Really looking forward to this. Wish they’d have shorter and less frequent international breaks. After the weekend, there won’t be any league football for 14 days.

I like Ferran T. too when Oscar’s tactics are on point 😜

I don't care what anyone says. this kid is a baller. We're so lucky to have such amazing young players.

That is not the kind of pressure being discussed. Former managers have always had “a shit ton” of pressure to win AND play attractive football. Xavi hasn’t been expected to play attractive football, and he’s been cut a lot of slack for our underwhelming results in the CL and the EL. This with...

This is spot on. Xavi commands respect from his squad, which goes a long way in ensuring that he keeps the locker room motivated, and believing in him as a manager. Same can be said for Zidane, who commanded so much respect that he carried his team to 3 CL titles, which is actually quite...

I see that I got the attention of Xavi’s fan club. :lol:

Tier 1: Klopp, Pep Tier 2: Emery, Nagelsmann, Howe, Arteta Tier 3: Koeman Tier 4: Xavi, Lampard Xavi isn’t a natural tactician. He can become one with experience, but he made a mistake in assuming too much responsibility early on. He should have worked his way up… like Arteta did (who now has a...

He’d park them on the touchline 🤣

agreed. I’m enjoying this game.

:lol:

Could also be Yamal or Felix in midfield tho?

Whatever the formation, it’s still more attack minded (vs a midfield 4). Like the idea of us being more of a threat down the middle instead of us always passing out to the wings.

I’m guessing Xavi received orders from up above to play 4-3-3 after last season’s boring haram ball. :lol: Honestly this is the kind of line up I like to see. Attack minded. Gutsy.

I like it. Makes a lot of sense having Raphinha as an AM.

Did Negreira pay taxes on the amount received?

And the league. :lol:

Worst case scenario seems to be demotion, thus resulting in a CL disqualification.

And is there any concrete evidence of this?

In order for the bribery charge to stick in Spain, must the prosecutor prove what Barcelona received in return for the bribe? Or is it enough to merely prove that Barcelona is guilty of giving money to an official? It just seems so reckless to pay an official, leaving an indirect digital trail...

I would say that it is more subtle bias in favor of Real Madrid that is insinuated when criticism is directed at La Liga or RFEF. Some examples include a lack of goal line technology (it’s a goal when the referee says it is) or how VAR is sometimes implemented (interpretation of the rules)...
