Midfield has a difficult job when forward line lacks movement. A deep-lying, well-defending opponent always has been this team's weakness.

Christian Eriksen Games: 304 ⚽️ Goals: 69 ️ Assists: 89 Chances Created: 547 Big Chances Created: 70 The numbers speak for himself and he is probably the best Spurs-midfielder in history. However, he doesn't come across as the player who puts in the extra effort and Barça can't afford...

20yo right winger from the Barcelona B. He is known for this goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKhLGvwCZok

He had to run for Suárez and Messi, so saying he doesn't have to defend as much as under Simeone is an understatement. He gets played out of position so you can't expect him to perform at his usual level. It doesn't work like that. Villa and Henry both were right-footed, that's why they worked...

If you like him/it or not, he'll be a deciding factor if Barça wins something or not. Fati on the right wing is just a place holder until Dembélé is back. Someone needs to provide width on the right or all opponents have to do is putting a wall around the box and shut down Alba on the left. An...

Don't read too much into that game. Due to the board's bad planning there are only 3 CBs left in the squad. Araujo was suspended. They loaned out the only one with pace. It was a smart decision to not risk Umtiti on that hard pitch given his history with knee injuries.

It's fake news/bad translation. He said "WE'VE CANCELED TRAINING FOR LESS". Probably referring to EV.

Fati was there to provide width because Roberto played an Abidal-like role as RCB. Alba was the left "winger". With Griezmann, Messi and Vidal there was a lot of traffic in the middle and the targeted pass to Alba or Fati should open the room and then get the ball from the outside (Alba, Fati)...

There are some older players who are still keyplayers but we shouldn't exaggerate. Suárez has a season-ending injury, so there are just Piqué, Busquets and Messi past their prime regarding the physical part. Alba/Firpo, Lenglet/Umtiti, Roberto/Semedo, Arthur/FDJ and Dembélé/Griezmann/Fati/Pérez...

ESPN: # Prior to that session, Setien was formally presented to the squad in the dressing room, alongside his backroom staff and Bartomeu. Despite the expectation of a fairly simple exchange, sources explain Setien seized the chance to make a mark, saying, "If you have any doubts, tell me...

Valencia away and at Mestalla are two different stories. Probably the hardest away game for Barça in La Liga.

The asymmetry was strongly reminiscent of 2011 Pep-Barça. Roberto doing the Abidal. Alba had the whole left flank like Alves had the right under Pep. Umtiti had the role of Piqué in 2011. Fati had to play right to do the Pedro and offer width on the right since Roberto had to stay at the back...

Pep didn't sign him. He was a signing of the board, mainly by Reschke (he also brought Vidal to Europe when he was technical director of Leverkusen) who convinced Rummenigge that they need this type of player. Pep wasn't happy with the signing because Vidal is the antithesis to his rolemodel of...

Setién has so far made an excellent impression and I am very excited about the first appearance. I believe we will see some changes right away. Reason: many of our players don't have to learn a new game, because they already know this way of playing. It is not the case that Setién implements a...

He has 100% recovered from Valverditis.

Milan is a beautiful city but the German clubs are a better choice for his development. AC is a mess. Stay away from there.

Not that surprised by his decision. Dortmund is a great choice to make the next step in his career. One of the biggest clubs in a competitive league but with less pressure/competition than at a club like Juve or United. Kid is smart and when Haaland continues to perform in Germany like he did in...

Was kinda disappointed by his slow start but couldn't hate him because of the effort he made. You rarely see a striker who works so hard. Never lost hope because it was clear that he will link-up well once Messi is back. Best example that hard work always pays off in the end.

Although buyout-clauses are not a common thing in the Red Bull world, he might have one as he already was a prospect when he joined them and has chosen Salzburg over the likes of Juve. A realistic price in his contract might have been a condition to sign with them. However, Dortmund is a great...

4 interceptions sounds nice, but that Dortmund team was throwing a turnover-party yesterday, so.....
