Yes in 1st half they were probably the best team itw, they peaked to wrong time. PSG on the other hand was average/good in 1st half but in 2nd they exploded

Hansi Flick on his future at Barça:
“I’m really enjoying my time here. The staff, the players, everyone — they’re unbelievable. The atmosphere is fantastic, like a family. I love living in Barcelona, and I’m full of energy and ideas to keep improving this team.”
“But I’m NOT the type of coach who signs a 3-year deal just to feel secure. I want to work for this club, the best club in the world — step by step, paso a paso.”
“Right now, it’s one year… then we’ll see. If everyone’s happy, we move forward together. But I’m focused on the present — we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

The wins from last years, most of them from Hansi. Unbelievable guys.
This is a good point. In the first half season people had high expectation of City, so Liverpool doing well was related to besting that City side.
As the season went on it was apparant that City are this season, well, a bit shit.
Which put much in perspective.

Jury is still out on whether Deco is a good SD or not as he's not really had the chances or luxury others in his position have with signings elsewhere in Europe, but him hiring Julio Tous have been integral to our players much improved fitness level, as well as the other hires with specialists in injury prevention and strength training.

Agree. From the club with the most injuries in the recent past to one of the clubs with the fewest injuries in 2025, especially if you don't look at the long term injuries that happened during the season's start, where Deco's physio team didn't have enough time yet to implement their program. It's no coincidence. Xavi's team was really bad in that department and he wanted to continue with them, one of the reasons Deco didn't want to extend with Xavi.
Our 2025 form is the direct result of it, as it allows the players to get to their peak form staying healthy (look at Pedri's form between his injuries and now, injury free) and Flick to rotate properly and use nearly all players.

stop clocks = no more players feigning cramps ✅
Also an Aye for either Sin Bins vs new card colors for half & quarter fouls as refs would get too confused and forget the count.
Would need a bin big enough to hold the entire Getafe butchershop + Bordarlas though 😆
In Belgium, refs are mic'd up like in the NFL
And also cheerleaders, half-time challenges, the kiss-cam and mascots would be a sensible start 😁

I actually like idea of stopping the clock. There would be times when things look strange but it would iron itself soon. Would need to be automatic as these refs take too much liberties with stoppage time.
We also need to go back to giving cards for diving. Noticed refs aren't as rigours in that regard as before.

Only in LaLiga.
They would have to cut games to about 30-35 minutes per half. IIRC LaLiga has the lowest time for ball in play for all the top leaves in Europe.
Actually in PL they have come up with a super smart solution by having spots around the pitch with extra balls to take when it goes out of play. No slowing down of play by ball boys and shithouse sides like Getafe and Atleti in the last minutes.

I am comparing it to NBA
48 min NBA games go 3-4 hrs.
90 mins +15 HT def going 3 hours min.
It will get corrupted for sure without a Euro wide implementation.
I looked it up and Atleti games have had 45 mins of inplay while Madrids and ours 60+. That's an issue.
Best way to combat is to speed up timewasting when ball goes out for throw ins and corners imo like England are doing.
Also one that I said for years, when a team is fouled, the FK taker (not captain) should be able to hold his hand in the air signalling a quick freekick, and they should be able to take it without the opposition being ready for the play, or the referee blowing for the play.
No point having the advantage of a freekick with the fouling team reaping the advantage of the freekick, and current referee's pulling back quick freekicks to be repeated.
