Its going to be spicy for sure. Doubt board that paid hookers to Neymar father as part of transfer deal and who's president ended up in jail for financial shenenigans doesn't have everything written in contract exactly as MD is saying. What I wonder is, why did rato even agree to such contract...

Im sure Messi will stay now that Pjanic and Wijnaldum are coming. We are 30+ club over here lol

Thats because : a) KDB didn't give MC 20 years of his life, 15 in professional football to MC b) Didn't score 650 goals and won 35 trophies at his time there c) KDB isn't 33, with 2-3 years left to his career (at most) d) Has no where near legendary status as Messi, who is literal demi god here

In the end I can see it going that way. Barto was looking like mad man who wanted to keep Messi, but Messi just wanted to go so he had to back down. Just wondering if amigotards are still here or did they change their theory?

I dunno, other fanbase (RM) sees Messi as absolute cheat code in La Liga, because in CL there will be times when Messi will be guarded by 2-3 players from top team, carefully following game plan they set. In la Liga things are more "casual" as in, you have 38 matches and if one guy guarantees...

CL is where differences are very small, and you can get KOd very easily, like we have been in 2016 and 2019, both times were our path to final was practically "safe" and we were main favorites. Winning these two suddenly changes entire thing, and against Liverpool, had we gone to win it, people...

I am agreeing Ronaldo has been better since they won first CL with Real, but I also think their entire squad was better in CL + coach. I also think their board outperformed ours with transfer dealings, coach hiring (Zidane 3xUCLs) and just general way of doing business, hence making it easier...

Sporting aspect as in : they have good, young project with great coach. I don't think they will be winning next CL for sure, but 1-2 good additions to the squad and they are all but winning double 100%, and you would still say they would be one of favorites for CL. On the other hand we are...

Legacy similar to this years? He scores 25 assists 21 in 28 starts, we lose La Liga and our own fanbase tells him he is at fault as much as the next guy. Yea, sure...

I agree. RM has had slight edge in Ronaldo + team + coach in CL, and absolutely massive in terms of actually doing business and financial aspects which board is responsible for.

You are purposely ignoring the fact that I said thriving in sporting and financial aspect, compared to us. I see gap of around 6pts with Messi, 15 without him. Where I see a gap is in fact that we will be broke, with worse and older squad, while RM is perhaps missing 1-2 ingredients to be one...

Thriving in sporting and financial sense, they are in extremely good position. Made money of the transfers, have better and younger team with now legendary coach + are loaded with cash. They won La Liga and are favorites for next one as are for Copa. CL, probably much better chances then us...

I think there is kind of a middle ground here. For example, 2015 was spectacular from Messi, as was 2019, but you would come back to these years again and look at stats and say "eh, not that good". Messi vs Liverpool first leg was amazing, should have been 5-1 and straight final, yet everyone...

Might be the case, but Messi knockout phase in 2015 was better then anything I've seen from any other player till date, yet he didn't exactly score as many as you would have thought.

I agree, same as how RM has been much better run club financially and sporting wise in last 5 years. In fact, Barca is almost being ran to the ground while RM is thriving, but some folks will give every excuse under the sun that this is not boards fault but the gap between RM and Barca is big...

As long as his attacking output is similar to one in Barca (and it will be higher no doubt), then no, he won't be turned on to by their fans. If their defense is bad thats where they will turn on to, and not Messi (like we are not blaming Messi for La Liga loss). We have 0 chance. How are they...

Imagine that being tragic case scenario, when its quite literally 100% guaranteed to happen in Barca for at least next 2-3 years. And then people wonder why he wants to spend his last few years and try to win something.

But for 5 years. I get that he gets more in City deal (if he goes to NY) but its not 3x. Its 750M for 5 years vs 300M for 3 years in Barcelona. Deal is definitely more lucrative, but he literally doesn't want to stay in this Barcelona team (neither would I, especially after Barto has acted the...

Isn't that for 2+3 years? In this case, it would be 300M gross if he remained in Barca for next 3 seasons?

Aha, so from "Leo will be free to go before his last season because he is such a legend" to "We won't be picking up a phone, but here is extra 2 year deal for 100M a year". Jesus we are fucked, so fucked. Who knows how much COVID rocked us. I see RM are in surplus with their transfers this...
