    9 - Samuel Eto'o

    He is hot headed. It is good in some aspects, bad in others. In 2005 and 2006 when Ronnie and Etoo were our two best players and both were in top 5 in the world, there were a lot of articles in El Mundo Deportivo and Sport where Etoo was mad at Ronaldinho and he was giving comments like: "If my...

    Pep Guardiola

    Won in a round of 16, I have excluded round of 16 because in lots of years teams get weak opponents in the round of 16. Btw, later in 2020, after winning against RM, City with the most expensive squad in the world lost 3:1 to Lyon led by mighty Depay, Toko Ekambi, Cornet and Dubois.

    Pep Guardiola

    If an African curse if forcing him to buy yes-men who crumble under pressure and playing with 6 attacking midfielders and zero Fcs and wingers, then yes, it's a curse ;)

    Pep Guardiola

    I am writing the same post for 5-6 years in a row, let's do it again. Pep's style is the best style in the world for league matches. Remember, in a league, you don't play against equals but against weaker teams. In La Liga, the champion is not the one who wins in El Classico but the one who...

    Haaland or Complete Squad Overhaul?

    I haven't read all the posts. Both options have Pros and Cons. About overhaul of the whole squad, imo: 1. historically since 2000', only 30-ish % (or 1 out of 3) Barca's signings were a success. I would say that lately, in the last 5 years, with the rise of EPL and Qatari funded clubs, the...

    Josko Gvardiol

    I never feel safe when he plays as a defender for Croatia. Game losing brainfart is always around a corner.

    Bayern München

    I am not comparing this to Barca. I am comparing Bayern to Bayern. In the late 90s and early 2000s, Real was the best team. Since I was a Barca fan, I had to cheer for every single of Real's opponents in the hope that they won't win. And back then: If Real played vs Barca, they would win 2:0 in...

    Bayern München

    I am not saying that Barca's or RM's model isn't the best. But it is the best for THEM. Even though I would like more physical Barca, it seems (as seen under Xavi) that we play the best in a good, old Barca's way. On the other hand, I don't think that Barca's way or Spanish way suits Bayern...

    Bayern München

    I was always an admirer of Bayern, and this Bayern in the last few years (bar Lewa) sucks completely. I loved German's physique, German's mental strength, German's being ruthless. The current Bayern is like some soft version of Bayern's skills from 10 or 20 years ago. In 2001, they had CM...

    Xavi Hernández

    More or less, this is the first season since 2011 where the team isn't worse than in the season before, longterm wise. The only short good period was 2015. And EV's first season, results wise. Everything else since 2011 was a downfall, till now. I didn't have faith in Xavi, but he turned the...

    Marco Verratti

    I also don't get that Verratti praise. He was always a good player, but imo, overrated by our fans because he plays "our style of football". The same as how Arthur was insanely overrated in the early years because he looked like someone who could play in a Pep's team. About Verratti on a club...

    Luka Modrić

    Played at Dinamo Zagreb till the age of 23 and for Tottenham till the age of 27. And has 4 CLs in 9 full seasons with RM till now, with being one of key players in each CL win. Imo, Xavi is no1. Iniesta are Modric are on a similar level when you look at the whole career. Iniesta was a non...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    It was a simple and logical bet from me. 1. Messi never looked like a gym-freak who will be able to run in late 30s like Cr7 or Zlatan. I am surprised that he even lasted this long. 2. mentality wise, he was again weaker than guys who managed to play in the late 30s like Cr7 or Zlatan. 3. his...

    7 - Ferran Torres

    One of my posts from December, before he even played for us. You can also check the reviews from Man City fans in this post. They weren't wrong:

    Henry, Stoichkov, Pedro had seasons with around 25 goals for Barca.

    7 - Ferran Torres

    I don't know. I remember in 2003, I was watching that famous friendly match between Sporting and Man Utd when 18 year old Ronaldo was making fools out of Man Utd (it looked way more impressve live than on highlights videos) when Man Utd players begged Sir Alex on a flight home to sign that kid...
