    Champions League 2022/2023

    Not supporting Xavi ≠ Supporting Madrid. If you want Madrid to win you're a fan!

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Their recent results have been worse than they deserved. They outcreate their opponents in most games and have a very strong defense. Additionally they played Dortmund off the park both legs... They are a much better team than their standings represent. It is down to Potter - if he takes Vini...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Chelsea are not an easy game. Knocked Madrid out couple years ago and then fought them tooth and nail the next, probably deserving to go through and outplaying you at home. Will be tight.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Madrid apparently 'lucky' to be facing winner of City Bayern next whilst other side of the bracket is Benfica/Inter/Milan/Napoli. Lol. They got a bad draw and will be knocked out.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Signing the discards of other top clubs is rarely a good move. If another top club with high level analytics, coaching staff, managers etc have looked at Ferran, for example, and decided they want to move him on after 18 months, being a young player, it should never be a good sign. There are...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Literally the opposite. I said 'there is no more Ronaldinhos in football'. Dembele would not be one of the best players in the world in a past era. But the talent is worse now and he is.

    Does messi have intensions of coming back?

    Ideally neither of them are part of the project next year and we continue to add intensity and youth to the team. Lewandowski physically is struggling in this high press setup and hasn't got young legs to press like these others. Messi would be more of the same and likely not do any off-ball work.

    Does messi have intensions of coming back?

    The reasoning seems solid but then they are calculating salaries that are totally obscenely valued vs the actual player. They put Alves at like 5m or something when he was no better than Liga mid table quality. Plus, taking the salary from the past club (PSG) who have much less lax FP rules in...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Well, the other thing is the attacking talent in football generally is nowhere near what it used to be. Flair is getting trained out of players and its a lot more mechanical these days, no more Messis, Neymars, Luisitos, Ronaldinhos... It is a real situation that Dembele is one of the best...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Its so predictable - once people cannot find any angle to bash him in terms of football anymore, they will start trying to pretend like they were talking about injuries all along and morph their criticism into that. He is injury prone, it's true. Much less so with Xavi though and in the end...

    Europa League

    Arteta probably glad about that one. They are just going all in for this title, they are not a big club, that is huge for them.

    Liga Round 26: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-1

    After 3 or 4 times like this I think Carlo must have realised by now that he needs to change something tactically to make space for Vini (and subsequently Benzema). No way he'll keep rolling a loaded dice (Vini vs Araujo) and hoping it works this time with the league at stake.

    Liga Round 26: FC Barcelona - Real Madrid 2-1

    Hunch tells me Madrid win. 3 or 4 wins out of last 5 for Barca is too much. If they lose this league is over. Thus we should expect their best effort.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    We've stopped valuing Europe as a club. The management don't think it is important to beat the best anymore and will be satisfied if we win LaLiga most of the time regardless of how we do in Europe. Xavi saying the fact we managed to 'compete' in CL groups and EL 32 was impressive put the...

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Napoli one of the best teams in the world this season playing with many guys who were virtual unknowns until recently. Lesson for our fans who think that this squad isn't good enough to go past CL groups and EL32.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Madrid is poor. This Liverpool team suck and miles off City and Arsenal, they really shouldn't even be giving Madrid a game.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Liverpool don't look much worse than Madrid. Madrid suck. Only difference between them is Madrid have game changers in attack that make something out of nothing. If Liverpool were not idiots in the first leg probably would've gone through today.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Liverpool had the tie when they were up 2-0, if they had just sat back from there and protected their lead they would have a very high chance to go through today. Klopp kept them pressing and running like dogs though and here we are.

    Champions League 2022/2023

    Real suck. They are not 9 points behind in a weak LaLiga for no reason. Their advantage is the European teams still haven't figured out that they are easily beatable if you don't give them space on transitions/counters. Unfortunately, Liverpool is a team totally geared on pressing and end to...
