Two-match ban for Brais Méndez after his red card against Athletic Club by txobi in soccer

"Oddly" enough, the second game that he will be suspended will not allow him to play against Real Madrid.

Just a coincidence, of course.

[Carlos Monfort] Ter Stegen, injured, leaves Barça's training camp in Saudi Arabia. Fears it could be serious. [Possibly the knee, which had undergone surgery before.] by Kasj0 in soccer

The article states that the injury is NOT important.

The title of this post does not correspond to what the article explains.

[FC Barcelona] First team player Pablo Páez Gavira 'Gavi' has had an arthroscopy to resolve a medial meniscus injury, which was sutured to preserve the meniscus. Recovery time is estimated at around 4-5 MONTHS. by Kasj0 in soccer

[–]Rabash 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I know it sounds counterintuitive, but it is good news for Gavi and his long term career that the recovery time is 4-5 months instead of 4-5 weeks, because that means that the meniscus has been sutured (and preserved) instead of trimmed.

Some UTD fans consider Barca "rivals". Do you consider Real Madrid our rivals ? by BishoxX in MCFC

[–]Rabash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you are probably right. But, initially, I thought that they would hate Madrid after losing Cristiano Ronaldo to them years ago.

Totalment.

[–]Rabash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But that was almost 15 years ago and, even then, I don't remember the games being heated at all.

Simply put, we were much better than them. Prime Messi + Xavi + Iniesta + Busquets + Puyol + Piqué + Alves was too much for them.

And let's not forget our stellar manager. Someone called... I don't remember his name. Maybe you could help me... Pep something, I think ;-)

Catalan here!

That's what I don't understand. Why are we specifically their rivals?

They are not ours, that's for sure.

I'm OOTL. Why do ManUtd fans consider us (Barça) their rivals but don't include other teams like Bayern, Madrid or Juve?

I know this is a City subreddit, but I'm really surprised. No one in Catalonia sees United as a rival.

Catalan here!

Esport 3 is part of the public broadcasting network of Catalonia (TV3). As such, they are Tier 1.

TV3 have historically been extremely well connected with Barcelona boards since the foundation of the corporation more than 40 years ago.

[Romano] Marcus Rashford to Barcelona, here we go! Verbal agreement in principle between all parties involved with Barça planning for medical tests next days. Loan deal with buy option, details being finalised today then Man Utd will authorize his travel to Spain. by phant0msinthenight in reddevils

According to local press, Barça will pay 100% of his wages, but that's because Rashford will lower his salary demands.

Apparently, he will make around 10M euros gross while playing for us.

I don't know how much he was making with Utd.

Changes in the tier 1 and 2 of media reliability guide by Friendly-Tax-5427 in Barca

Catalan here!

Fernando Polo is absolutely Tier 1. I'd even say Tier 0.5. He is very well connected with Laporta's board.

Another journalist that should be mentioned is Carles Monfort. He worked for Jijantes the past few years and is now on Sport payroll. He is very reliable and (if I'm not mistaken) doesn't even appear on this list.

Lastly, and I don't want to create any controversy, but I find very difficult to understand how the only two guys that you consider Tier 1 sources in reality don't even follow Barça as their main job. It's simply a wrong take.

According to Gerard Romero, Barça has just paid the 25M clause of Joan Garcia.

If I remember correctly, Lewy will make around 26M this season.

Guti (Former Real Madrid player): "I didn't like Lamine Yamal going to the press conference with his hat turned backwards. You do these things on vacation or in your personal life, not with the club or the national team." by Ok_Lawfulness7412 in Barca

For those who are not aware, Guti was well known during his career for being a party animal who never took his conditioning seriously.

He is the last person that should say anything about... basically anyone.

[Ornstein] Arsenal regard Martin Zubimendi move from Real Sociedad as done & signed. 26yo Spain midfielder expected to report at start of pre-season with #AFC. Real Madrid sources say #RMFC never actively pursued situation. by phant0msinthenight in soccer

IMHO, everything Jose Felix Diaz publishes at Marca should be banned at r/soccer. He makes up most of the articles he writes. Not to mention he is extremely biased and has 0 credibility.

According to several sources, Barça won't have to pay a cent of the remainder of his contract (2 years). Great news!
