Seems that opponents have learnt his moves. His dribbling is a bit basic and he doesn't have a lot in his locker other than kick and run.

We have a good set up for Ancelotti RM and it works every time. You can see in defense how we flood people behind the ball carrier because we know Madrid only tend to attack with one twos or close connections. Their lack of switches and lack of use of the whole field means that we can keep...

Just lacks that physicality. If he was a bit stronger or a bit faster..

You guys are mad at the ref? Araujo has been punching holes out of Vini.

Mr washed coming up big!

Lets gooooooooooo.

Who's the hit signing?

Good that Xavi knew Romeu would be a liability here.

Win would be nice but a point is ok.

Haaland is not really a liability defensively though so pros and cons either way. Historically, Messi is of course a way better player, but last season? Not so sure.

Yes but this has always been the culture of Barca. Barca for a long time has been a club which found success in its youth system as opposed to other big clubs who mostly buy their best players. Xavi is doing a good job continuing that philosophy.

I thought Gavi was the best ballwinner in the world...

Just gets used as a political issue to pointscore rather than one clubs seem to care about on a human level.

True but it is nothing new that in football players have been attacked in nasty and malicious ways by fans. That includes race and other things like sexuality or personal life etc. Nothing excuses the abuse he gets but sometimes feels that he gets a lot more sympathy and airtime than other...

Kounde or Raphinha were decent signings but you struggle to think that signing one of those two would have been better than having Zubimendi over Romeu seeing the situation today. You don't lose that much going from Kounde to another centre back we have. You don't lose that much going from...

Not Negreira related but apparently ahead of a Clasico in 2019 Rubiales told an RFEF employee not to suspend Busquets so that he could play the game. This has come out under the legal investigation of the Super Cup which Pique helped organise. Busquets said after a game with Sociedad in 2019...

Romeu is Busquets without technical ability. So basically he is nothing but a big body with a decent touch.

Dembele and Frenkie have been ballers under XAVI.

There are B team players better than this guy.

If anything, you should be surprised Manzano hasn't refereed more El Clasicos till now. He is like the only Spanish ref that UEFA regularly call to referee Champions League games. Almost all the other Liga refs have not directed a single Champions League game. That is to say, he's the only ref...
