As I said, of course they were run better under Florentino than Barca under Bartomeu. That's how they got to this level, while we have to rebuild everything. Barcelona have a lot of catching up to do, but no funds at the moment to close the gap in any meaningful way.

Xavi knows the requirements at Barcelona. He knows the team, despite the obvious problems, has to bring back the consistency of the 2022-23 season in the league, or we don't have a chance of competing with Madrid next season.

It's been on and off. Played well vs Atletico away, vs Napoli at home, vs PSG in 11 vs 11, and even vs Madrid away. The consistency in the league was not there and wasted way way too many points due to defensive blunders. That's true, the problems at the beginning of the seasons creeped their...

Nothing wrong with what he said. We did feck up in many moments and gave away many points and matches in key moments. He even said we've not competed well in key moments. Move on to the next season, and take from this season the decent no2 finish and the good performance in CL prior to Araujo's...

That's ok. Ancelotti is probably 2nd best manager over the last 25 years after Pep.

What are you talking about. I'm the one on this place that is praising Ancelotti as one of the best in the game when likes of Birdy and other clueless posters here say he is not a great manager. :lol: I already said many times how Xavi won the league. He got the team super-motivated and was...

I already answered to this many times. I put this into delusional and idiotic takes. There's several folders of those Barcaforum pearls of wisdom. You say to me that the squad that scored 6 goals vs City in a CL semifinal and won a CL + Liga double is not that good... I tell you to go to sleep...

Dude, the only reason they get to pick world class players like Mbappe as free agents is because they are no1 in Europe. Tchouameny 80m, Bellingham 100+. They added those on top of a squad that was already full of serial CL winners. The idiocy of Bartomeu is already well-known, no need to...

True, but I guess they feel very appreciative of Klopp considering they ended up their 33 year league title drought.

Liverpool are overdoing it with this flamboyant Klopp send-off.

If they win the FA Cup.

There you go... I figured as much. The wage bill is inflated by huge wages deferred from Barto days. When those stop (Laporta publicly said that Messi's back-wages stop sometime during 2025), the wage-bill is gonna go down by a lot. Things indicate 2026 is gonna be the year we recover. Camp...

Around 800m is their squad cost. Before Mbappe deal. Anyone with a brain knows Mbappe is a 250m player (hell, he probably gets half that as a sign-on bonus). So... yes, over a billion in reality. Barca is on around 350-400m. So half of Madrid even before they manage to sign the best player on...

So does Walker imo. He's a trainwreck also. And Gvardiol is more impressive in offense than in defense, event though he's technically a defender. The whole defense is pretty bad at actual defending. Walker is their best natural defender but between personal life problems and whatnot, he's been...

Except the fuck-ups in defense. That's what got them out from CL vs Madrid. Their defense never was spectacular, but this season was shittier than last year.
