    Ivan Rakitić

    Not back to back leads, but losing 3+ goal difference in general. The fact that we were leading, is what made it it eschetically worse for EV, and why fans hate him. Because hopes were high and we thought we had it before being crushed. In other defeats, we were crushed early on, except last...

    Ivan Rakitić

    What is sad is that this was the original goal when he arrived. To build around a new generation with MATS, Umtiti, Neymar and Verratti while gradually phasing out old legs. With hope that some bad buys that R. Fernandez has done to work under him. Like Paco, Gomez, Denis Suarez etc After...

    Ivan Rakitić

    You can't take blame from coach for 3-0 goals, sure. But denying him credit of winning back 2 back leagues, when we lost the league before an after him, is equally bad if not worse and shows inconsistency in your logic. Also, Barca has lost with at least 3 goals difference in CL in each of the...

    tbf, when I see players with Achillis injury heals fully in the NBA, or even someone like Klay coming back from achilis then ACL, I would say medical advancement in the past decade is real. Although, it feels like Europe is a step behind.

    22 - Marc Bernal

    That is actually worse, losing a step means you are becoming slow player at the age of 18, in an era were being fairly athletic is necessity. With that said, ACL shouldn't guarantee losing pace even with meniscus involved. There is a chance he returns with the same physical profile.

    LaLiga 2

    Seems like Yeremy Hernandez is having a very good start in Segunda

    Vitor Roque

    Saw it on reddit. Comments tell different story though. Apparently pitch was awful and it was apparent in the game. He scored twice too (although some sites credit last goal as OG)

    Nations League 24/25

    That should be the essence of it, but gradually you are having coaches taking it seriously which is counterintuitive. As @Porque mentioned, players who are called up don't play now, and it is becoming more of a burden on top players. Again, because some of those would have normally played...

    Nations League 24/25

    It is friendly games replacement. It should be about rotations and trying new players. It isn't above golden cup, never mind Copa

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    Can he dribble? Yesterday he looked like he can't beat his man at all, that dribbling is more about having a ball retention ability.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    It isn't fine, and in Spain we even don't have that power. Players can be suspended indefinitely.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    Clubs are weaker than FIFA, SL was already a testimonial of that and they know it now. It will not be scrapped, we have to be realistic. But, getting to old system and correcting a mistake is doable. Coaches loved to rotate in friendlies, but not in tournaments. So get back to friendlies.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    National league being taken seriously is a problem. It was supposed to be a replacement of friendlies, when teams used to use 20 players in the same game. Now, taking it seriously costs clubs more

    FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

    This has randomly popped in my X https://x.com/mo07o07/status/1831622017310740843 If translation doesn't work: 1-Diouf hasn't signed for Metz, but his club agreed the deal. This is a grey area and it seems like it is going to be legal fight. The player got ACL, his club forced him to play...

    11 - Raphinha

    It is nothing tbh. Ter Stegen is GK, so him running half the pitch to speak to referee doesn't make sense. The vice captains are Araujo, Frenkie and Raphinha in that order. With Araujo and Frenkie out, Raphinha is now 2nd captain and the first one in outfield players.

    Nico Williams

    Yeah, Wirtz is awesome but he is SS. Maybe Musiala if he doesn't renew and we have funds. As he is more natural as LW who attacks the middle. But we could be targeting a CF or CDM, and delay LW for another year.

    Frenkie de Jong

    2 of them actually. One was another ancient guy, and after his retirement we work with his heir. But mostly for muscle injuries, mainly hamstring.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    What do you all think of Hugo Larsson? City seems to closely follow him,he was AM converted into CDM, he is just 20 and built like a tank while being fairly athletic. His numbers are weird though, he seems like a great defensive players but his passing numbers are underwhelming to say at...

    Nico Williams

    He is still in summer hangover tbh. He just won CDR with Bilbao (their first major trophy in 40 years) and a Euro with Spain at the age of 22. He will return better. Obviously, you never commit yourself to a player (or vice versa) for a whole year. We will see how it goes and move on from there.
