If you guys in England are (rightly so) astonished by Haaland's numbers imagine how we were in Spain 10 years ago when Messi, a man who was much more than a forward, scored 73 goals in a season + playing like that.

Koeman steered the ship in turbulent times (bankrupcy, Messi's goodbye, vote of no confidence, a new president).
His good legacy is Mingueza, Pedri, Gavi, Araujo and Nico.
And the treatment he got last summer was intolerable, HR material.
He will always remain a club legend.

Did Lewandowski and Raphinha improve the existing squad? Definitely YES. Did Barcelona need them at that price having Aubameyang and Dembélé/Ferran? Probably NOT. Did Barcelona need a left back and a right back? Definitely YES. Did they buy any? NOPE. Difficult to understand.

The best thing about De la Fuente is that
a) He could have chosen any route but chose attacking football
b) as he had no credentials in senior football coaching he could have tried to be friends with mainstream media by selecting players from Barça/Madrid willy-nilly. He didn't

A esta edad Joao Félix necesita tocar mucho balón para equivocarse y aprender. Poder fallar, aprender el juego de posición, etc. No tocar 15 balones por partido. El Atlético le hace más mal que bien. Algunos dirán que se está curtiendo en el Atleti; yo le veo perdiendo años.

Guys, Valverde is one of the good ones. He won a league almost unbeaten after losing Neymar in August (thing is that Barça doesn't care about this), he won a double and back to back league titles with Barça and qualified Athletic for CL and won them their 1st trophy in 29 years.

10 years ago Milan was 2 Champions League trophies away from Real Madrid. Now they are 8 behind.

Villarreal spent 9M to rebuild their midfield after Cazorla's departure. They signed Parejo, Coquelin and Capoue. Spanish top sides might be going through a transitional period, but the ability of the mid level Spanish clubs to overachieve with short resources is a lesson for all

On Cavani: the media has to make an effort to understand that in Uruguay and other Spanish speaking countries the word "negrito" directed to a friend is rather affectionate. That effort has to be made. It's not always accurate to use our set of values to judge foreign individuals

Luis Enrique had a plan to let Araujo play from the back and it worked. Before the red card, which came from Araujo trying to play a progressive pass, he made at least one significant error. It was Luis Enrique who singled out Araujo as the weak man on the ball. What a coach.

And Tati Castellanos' miss in front of Ter Stegen proves my point again. Barcelona's defensive numbers in La Liga are also explained by the poor quality of the forwards. Do you remember when Nihat,Luis Fabiano, Villa, Güiza,both Llorentes,Aduriz,Agüero lead some attacking lines?

Barca is financially suffocated. As it stands they will make a 25% less than RM on TV rights for decades. At current terms that's about 1 billion in 25 years.

Gonna say this now. The last thing Barça needs is a player who doesn't start for Manchester City. He would score a few but dim Barça's energy and pressure up front. If you are going to bid for a 32 years old Agüero why didn't you keep Suárez in the first place?

Barca's domestic defensive record has to do with the fact the best strikers don't play in Spain anymore. It's factual and you can see this when Barça plays v top opposition in Europe. All due respect to En Nesyri, Sorloth, Morata, but they are not Ben Yedder, Kovacevic or Falcao.

When I see Isco, Lallana, Ceballos or Götze struggling to find their place in a 4-3-3 I rate even more Iniesta's career. He owned every position, from left midfielder to deep playmaker to left winger being 5 ft 7 in and not quick. The most versatile midfielder in the 21st century

Barça needs a good coach, not a man who chooses publicly to leave and then changes his mind and stays (from all the weeks, it had to be after getting knocked out from the CL and losing El Clásico). This is not how elite clubs are run. The lack of self demand is baffling.

The admission from Morata about his mental health issues and his praise to Iniesta & Bojan for helping him is one of the stories of the tournament. His team mates say he's been a top captain. In his case being given a role and a responsibility made him improve as a person. 👏👏👏

On Figo.
You might not know he ended César's career with a terrible tackle, for a while was hostile with Brazilian born Deco in the Portuguese camp, tried to get the line-up from his friend Pep before Barça-Inter CL semi and he was sentenced to pay 2,5M for tax evasion. Glorious

I am one of those who believes that no one would want to play v Spain in the Euros. It's the deeply carved style, the potential of both wingers* and the fact they'll take the ball off you. It's an ordeal to play against them. Maybe Spain has gone overlooked.

Thread - over 30s at Barça: Who should stay and go
* Some of the over 30s salaries will be almost impossible to match by any top team. If the buying club wants to do so, anyway.
* We may see players sent away on the cheap in order to offload wages
Let's begin with Piqué.

Congrats to Manchester United. Very few things were more emotional than a 30 years old man like Weghorst looking at the stands and enjoying his first ever title (correct?). We forget what a maiden title can mean to a professional. And United have many who have never won the PL.

When Madrid and Barça were getting 90+ points there was a disdainful narrative about it. "Easy for them, level in Spain is poor"
Meanwhile, Spanish clubs were dominating Europe
A decade later (or "late"?) PL imports top coaches and experiences all that. It was all about that.

Let's put it simply. If defending is what defenders are rated for then Piqué is the best Spanish defender I've seen. Puyol had more courage but didn't offer the same dominance in the air & the 6 yard box. Ramos was worse defending but capable of being the star on the big nights.

I hope this ⬇️ isn't understood as a critic to Laporta, because it's not. The levers were a way of moving the club forward when it was paralysed. The culprit is the very incompetent Bartomeu. Laporta has lowered the wage bill more than 200M and yet won the league this year.

Spain is playing with two left footed CBs. It's common to hear "it's not right". However, no one complaints about playing with 2 right footed CBS (Puyol - Piqué, Varane - Ramos). To me both options are as good or as bad. I would like to read/hear a good explanation about this.

In basic terms, the difference between Athletic Club in the 90s and now is that now we can't tackle a deficit on the pitch (defensive midfielder and a forward) by buying Zubimendi and Oyarzabal. 25 years ago we were able to do that. We can't now. Reality has changed. No sorrows.

If it wasn't for Girona the big story in La Liga would be Athletic's. They are prolific, have young players up front, sit 5th despite having lost Iñigo... you could even push the narrative of Valverde's redemption after being sacked by Barça when they were topping the league.

Not healthy. Glorifying these ultras cos they are "real fans" is an error.
Yesterday, the Bundesliga’s bottom club Darmstadt lost 6-0 at home to Augsburg.

I have no idea if Gerard Piqué will soon be investigated for irregularities. Before this even happens let's settle this: it's inmoral that he took active part, while being a player, in laying out the Supercup's revenue share. And yet, for some reason foreign media still love him.
