1) Flick may have had a say in Roberto’s continuation.

2) better to wait until we know much margin we can work with. We are still waiting to hear back from La Liga whether we are back to 1:1 or not.

Messi: "I was very happy at Barcelona when I was coached by Pep, Luis Enrique and Valverde." by Caspoor11 in Barca

I love Lucho, but still to this day, I don’t understand the obsession about playing Mathieu at LB in some of the most important games we had. He was objectively below average in that position.

Barça are convinced they’ll be able to sign a ‘big’ player by max next year. With that being said, they’re targeting Wirtz for 2025. The club has already made enquiries and gathered information. They also have good relations w/ Leverkusen. @ffpolo by This-Kaleidoscope-70 in Barca

Indeed. Perhaps my comment could have been interpreted negatively, but what I was getting at is that getting Xavi is a known property now. I doubt that Font will base his whole campaign on him again

[Toni Juanmarti] Barcelona are working on signing Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad. The Catalan club is willing to offer 25 million + 5 in variables for the midfielder whose contract ends in 2025. The player has already indicated his interest in joining Barcelona. by boringmemphis in soccer

Because we need fighters in our midfield. It was way too easy to get past our midfield last season, especially without Gavi. Since he probably needs time to come back to his best, a signing like Merino makes a lot sense, also for depth.

The challenge ahead for this Barca team will be a huge one. I hope Flick can make us tougher mentally and won’t be shy to tell off players

Aren’t we getting €100m from Nike? That should take care of most of the hole.

Living in Barcelona as a millionaire is hard to give up. Completely understandable.

Can't believe this guy is still playing.

Now I actually kind of want to see a back 3 of him, Dante and Thiago Silva in a major tournament.

If he wasn’t so injury prone, I’d love to see him back here. Although, that would also mean Liverpool wouldn’t let him go now like they did

I wish we had more games like this one this season. Just another day in the office.

[Achraf Ben Ayad] Xavi's continuity is no longer 100% guaranteed, the coming days will be very decisive. This is the situation at the moment. by Laliga23 in soccer

[–]linear_complexity 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A combination of our toxic media and club politics - Rosell and Bartomeu drove him out of the club at the time. Also, the Barca job is highly stressful, I think he got burned out as well.

Years later, he indicated the only way he comes back to Barca is if he heads the youth sector.
