Put a blindfold on and pick at any name from any starting CB in La Liga. Instant upgrade.

He's been in a low phase for most of this calendar year. I also think there will never be a phase where he will grow to be presence in the box or become faster. This is why managers can be particularly patient and lenient with Araujo profile that do have presence and speed.

Bastoni liked some fan post inviting him to Barca.

Let's stop with "only 18". I get it, everyone does. So does Balde who peaked at 17.

All Barca gks get eventually thrown to the wolves. Even Valdes to extent. That guy made a right call to end it early.

Was only a matter of time before he was hailed "winter signing" :lol:

He does waste a lot of balls but still gets end product. Would never work in pep era where key was control but it does fit in Flick's chaos where we take more risks.

I wasn't being serious. Yeah, I see Tek unconcerned and just chilling as well. Love how he exaggerated the clapping after everyone stopped and Mats scornful look. :lol: Tek is a gem

And had authority to keep Balde, Kounde, Cuba, everyone in check. There is no leader at the back now.

Barcelona scored 169 goals in 60 matches in 2025, which is the highest in the club's history without having Lionel Messi in the team. Only four times have they scored more than 169 goals in a calender year and all of them were in the Messi era - 180 goals in 2015, 175 in 2012, 174 in 2016 and...

Ter Stegen claps immediately while Tek only joins in after everyone else did. Plot thickens.

La Liga after round 18: 2024/2025: Real Madrid: 43 Atletico Madrid: 41 Barcelona: 35 2025/2026 Barcelona: 46 Real Madrid: 42 Atletico Madrid: 37

Said a year ago he isn't even top 5 Spanish lb let alone world class as being hailed by Catalan press for ages now. I get the dead right leg. You can't improve much there but as a pro footballer at least do something about crossing the ball.

This kid is too weak to handle strikers and provides no presence in the box. No speed for high line either. And when the passing is not on point there really isn't anything there. Not his fault, of course as Barca was/is forced to rely on him.

Needs to be said that Villarreal has the best defense of La Liga. Was never going to be easy to score at Ceramica.

Saturday, January the 3rd, 21:00 ----- Besides Barca, Pericos are the most in-form team of La Liga. Expect a fiery atmosphere and special treatment of Joan too.

One to forget. As with vast majority of our players tonight. Maybe we shouldn't expect him to match the numbers of top strikers out there. :valverde2:

Think we escaped with 3 points. On top of Villarreal missing chances/Joan saving us, red/penalty... They also missed many players tonight.
