    Arsenal

    It's impessive how you can wank over Ronaldo without even mentioning his name :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

    Champions League 2024-25

    They will be even more angry given their massive collapse in 99 final in Barca's stadium 9admittedly against a club I despise).

    Arsenal

    Probably because London based.

    Champions League 2024-25

    Bayern and their fans will be absolutely fucking raging if Barca equal their number of CLs in their city and stadium.

    Manchester United

    He's not even good on the ball - as I said above, he is fine with short passes but anything mid-range or over 30 yards goes out the park or to the opposition. Some people seem to think (don't mean you here) that if a keeper is a poor shot stopper, he must be good on the ball as compensation...

    Xavi or Flick?

    Obviously that's a bad video for Xavi and Barca, but still good football by Shakhtar. What a pass at 1.14 too - driven diagonal switch of play right between two Barca players to up the tempo.

    Mohamed Salah

    Juve are bigger within Italy, Milan bigger internationally.

    Manchester United

    Fake but funny nevertheless.

    Manchester United

    It is amazing that he went there. He looks a good coach and he must have known that this would destroy his reputation, as it has others. I guess money talks though.

    Joan Laporta

    Very true. With the well-known phenomenon of most legendary coaches being average or simply good players and top players failing often as coaches (Cruyff one of the exceptions, I don't really consider Zidane a great coach), I wonder if there truly is something in these guys not 'getting' people...

    Joan Laporta

    Yeah personality, mentality etc. They all sound in some ways like pseudo-psychology or 'vibes'. but they really do make a big difference. The intangibles of football cannot be measured in stats. Look at Messi. He's the most talented player ever (alongside Maradona). But his desire to be the...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Some good points there (your more serious ones), but would never really happen as they'd change the game too much. I think some would help, though. How do you feel about stop clocks and sin bins? Too Americanised? I like the idea of the former to stop time wasting, but wouldn't work from a TV...

    Joan Laporta

    That's a great point - it's not just about the knowledge of the game, it is about temperament and keeping emotions in check. It did seem during his tenure that he was buckling under the weight of the pressure. Agree that Pep and Enrique seem much more ruthless in general. True, the emotional...

    Joan Laporta

    I am not slagging Xavi, just saying thought he'd be an amazing coach and so far it didn't work out that way. Even if he did do his part.

    Kylian Muppet

    Mbappe is very talented but not as talented as Neymar for me, nowhere near. But yeah, Neymar could and should have achieved a lot more.

    Joan Laporta

    You'd think with Xavi's immense football brain, spatial awareness, and understanding of the game tactically as a player he would be an awesome coach. But it hasn't worked out that way. Goes to show there's a lot more to being a great manager or coach than an extremely high and intuitive...

    Hugo Ekitike

    Wow, that's amazing.

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    I heard that too. I don't know if it was finasteride maybe. He developed something called myopathy too, not sure if linked. He always had a rather fat face and round build though, even when he had awesome hair. He will always be remembered for scoring the winning goal in a World Cup Final at...

    Hans-Dieter Flick

    Yeah agree. But he had a lot of ability that he just never fulfilled. And as I say, he had health problems etc. But yes, not at level of Lewy, Gundo and Reus. Or close.
