    Camp Nou

    The lower part of the stand was re-profiled, it is marginally steeper now, honestly just cosmetic. They already lowered the pitch 2,5 meters in 1994 so all they could do was this.

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    One of the very few defenders in FC Barcelona history not being called up to the nation team even when playing as a starter in a Champions League final to boot, he could not even make the squad. Some people claim Oleguer refused to play because of politics (separatist sympathiser) but he later...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Oleguer may have been a rubbish player but with him as a starter Barcelona won 2 leagues and a Champions League beating Chelsea, Benfica, Ac Milan and Arsenal. Puyol made Oleguer overperform though.

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Puyol was way better than either of Pique or Koeman. He held together the back line like no other defender this club has ever seen. In 2003-4, without Puyol we would have finished 10th in the league. 2 of the worst defender I have ever seen in a Barcelona shirt played at the same time, Reizinger...

    5 - Pau Cubarsí

    Imagine if the club had done that when Puyol made a fool out of himself agains Liverpool back in 2001, Emile Heskey ate him for breakfast that day. We would have lost the best defender this club has ever seen before he even got a chance to prove it. Cubarsi has every posibility to become a...

    Diego Simeone

    Name one contemporary manager that has many wins against Barcelona other than Zidane? And Zidane only got a good record because Barcelona imploded around 2018. Pellegrini has 5 wins from 39 Valverde has 5 wins from 36 Emery has 3 wins from 30 Mourinho has 8 wins from 27 Mendillibar has 1 win...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    When we paid 55 million for this guy I thought Laporta and Deco had lost the plot. And to be perfectly honest, under Xavi he was at best bang average, but Hansi Flickinator has turned this guy into a very useful player out of nothing.

    Camp Nou

    The timeline include demolishing the third tier and the roof. Then excavating the area around the old structure for the foundations of the new third tier and the car park. After that they had to remove concrete and reinforce the old structure that was in much worse shape than expected, it is...

    FC Barcelona Femení

    Unfortunate, Patri is IMO the most important player in the squad. But if you are going to loose a player for 3 months, it is better now than in February-Mars when all the important games are played. 10 games played, 10 wins. 50 goals scored, 2 conceded. Beatriz Alvarez is our talisman for sure...

    Atlético Madrid

    5 goals against Real Madrid for the first time since wining 6-3 in 1950, 75 years ago. Atletico has only scored 5 goals or more against Real Madrid on 4 occations, 5-0 in 1947, 5-1 in 1950 6-3 also in 1950 and 5-2 in 2025. Atletico has also won by scoring 4 goals on 10 occations. This was...

    FC Barcelona Femení

    Liga F is done, NWSL just raised the minimum wage to 48.500 dollar and will further increase to 82.500 by 2030. Compare this to liga F that has a minimum wage of 22.500 euro and with several clubs struggling and even postponing to pay the player wages. Even Barcelona and Real Madrid will not be...

    Camp Nou

    It is not that bad to be honest, remember the pitch used to be larger, 4 meters wider and 3 meters longer. The pitch sits closer to the main stand, 7,5 meters compared to 11 meters on the oposing side. behind the goals the distance is 10 meters. I don´t agree there are no other non athletic...

    Joan Laporta

    They are delutional, silly season has been a joke, all the while Real Madrid has brought in a new manager, replaced the people responsible for designating the referees and destroyed any competitiveness there was in the league with the help of Tebas. Real Madrid will finish la liga with 95-105...

    Camp Nou

    It is true that the whole project has beeen poorly managed and that a big part of the responsability falls on Laporta, but it is also true that Limak isn't exactly executing this contract on a supersonic cadence. The steelstructure for the third tier has been under construction for ages now...
