    Champions League 23/24

    It is kind sad for us watching RM young players. They have done great job developing them, step by step, rather than throwing them to the sharks and asking them to swim. What could have been with Fati, Pedri man

    İlkay Gündoğan

    The different styles is the key. Xavi was a one team player, outside of NT he didn't expose himself to different styles. Alonso is like Gundogan, he has tried different styles, Pep, Klopp, Tuchel, even Xavi are way different than each other.

    Vitor Roque

    R9 is arguably the greatest talent football has ever seen. A mix between Messi and CR7 if there was ever been one. Why he is even an example here ffs.

    FC Barcelona Finances

    There is a bonus from sponsorship deals for doing better in CL. You play in CL SF = more exposure for sponsers. It isn't just prize money and home tickets money.

    Luis Enrique

    Lucho knew our weaknesses and his own team, and tried to expose ours while covering the ones he has. Luck was on his side, but he did a very good job too.

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Pause around 38 or 39 seconds: This was a recurring situation during the two games. PSG has pressed our left side and pushed us to build from the right defensive area. i.e Araujo and Kounde, both are underwhelming at best and Araujo is known to be our worst player on the ball. The left side and...

    Frenkie de Jong

    He is another one of "he is the best of what we have", because this teams lacks depth and quality in general. The difference is that for the 2 interiors we have 5 players (Frenkie/Pedri/Gavi/Gundo/Fermin) and we can afford to downgrade with a sale. He isn't a top player though, never was and...

    He is really missed in games like this

    İlkay Gündoğan

    I hope he is learning Spanish, because he is a guy who has all the marks of a future great manager.

    Frenkie de Jong

    Before the red card, he failed to provide an outlet for passing for the defenders, essentially giving up for PSG pressing. He also killed many counter attacks by hogging the ball. Ball carrying is supposed to be his biggest strength, and he fails to do so in top games and high press, and barely...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    The problem is Araujo is an essential player to the team because he is the only physical specimen we have in the entire defensive line. He is our best defender bar none. A player like that should be told, and educated about his importance to the team, and realising he isn't the guy to "take a...

    CL Quarter Final: Barca - PSG 1-4

    Raphinha will need to be the guy again, he is the only one in the team who knows how to expose those spaces they use. Hope Lamine will up his game, although it might be too much too ask from him.

    CL Quarter Final: Barca - PSG 1-4

    Kang Lee not starting is good news, otherwise PSG fielding a solid starting line up.

    Liverpool

    Liverpool biggest challenge will be altering their expectations. Fans are usually discontent when a legendary coach leaves and no immediate super resilts happen. Barca fans hated everyone after Pep, Bayern fans hated coaches after Heynckes, then everyone after Flick, Benitez and Lopetgei...

    Javier Tebas (LFP President)

    I think this was old, a month ago or around that.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    I would take him, but honestly I think of him as more of a b2b, Ugochukwu might work, Lavia would be ideal.

    Javier Tebas (LFP President)

    To my knowledge Liga has no point deduction or relegation penalty. Their penalty is financial, you decrease sslary cap every year. We had a 100M negative salary cal when we pulled the levers and we had absolutely no threat of losing points.

    Mikayil Faye

    He isn't in CL squad. There are 2 CL squads, first team and 8 youth players, the later need to be in the club for 2 full years. So Faye was only eligible for first team squad. We didn't do that.
