Lamine is on track to reach Messi's 778 appearance for Barca at about 31 years old!

If he avoids injuries he has a very good chance of overtaking Messi's assist numbers.
But he might need over 1000 matches to reach 672 goals xD

I don't know if this has been discussed enough after the Gala match, but in the first half, Lamine was visibly frustrated on a few occasions when the ball wasn't played to him.

I felt we were sometimes too eager to force that final-third pass, and most of those attempts were either intercepted or deflected, eventually allowing Gala to hit us on the counter. Rodri, in particular, seemed to deliberately slow things down rather than force the pass.

Even in his post-match comments, Rodri mentioned that the adjustment at half-time was to wait a little longer and take an extra touch or two to open up the opposition's defensive compactness before attempting the final pass.

What do you guys think? Are we becoming too impatient in the final third, trying to force verticality when a bit of pausa would help us create better openings? Or was the issue more about the timing of the passes themselves? Because, especially in the first half, I sometimes felt the ball wasn't played at the right moment either.

Curious to hear your thoughts on the balance between playing vertically and being patient in possession.

1- PSG still the team to beat, obv they had some luck last season but on their best they are still the most complete team in Europe and they get to rest their best players in ligue 1 on top, it's good to face them early on in a relatively low stakes match as to prepare for future knockout big games

2-City was no pushover either, Haaland + Bouaddi and Anderson double pivot showed its worth but admittedly when PSG were relaxed, now ofc I don't worry about a midfield battle with our best players but in a way city game will be a much harder version of Galtasaraay one (Tall strong striker upfront with pacey wingers and double pivot) so interested to see how that goes

3-Real Madrid might be the new set piece FC, I don't have any doubts about beating them in Camp Nou specially if Mourinho insists on the stinky Valverde Tchouameni double pivot but the combination of Arda Guler with all the giants in Espi Huijsen Bellingham and Rudiger could make a comfortable 2-0 lead become a 2-1 out of nowhere from a random corner

Overall everything we have to prepare for in the upcoming 2 weeks was honestly revealed just yesterday, only concerned about the most important game in El Classico being sandwiched between the other two but I trust Hansi Flick and his men to pull through

With the collab just releasing. I was wondering if anyone here could give me an idea of what shipping to the US looks like/how long it could take?
When the Travis Scott collab released I bought the retro jersey and that took 4 months to arrive. I'm hoping that's not the case here. Website says shipping by 10/30 but I'm cautious.
Has anyone that bought the last collab more recently remember how long shipping took? Thank you
