    The Negreira case

    Not yet disclosed, but they have his phone, and are looking through all of his conversations with Grau/Contreras/Barto as part of the investigation. I would assume that it is not incriminating because from everything I've read it seems that Negreira Jr had no idea what was going on and was not...

    The Negreira case

    According to the economic values that Negreira himself put on the reports individually, the services should have cost no more than 13,000 euros or so. Instead they costed 7.3 million. Laporta also presented with 43 CDs of reports allegedly made by Javier Negreira, however, in his own statement...

    The Negreira case

    Negreira Jr : I would say on average, the value of the refereeing reports individually was around 20 euros each. "My reports were almost all text-based, maybe there was two or three videos in total." (Laporta claimed dozens of videos purchased from Negreira exist).

    Xavi Hernández

    Lewandowski was a consensus Ballon Dor winner before he came here. Not convinced it is about the quality of players in attack. To have such a good defense, sacrifices have to be made in the system, which is what's happened.

    The Negreira case

    Negreira's son would have apparently claimed that he met with Bartomeu in his company offices more than once and that he has WhatsApp conversations with him. A secretary of Negreira also claimed that she overheard them discussing football in the company offices. To be honest, this doesn't make...

    Xavi Hernández

    Maybe some data points help to break it down : Barca's overperformance of xGA is +14.46, meaning that roughly we should have been expected to concede 14 more goals than we have at this stage in the season. It is a huge number in isolation and likely extremely pivotal to how many points we have...

    Xavi Hernández

    I agree with you that it's hard to explain and it annoys me a little thinking about it because I can't work it out, I imagine it is the same for @Birdy, it just doesn't make sense how these chances keep being missed but there must be a reason other than luck because it is a constant. Not just...

    Xavi Hernández

    Don't bring Messi back. He's not what we need even if he'd improve the team, we can make better improvements. The physical level of this team compared to the rest in Spain is brutal, we can press for almost the whole game and we have a lot of speed and intensity, strength. That is why we have...

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I think he's frustrated personally at how his season and time at Barca is going. He wants the stardom, the fame, and I don't think he sees himself as the star of the team, when maybe he came with those expectations. He is trying however he can to score and put himself above the team but it's...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Asensio maybe comparison only in terms of the goals and assists but as players, they are very different. The key thing about Raphinha is he can keep up a top physical level for the entire game and always be available in defense and attack, to track back or to stretch the backline, make a run on...

    Ousmane Dembélé

    Dembele is much better, but Raphinha has his positives as well, not a bad alternative to rotate with and cover for him when he's injured, though a more similar winger would be ideal.

    Premier League 2022/2023

    Raphinha is probably a better player than Antony, let's be real, and we got him for half the price.

    9 goals conceded in 30 games... Sorry but this is absolutely fucking crazy.

    La Liga Round 30: FC Barcelona - Atletico Madrid 1-0

    Simeone can never beat Barca, its just written that way. 16 games and no win at Camp Nou.

    Frenkie de Jong

    No coincidence he came back and back in the wins. He is not no Rabiot or Ruiz or De Paul. This guy is the real deal.

    11 - Raphinha

    He has some key technical flaws - no weak foot, bad touch, so it limits what he can do on the wing, but his physical level is tremendous and he is extremely active so he often gets a goal or assist just by way of sheer desire and workrate..

    11 - Raphinha

    I don't agree, I think he was good. He technically isn't the best but is very very physically top and gets into great positions, he is effective just in his own way.

    9 - Robert Lewandowski

    I don't know if he didn't see him, or he was greedy and wanted to shoot... I don't know which one is worse... Very unprofessional, poor poor poor from him not just then but the whole game. Looking washed.

    La Liga Round 30: FC Barcelona - Atletico Madrid 1-0

    Deserved win. Won the second balls, good defensive structure and should have had a 2nd.

    11 - Raphinha

    The thing is with him, his physical level is incredibly high so he can always stay active and get into great positions at all times. It is very helpful.
