    Spanish SuperCopa: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona (5-1)

    Unfortunately not bc a) u have just tourists around you that are rhere on vacation and b) wanted to catch the bus (did not manage though). It's pretty obvious that we a left winger, just remember, when is the last time we didn't have a good name up there? Henry, David Villa, Neymar etc. Delofeu...

    Spanish SuperCopa: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona (5-1)

    So i just walked back from the Camp Nou, it took me ages. Some impressions: wow the amount of tourists in the stadium is incredible, the reason why people were kinda cheering for Madrid player's good passess/dribblings too. Well it's August and most Barceloneses are probably on vacation...

    Gerard Piqué

    There is an article on Mundo Deportivo where he seems to be quite open about all the stuff.

    UEFA Super Cup 2017 Real Madrid vs Manchester United

    Impressive RM today, especially first half and parts of second half. They have a very large squad with quality players coming in and Isco playing his key role again.

    11 - Ousmane Dembélé - V1

    City and PSG have their parts but it's competition at the top. 10-15 years ago you didn't have as many super rich clubs as you have now. It's economics more than two or three teams that are to blame. RM has a track record for signing record fee players and as far as I remember, we signed...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    It's actually pretty normal in football, even manager games include this in their algorithms. They are all professionals but it's important that these players feel good where they are, meaning having a good social network, their families and kids taken care of. It's not being a manchild, it's...

    Arda Turan

    He probably joins the national team again as the coach has changed. I think he'd earn more in Turkey, especially after taxes.

    Arda Turan

    Not to defend him but I haven't seen any attempt to sell him, or did the board tell him he should look for a club? So why would it be robbing, the club made a decision buying him and they agreed on a salary.

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    The other long post shows the kind of irony of Neymar's European saga. Rosell signed him with all the tricks you can imagine, Qatar Foundation and Airways sponsored this team for years, Rosell has to resign, Neymar goes to Qatar's PSG in 2017.

    Barca Transfers and Rumors

    Instead of looking for the best possible Neymar replacement (which is not possible anyway), it's probably wiser to have a solid player on the left. Then management can focus on a better player within the season and sign him next season.

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    I just partly agree. There are other popular sports (e.g., North American ones), don't know if their fans are as dillusional as football fans. Yeah, I think Neymar either goes to the EPL or even Real Madrid, would expect it from him. As for the blow, yeah it is a serious one. Maybe...

    Arda Turan

    I think it helps to understand Arda's goals. He is a very publicity seeking person and he was always quick to open his mouth for the Turkish media on any topic, even when he started to play in the Primera Division. I think as a player, he improved in tactical ability etc. at AM. His ultimate...

    Neymar Jr. - v5

    It always baffles me how football fans react if a player leaves for another club at the one side (quick to call them mercenaries or money lovers, some even go so far as "brazilians are only interested in money") but always calling for new transfers every season and mid-season. The amount of...

    Moving to Barcelona, grateful for any advice

    Thanks for your help. I might rent a room for a couple of days/weeks to go for the apartment hunt. I think there's a tradeoff between stressfully looking for apartments and finding the right place and overpaying via platforms, such as spotahome.com (or similar) and having "less trouble". The...

    Hey Alik, Thanks for this, sounds great to me. Yeah, the apartment situation is always an issue when moving to another city/country.

    Moving to Barcelona, grateful for any advice

    Cesc Fàbregas

    That's what I was saying in my initial post. By the way, he is a professional footballer and he even went to Chelsea to play for Mourinho, hope that rings a bell somehow?!

    Cesc Fàbregas

    I just wouldn't get why he would diss them. You think they didn't go along with each other?

    Pep Guardiola

    One of his marks on the players is their pressing, e.g. Barca's pressing was not only superb because of the positioning they had but also because they wanted to get the ball back as quickly as possible. Especially when the opponent turns away from you he won't see you and this makes it possible...
