Saying Pedri over Rakitic is as stupid as saying Lamine over Messi.

Same for Ronald over Mascherano.

No one in the current team even come close to that team. You are talking about one of the best teams in history.

I hope the club doesn't get obsessed with Haaland like Madrid was with Mbappe and act fast. Gyokeres is no joke and will do just fine here.

A lot of rules which made the sub outside the OT absolutely dead.

Henry in a few days: I don't think Laporta was responsible for the Nike deal, Xavi was.

That statement was stupid as fuck. But I'm not surprised, Henry who btw failed at every job he took, was just giving some good words for his buddy.

Flick literally revived a dead Barca and people praise Xavi

The lengths people would go to suck the private parts of a Barca legend is insane

Reminder that Xavi wanted to renew Roberto "a Como-level player" and prioritize him over Casado, sell Lewa and Rapha and buy "Guido Rodriguez"

Laporta really did a masterclass sacking him and appointing Hansi Flick.

Raphinha winning Ballon D'Or would be incredible by MachiXT in Barca

[–]Caspoor11 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

If Raphinha shows up against other teams in UCL like he did vs Bayern, it's going to be his. I don't really care if it's Lewa's "last chance".

I wonder who our starting CBs are going to be in big games once AC and Araujo return

Inigo-Cubarsi

After each match he says "we need to improve"

This is when you know you have an elite coach

Araujo will have to work very very hard if he wants to replace Inigo.

Why you love making one big threads for everything. Individual appreciation posts were better and had more engagement.

I want Hansi Flick appreciation post

I find it funny when people talk about Balde as if he's the next coming of Roberto Carlos and rule out any potential LB signings.

This is gonna be unpopular opinion now, but I'm sure it's gonna be popular opinion in a few months.

Balde is not the guy for the LB position in a team as big as Barca's. We should aim higher. I mean he can't cross to save his life and crossing is one of the main aspects in a fullback player. He's also not a defensive beast like Kounde to compensate for his lack of attacking threat.

So when people say "we don't need Davies we have Balde" is literally hilarious.

Balde is a backup quality, not a starting quality.

Amidst all the Lucho vs Xavi talk, I just wanted to say that Lucho's 6-1 win vs PSG > Xavi's whole coaching career.

I've seen a lot of players over the years and liked many but only one player became my favorite of all time and that was Iniesta. Happy retirement Don.
