    21 - Frenkie de Jong

    Nah. This club supports it's former players a lot, even if they are not true legends of the club. Coaching, SD, agents etc, we like to build a network around those in various capacities. Being a former player on a good term is important. A legacy here isn't about being a legend or historical...

    Gareth Bale

    Nah, that is the Barca fan in you. CR7 was a worthy rival of Messi, a real rival. For me if you underrate him like this you actually underrate Messi because CR7 was a big part of the story (and anyone who thinks Messi didn't see him as rival is delusional btw). Messi won the rivalry in an...

    Gareth Bale

    Messi and CR7 has separated themselves from the rest of their generations tbh, I doubt any of them would really say that. Even the Neymar/Suarez or Lewa of the world knows that they can't compete with them

    Nico Williams

    He is one of those who says too much but it hits from time to time. So you can't dismiss news from him as pure bs, but can't consider him reliable

    Vitor Roque

    Man, why do I feel like you are a classic ageist? You only complain about older players, and when they leave it is the next older player. Players aren't going to retire at 32 mate.

    Vitor Roque

    Honestly, what is the big fuss? He asked for a deserved penalty to be called in the heat of the game. If anything it shows competitiveness. He had every right to do it, he is a Betis player in this game and should act like one. When else did he act like Vini? He was playing like his usual...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I think this is an element that few would complain about. But Serghei said control in opposite to direct and risky way to attack that Flick added, so I doubt that's what he wants

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    How do you define controled? The team average the highest possession per game in Liga since 19/20 season, so surely not controling the ball. You want a safer approach and lesser risks? But that's what made us a consistently declining team for the past decade. Football now is about quickness...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He needs to adapt to his team, rather than the league. We can't make the league identifies who we are, that was our problem in the past. You yourself talk about how Pep with "Barca DNA" dominated EPL. Flick gamestyle needed attacking fullbacks, currently we have none. The suicidal attacking...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    He has improved in the air, but it us a team effort. This isn't a complaint about Cubarsi but about the entire defense lacking the towering presence and aerial threat.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    How about all of those? Teams has figured ways to slow us down, something that Liga has experience doing since the Messi & CR7 era. Weren't liga consistently the slowest league in top 5 leagues and one with least actual minutes played? Fatigue is real due to lack of depth. We have no bench...

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Mingueza is a no brainer tbh, unless there is some hidden gem that our scouts know about he fits our needs and budget

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Lost the ball 11 times yesterday, succeeded in 1 out if 5 dribbles. He killed our left side yesterday.

    La Liga Round 17: Betis - Barca 2-2

    Torres is a bust, but he is still the best backup attacker we have. Sad story

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    He destroyed almost every attack he got.

    Iñigo Martínez

    Gradually, he is going back to his last season form. Maybe it is fatigue or something, but he is caught out of position several times every game.

    Vitor Roque

    Decent game today, though it isn't like he faced a good defence

    DLF has been cooling on Barca players tbf, he will use them in decisive games for sure, but let's be honest it isn't that much of a big deal in comparison to SA travel. It depends on how Brazil do tnf, every game before September is against a team that is currently ahead of them in the table...

    Only Raphinha and Araujo (atm) are playing outside of Europe. FIFA virus affects all clubs, and when it isn't a National league, we have the advantage of smaller travels for most of our players.

    2025-26

    We are going to Asia indeed, but it is either that or USA for almost every club now, and half the team usually don't play until midway in the preseason. It will be World Cup and ACN season btw, with the later being midseason.
