    Mikayil Faye

    4th league game for Habib Baye (who is from Senegal btw) as a coach, Faye isn't even on the bench, only played 24 minutes. He should have been loaned in the winter, that is just a waste.

    Griezmann vs Hazard

    That is a tough one, both were amazing but never the best, and both got underrated. With an exception of few seasons, their primes were mostly on different times despite being ss old as each other, mainly because Griezmann was a late bloomer, while Hazard career ended early. I would take...

    Champions League 2024-25

    Injuries and choking are our biggest opponents now. 5 full seasons without a Semi-final appearance, 8 full seasons being on the receiving end of at least one 3+ goal spanking. Now, we have the absolute upper hand against oppositions to the semis, and probably favourite to reach the finals from...

    Champions League 2024-25

    If Liverpool had a draw against PSV, the later would have been the one in their way (or Brest) rather than PSG. Resting players in their last game is the reason they are facing PSG, they did it to themselves.

    Champions League 2024-25

    PSG feels like a team that is built to beat us. Versatile, athletics attack, press resistant and creative midfield. Real lacked midfield, for example, and we used that in our favour.

    Pep Guardiola

    "Could only dream is a strong statement tbh. Liverpool was in CL final 8 years before his arrival, a champion a decade before his arrival. European success was always on the table with a good coach, they weren't some small club, clubs like this suffer from crisis but once they rebuild they come...

    Pep Guardiola

    He surely earned a transition year, probably even a chance of a long rebuild period too that could last few years. But I am not sure about the approach tbh. Khus, Reis and Bah are 3 major signings that plays CB, a clear indication that Pep is doubling down on defensive fullbacks, essentially...

    Vitor Roque

    Giving them percentage of Abde sale is good deal anyway. He isn't going to be sold for much profit considering he lost his starting place for a homegrown player.

    La Liga Round 25: Las Palmas - Barca 0-2

    Something new, like Frenkie and Gavi

    Champions League 2024-25

    Honestly, I think Xavi needed this gap year. He needs to analyse his shortcomings and how this team has improved after he left. There is a lot of untapped potential in his coaching career, but he needs to be willing to do some watch and learn

    They were absolute garbage against Leverkusen too.

    Hector Fort (loaned to Elche)

    That backheel was the good highlight from him. But he had bad game and was targeted by Rayo most of the game. I don't get the plan with him so far. He isn't good enough for the backup role atm, and isn't getting minutes to develop. Even if he makes it I think it will take few years. Backup RB...

    2 years, he renewed while spreading his salary.

    20 - Dani Olmo

    He is a joy to watch when he plays tbh

    25 - Wojciech Szczęsny

    Great performance today

    Andrés Iniesta

    If we are talking about peak, they didn't even watch Messi's peak in a real comprehensive way (2010-2012). Hell, Lamine was 7 during MSN treble, I doubt he remember anything past the goals and wow moments from MSN. Football and sports are young men's professions. If you last long enough you...

    Andrés Iniesta

    Older players aren't that big for most kids who didn't witness their glory, with very few exceptions, Messi and CR7 are the ones that will be known names for every kid born from generations alpha and beta or whatever their names are. The likes of Iniesta will be always known for those who...

    Benjamin Šeško

    tbf, Manu are in austerity right now and Amorim himself said they will need to sell in order to buy. Gyökeres might be overpriced for them, as crazy as it sounds. And after ETH, it might be smart to tell the coach they won't sign his former players anymore.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    1:1 is a term that doesn't reflect financial situation, rather than compliance to the rules. I am more interested in La Liga released salary cap, the biannual reports. Last published one was in September, had us around 426M which is 2nd in La Liga but far behind Real Madrid with over 300M. We...

    La Liga 24/25

    Yup, he is good for a club like Osasuna, might be worth a loan if you don't have funds. But not worth buying
