    Messi needs people to talk to play well? Since when? Players can take motivation from many things, if it will not be people talking, it will be something else.

    8 - Pedri

    Pedri may just be brittle. We can't know for sure until he's managed at another club but it's obvious his physicality is poor. On top of being regularly injured he is frequently getting very tired during matches. Ideally, he would be paired with midfielders who run much more than him, so he can...

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    When professional athletes get to the level of playing for Madrid or Barca, players talking before games has nothing to do with their motivation. These are professionals of a very high level, some player verbalising before a game doesn't change anything, players at this level are already...

    23 - Jules Kounde

    Some of the performances from him have been truly unacceptable. Players have bad form, but this isn't. These are his weaknesses being highlighted against dangerous attackers. As a player who offers less going forward and is mainly a defensive resource he should be relied upon to hold his side...

    Bastoni is rapid btw, just inagile in turning sometimes but he is a top sprinter. He should be next on our target list.

    Could have been 4 or 5 very easily. Kept us in it

    8 - Pedri

    This is one thing people are missing, Xavi was a pure athlete, in terms of physical attributes Pedri is very far from him and that limits what he can show with the ball even if his technique is near as good.

    8 - Pedri

    Xavi would be the best midfielder by a country mile in today's game and wouldn't be remotely close to anyone else either.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I mean at the same time, if he wants out, I don't think Barca will stand in his way if the transfer fee is 300 or 400m or whatever has been reported. He is the star of the club, but he also isn't bigger than it.

    10 - Lamine Yamal

    I don't think it's really too much about his attitude but more that he needs to learn to affect the game in different ways. There will be times any winger can struggle with their marker for whatever reason, or have less of the ball, have less space to operate with the ball etc, that is where...

    16 - Fermín López

    Nice finish, but not passing to Rashford in the 2nd half sequence is amateur, I'm going to assume he just had his head down and didn't see because there's no way he actually chose not to.

    World Cup '26 qualifiers discussion

    Albania score their first ever goal against Serbia, which is enough to give them the win and practically eliminate Serbia from qualification. Goal from ex-Barca Rey Manaj!

    Those players you mentioned displayed injury proneness before already or they had signs of it. Sometimes some of it is down to the club. But a lot of the time players are predisposed to injury problems too, Lamine is not one of them, he has competed at a very high intensity without injury...

    Barcelona's next number 9

    Approaching the goal from midfield is very different to maneuvering with your back to goal in the box.
