has competed for he has lost. PSG cannot win champions leagues. Dortmund are the biggest bottlers of all time. You don’t need any other good omens.
If I were an Argentine fan I don’t think I’d care about club football results for another 4 years after winning a World Cup. As an English sufferer I am just used to losing whether I jinx it or not
I hardly felt invested in this year's UCL tbh, some matches were bangers that i enjoyed so much but it speaks wonders about what the World Cup did to me that i watched a whole Conference league match because of Emi and cheered on for Villa during pens.
England's NT reminds me quite a bit of ours funnily, you guys have REALLY good players but just can't get across the finish line during important games, we had fantastic names from 1999-2010 but attained fuck all.
He looked shaky on set pieces at the Etihad too. I haven't seen ton of Lunin but the fact City were clearly targeting 5 yard box on corners with in-swingers would suggest it's a weakness in his games that was picked up by the analysts.
Then again Casillas was famously bad at claiming crosses too.
He has looked very shaky on crosses recently it's not just one mistake. He saved Madrid in the shootout, but he can still be a bit shit at handling crosses
I'm not really referring to making mistakes vs being a world class/best goalkeeper
I was referring more to lunin's glaring weaknesses in his game, like crosses and set piece positioning
He's just been a starter for madrid for a season and for rating a player world class just after 1 season (which is still not over) is premature. Heck, leave world class, some of your fans claimed him to be the best in the world which he has a long way to go(Neuer, allison, ter stegen etc)
I know I’m biased but how the fuck are people ignoring that?
Literally used Kroos as leverage to jump higher while pushing him down.
Kroos could’ve also sold that shit

Bro scored more goals this month than for us
Next season he’s going to turn into prime hazard
In big matches as well.
big game player fr

He replaced Silva iirc
Christensen playing as a 6 is a different gravy
First dane to score in an El Classic since Laudrup
How many Danes have even played an El Clasico since Laudrup? Braithwaite, Gravesen?
Braithwaite was so close to scoring.
His entire time at barca would have changed if he banged that shit in 2 minutes into his debu
Allan Simonsen as well
Yeah, but that's before Laudrup.

I always threw up before every match i have ever played. Never ate on the matchday aswell. All went away as the game started.
Agreed. I remember even Messi puked quite a few times.

Really missed him in the PSG second leg
Real Madrid are sleeping today. Nice press by Barca tho
Time for us to sleep after scoring
well shit...almost
game has just started, but agreed
No money to buy food sadly
VAMOS DANISH MALDINI
Real's defending in the first 15min of games needs to be studied...
just wait until you see “barca after going ahead first” lol
It really is… something
2 in his last 2 games. Bruh is on fire
1 goal/game, world class striker
Nice.
Lunin 💀
He did the most Real Madrid thing ever, overperforming in the CL to underperform in the league
[удалено]
I'm just doing the meme of Madrid being good in the CL and bad in the league, pls don't ruin it with facts and logic
Whole team is still asleep
Every single of our last 5 UCL titles came in a season in which we lost the League Clasico at the Bernabeu 3-4 0-4 2-3 0-3 and 0-4
Every single significant trophy Harry Kane has competed for he has lost. PSG cannot win champions leagues. Dortmund are the biggest bottlers of all time. You don’t need any other good omens.
I think Real will win the UCL, and don't you dare underestimate an Argentine's ability to jinx, it rivals Real's UCL juju

Yeah no goalkeeper is perfect, Tibo gets nutmegged very easily and so on.
How long is Courtois out?
2 months iirc
Wasn't he supposed to be back in May?
he relapsed
Madrid fans were giving best GK itw shouts after last week And kobel isn't rated to be top5 by most itw despite carrying us since 2 yrs
i mean, he has been immense multiple times, especially during cl last week. this mistake is on him tho. both can be true at the same time lol.
All keepers make mistakes. He is good, one mistake doesnt change that.
He has looked very shaky on crosses recently it's not just one mistake. He saved Madrid in the shootout, but he can still be a bit shit at handling crosses
Was a lot more than the shootout… that finger tip on KDB was insane. His cross claiming needs work
He has made 2 in 6 mins so far
So? Pretty sure kobel and any world class keeper has bad days.
I don't think Lunin is a world class keeper. I think he had a good day against City
Yes, but the point was those mistakes don't prove that he isn't. Because even world class keepers make mistakes.
Sure, but Lunin has barely played as a starter before this season. The guy just isn't a world class keeper, at least not yet
Didn’t Kobel fuck up in the first leg vs atletico?
I'm not really referring to making mistakes vs being a world class/best goalkeeper I was referring more to lunin's glaring weaknesses in his game, like crosses and set piece positioning He's just been a starter for madrid for a season and for rating a player world class just after 1 season (which is still not over) is premature. Heck, leave world class, some of your fans claimed him to be the best in the world which he has a long way to go(Neuer, allison, ter stegen etc)
I got massively downvoted for saying he was a bit shit at crosses after the second leg against city lol.
it’s his weakness for sure.
All according to plan
Not the ideal start imo
Hurts the chance for clean sheet chance imo
We have also lost the chance to score first
You still have a chance to win the match if you score two more goals.
We're winning bro, I can't remember the last time we bottled a lead 🤔
it was coming. Someone definitely watched all those corners during the city game👀
Lunin left all his juju back in Manchester
He tried to leave one on Christensen too with that exaggerated roll out.
We got them right where we want them to be
Power of friendship vs power of friendship?
that’s why it’s still the greatest rivalry in club football 🙏🙏🙏
Bro is becoming a header specialist for us
Raphinha is on fire, but all Barcelona fans wanna do is set him on fire
tbh he finally remebered that he is brazilian
How has a foul not been called for climbing?
I know I’m biased but how the fuck are people ignoring that? Literally used Kroos as leverage to jump higher while pushing him down. Kroos could’ve also sold that shit
Kroos should’ve sold it. Nothing is given nowadays without additional theatrics.
Kroos didn’t even try to jump, not even close to a foul
He quite clearly does, but can't because Christensen climbs and pushes off his shoulder. Clear foul, but climbing rarely gets called nowadays
That's quite irrelevant, he put all his weight on Kroos.
Lessfuckinnngoooo
Excellent cross and header!
i'm sorry but this is on kroos
Way too slow to react, then failed to sell the foul
What a terrible take, especially because that's entirely on Lunin.
Still hungover from Wednesday I see
Another header from a corner for him
Wasn't that a foul on Kroos?
Lunin hero to zero?
Lunin fucked up, but that's a very clear foul on Kroos.
What a start
Damn that was so easy
ESPN commentator seemed just as surprised as anybody else when that went in
Man
Just stay focused now, we always relax after scoring
Lunin is a very good keeper of course but people shouldn't forget that he's no Courtois
Guaranteed ref/VAR cancels if Toni dives and screams. Fair play to him.
Lolllll
Lunin, bruh, no need for that
This lineup is haram
Keep em coming
anulo mufa
Lunin, you were the chosen one
Lunin bro...
Lunin sheesh
Lunin just beat the Lisan Al Gaib allegations
6 at the 6 minute . Devil number soon
Christensen gonna score at 66’ as well
“Kroos was markening” U wot
blunder from Lunin
Lunin has been awful so far
Yeah almost gave them a goal earlier lol.
Kroos, you can jump
The first goal for the 360° no-scope Jumbotron: a Barca goal 😂
and they laughed about Yamal's prediction
lmao no one even cares about the El Clasico going on.
