  1. La liga 2022/23

    Busquets is not what used to be but with De Jong, Kounde and Araujo guarding his back, he has been displaying his attacking talent, even in difficult games like Real Sociedad or Real Madrid. Barcelona has no replacement for Busquets when playing with only 1 wing. Kessié or Sergi Roberto are...
  2. La liga 2022/23

    I don't think the same. Barca also played very well against Bayern in the first match, they just didn't score. I agree that the team is missing a ballon d'or candidate as a 10 like Ronaldinho/Messi/Rivaldo/R9... This is supposed to be Dembele or Ansu Fati but of course they are no where near...
  3. Barcelona vs Manchester United | Build-up Thread

    As a Spanish FC Barcelona supporter with Man Utd being my PL team, I would say Barça is a bit favorite but they are quite weak in the mental side during big games after 4-5 years of humiliations. Man Utd has to use this weakness to beat them when they are down. Also most teams are physically...
  4. La liga 2021/22

    I'm not sure if I agree. The problem only happens when the team gets disconnected and is not able to push forward, which happened the last 2 games only after a very good streak. Zero goals against Sevilla and Real Madrid are a proof that this team can compete very well in UCL. I also admit that...
  5. Europa League / Europa Conference League 2021/22

    Yes, as Barcelona supporter I don't understand the ones that say Barca are shite or the ones that say they could compete with City, Liverpool and Bayern. The team is just in the right track, Xavi is doing a good work but there is much to be done yet. Defense is still a joke when the opposite...
  6. Frenkie De Jong | Performances

    As a Barcelona supporter... I hope he stays. It's the main job of Xavi to turn him around together with Ter Stegen. When he came he was the best player but got totally frustrated from being the only one playing with intensity and running non-stop. Now that he's got other motivated players around...
  7. La Liga 2020/21

    Best Barca match this season so far. Not only they played well in attack, which already happened a few times this season but only during a few minutes and with very low accuracy, but they also managed to control the game with the ball in the second half, I don't remember the last time they did a...
  8. Manchester United to face Real Sociedad in the last 32 of the Europa League

    Real Sociedad is the team playing best football in La Liga this year. However they have a big problem scoring goals, their 2 strikers Isak and Willian José are in a very bad moment, otherwise they would have a few points more. It's a really good offensive team, it won't be easy but at the same...
  9. Champions League | Matchday 6

    Well Juve played really bad, but Barcelona attack was dynamic and inspiring as it hasn't been since 3 years ago at least. Players like Pedri, Ansu Fati and Dembelé are growing with Koeman and there is potential to become much better. But they still have the defensive problem and it's not going...
  10. Thomas Partey | Arsenal Player

    I think you will regret these words. Thomas is an amazing player that was underused by Simeone. I think it's exactly what Arsenal needed and will boost them. But said that, in my opinion they will still fight for the 4th place, nothing more.
  11. Adnan Januzaj (18-19 and beyond)

    Great goal, he is an excellent player but too irregular for a big team. In Real Sociedad he found the place to mature but even there he is not always in the starting 11
  12. Messi v Ronaldo | Contains double your daily salt allowance

    Not true, and you can see it every year in Europa League. Just right now you have Espanyol, the last team in the table and it finished first of its group in EL. And Getafe a team with only 56 Million budget, did also went through. I don't think that the average level is lower than in PL. It's...
  13. Best player in the PL right now

    Difficult to say for me. I'm between these: Mane, KdB, Van Dijk and Vardy. Vardy scoring so many goals playing for Leicester deserves to be in this list for sure. Van Dijk and Mane are incredibly consistent and the main reason why Liverpool is so far from the rest. KdB is an exceptional talent...
  14. Jean-Clair Todibo

    There are serious rumours of Barca trying to sell him... As a Barcelona supporter I can't understand it at all. He never played more than 2 games in a row, and when he did he proofed to fit what is expected from a Barcelona defensive player, he makes some mistakes but at his age and without...
  15. Lautaro Martínez

    110 Million Euro is his price and could be even cheap to be honest...
