    Ronald Koeman

    If only we had a world class manager. Surely this world class manager would be able to do so much with this team after 2 full transfer windows of only adding Depay and Dest(who is a pretty unproven youngster himself). While also losing out on Messi, Suarez( was right to move him out but he...

    Lionel "The Greatest of All Time" Messi

    Messi has played something like 2 games with a new team and fans are already writing him off. Hilarious. Can take a dozen or so games to build a decent level of chemistry with new teammates.

    Ernesto Valverde

    If Messi avoids criticism of Barcelona's failures over the past few years due to terrible player recruitment decisions by the board, then Valverde should get that same treatment. He could've squeezed more juice if he got some quality signings and wasn't saddled with the likes of Dembele...

    24 - Eric García

    Harder to obtain them unless you have an exceptional scouting staff. Those type of CBs are expensive and Barca have multiple areas where they need to rebuild. That will be expensive.

    CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Bayern Munchen 0-3

    Totally speculating on the clubhouse culture, but certainly veterans like Pique, Busquets, and Alba would surely influence that. They are the captains and leaders, and other players are going to follow their lead on the approach to team workouts. A guy like Pique says a lot of the right things...

    24 - Eric García

    Barca will continue to sign CBs like him because the overall direction of the club is to prefer to play a possession heavy style and that includes building from the back. Wanting a technical CB means you're sacrificing some physical traits. Very difficult to find one who is world class in all...

    Sergio Busquets

    Koeman needs to rip off this shitty bandaid and prepare this team to play in the future without a DM of Busi's profile. He is a burden on the team in his current state and whatever few positives he brought aren't likely to be found in his eventual successor.

    3 - Alejandro Balde

    Solid cameo but it was late in the game against an opponent who knew they had the game in the bag. But hopefully he gets some starts in league games.

    Ronald Koeman

    Laporta won't fire him after tonight's showing. The team is so far off from competing for a CL that a manager change won't make much of a difference. Koeman is a nice scapegoat for Laporta til he bides his time to improve club finances and the on-field quality of the team. The second that he...

    4 - Ronald McDonald Araújo

    Good that the ref didn't call pens against him. Nice to see a bit of clean physical play, but I could see other refs calling those as pens. A bit similar to the penalty he gave away against Ronaldo last season.

    CL | Round 1: FC Barcelona - Bayern Munchen 0-3

    Going to have to look forward to snarky comments by Bayern players/management on how playing Barca at Camp Nou was a walk-in-the-park training session for them.

    Ronald Koeman

    Its important for Koeman to send out a message to the dressing room that the manager is the one in charge of making team selections. If a player is unhappy and complains to the board about playing time, tough luck because Koeman doesn't give a crap about who the board would like to see getting...

    Ronald Koeman

    Koeman doesn't need to toot his own horn. He is a legend who's made his mark and his legacy is secure. Koeman isn't taking shit from anyone and has made that clear to the president. Laporta should stop with his PR scripted answers while leaking the opposite to the media. Koeman didn't like his...

    Ronald Koeman

    Good job by Koeman to keep Laporta accountable. Laporta has engaged in nasty politics and intentionally leaked news to the media about Koeman's future. Good to see a Barca manager standing up for himself and having a spine.

    Neymar vs Ronaldinho

    Better peak for Ronnie. Outside their 2 best seasons, Neymar has been the better player.

    USA

    An away draw against those filthy, overrated Americans. I'll take it. Can't wait for the meltdown from their delusional media and fans.

    Sergio Busquets

    Frenkie was a quality addition to the midfield regardless. Needed to replace oldies like Rakitic and Vidal. Of course, there are some critics who think FDJ isn't worth the price and wages paid, but he is a world class midfielder.

    Sergio Busquets

    Part of it is that his internal replacements have failed. Sergi Samper and to a lesser extent, Oriol Busquets, were all considered his successors, but they both flopped. Of course, Barca could have tried to get a replacement through the transfer market, but Barto things.

    Kylian Muppet

    Nasser did not sell the rights to ESPN for 1.4 billion. La Liga bought back the last 3 years of the tv contract from Bein sports, but AFAIK the dollar amount was never disclosed.

    Cr150

    Very peculiar positioning of the right hand by Ronaldo.
