On that note: do not trust any account around here that says they are "objective". They are not, we all have biases.
The way to deal with bias is not to feign objectivity but to be open about your biases so people can take that into account when reading your opinions & analysis.
‘True’ objectivity is a myth, as it should be. The sooner that’s inferred, the better. Sentiments have no on/off button, they’re perpetual - consciously and unconsciously. There’s bias in choice, there’s bias in code, there’s bias in selective data. You CANNOT resist sentiments.

I am once again asking people to not compare a standard sale of broadcasting rights to a media company (something every club or league has to do) with pawning your broadcasting rights for a quick cash boost.
Real madrid sold 100% of their TV rights from 2006-2013 and it was considered the best deal of all time.
Perez also sold training grounds to wipe out the debt.
Barca are selling 25% of their TV rights for a much better deal with a buyback clause but Twitter pundits know better.

Remember the first touch Kroos uses to "dribble" past opponents?

Do not let tonight's poor finishing hide the fact that this was Real Madrid's most dominant offensive performance this season.
I hope the underwhelming result doesn't deter Ancelotti from using the Vini-Fede-Rodry-Benz quartet more often. This unit has a huge offensive ceiling.

A year ago, an injury to Benzema would dismantle Real's offense and end whatever positive streak the team was on.
It's amazing to see that Vinicius, Fede, and Rodrygo have grown so much that this absence hurts much less now. Real Madrid's future is in the safest hands.

Reminds of other cases like Özil, Parejo or even Benzema pre-2019. Players were labeled as lazy or disinterested simply because of a more neutral or less energetic body language, as if we knew what was going on in the player's head.

My serious and professional analysis of Barca's midfield issues is that they need a Pedri clone. Or three, just to be sure.
Pedri is their most impactful midfielder ahead of the ball, but he can't be there because Barca's buildup phase issues force him to play behind the ball.

Ah yes, the team that has had Pepe, Ramos, and Militão is not an environment where aggressive style CBs can do well

Isn't it a bit odd that Xavi, who as a player was midfield control personified, built a team where the tempo is controlled by the wingers, not the midfielders?

The levers were one-time cash injections for the 22/23 season. Barca's 22/23 revenue and €648M salary limit were inflated by the levers.

No need to blame Tebas. This is just how the levers work.
So, La Liga have set Barça's salary limit for this season at €270m, compared to the €648m from February.

I do have Barca among my six favorites, but as Real Madrid has often shown, winning CL not only requires a team to be dominant but to know how to survive when dominated.
Barça still has some work to do on the latter. Which is normal, that resilience takes time and experience.
Can’t believe Peter Schmeichel is out here saying Barcelona “aren’t there yet” when it comes to competing for the CL.

You could argue this ten years ago, but it's outdated now.
PL teams now hire some of the best coaching minds from abroad to diversify their tactical ideas, while La Liga sides take fewer risks and hire from the same rotating cast of Spanish coaches "who know the league".
"It's different. This doesn't mean better or worse. There are less tactics. On a tactical level, La Liga is much better than the English one. If we talk about intensity, rhythm, the English league may have more. But the Spanish has more tactical quality."

Miguel was excellent playing out of Athletic's pressure with quick passing combinations. He's also starting to show more confidence to take on opponents.
Imo this is not a "he's playing well for a Castilla player" level, this is a "challenge Mendy for a starting spot" level.
Miguel Gutiérrez (

) vs Athletic Bilbao (16/05/2021).
Second start with the first team and Miguel did it well once again. He’s getting better and better. He should be with the first team next season as Mendy’s backup.

The thing with Vini is that even if you removed arguably his best quality (the dribbling), you'd still have to deal with this kind of creative passing he can do with all surfaces of his foot + his ability to find and attack space.
A proper triple threat (dribble, pass, shoot).
Filthy Vinicius pass and filthy Bellingham finish.
Real Madrid 2 - 0 Girona.

Laporta throws some bait to divert attention from the Barca scandals he's dealing with, and Real Madrid falls for it hook, line, and sinker.
I don't see what the club gains from engaging with Laporta on this subject.

Ah yes, it must be so boring to watch tonight's CL games after watching **checks notes** Manchester United playing deep block + counter football vs a relegation-zone side last weekend.

The reason Simeone gets the highest wages for a coach in world football is that he is the only person who prevents Atleti from collapsing due to the incompetence of their management.
🚨🚨🎙| Miguel Ángel Gil Marín (CEO of Atlético Madrid) to
@ElGolazoDeGol
on Enrique Cerezo’s words about selling for €40m in order to sign players:
“I think you have misunderstood, that's to be able to register players, it has nothing to do with signing.”

Gakpo discourse is basically a reverse Lisandro Martínez situation, people assume things about his presence and physical superiority just because he's tall.
Gakpo brings even more of a presence to the attack. He's the same height as Darwin.

This has already been the case for a while, but Vinicius is already at that superstar point where he can have an underwhelming game but then out of nowhere comes something absolutely ridiculous like that finish.

It's been one hell of a celebration weekend for someone who's both a PSV and Real Madrid fan.

This will probably light my mentions on fire, but I think that Neymar is the best Brazilian player since Ronaldo and people argue that Kaka or Ronaldinho are better simply because of nostalgia and titles won by their teams (which is reductionist).
At the top of their game, who are you taking between Neymar and Kaka? 🇧🇷🐐
