    Most of the regular lineup had been taken out at the 60th min

    Ivan Rakitić

    I kept thinking to myself while watching the Gamper..... Why is is Rakitic still in the game? He has nothing to prove and has played better than any other player this preseason.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    Some said he spit at Leo. Who knows what happened.

    Pedro Rodriguez

    Yep. Even with all 3 of them healthy he is almost always the first player off the bench. Now what's it gonna be? Rafinha playing out of position? Munir or Sandro? I don't like any of those options. Losing Pedros work ethic alone on defense is going to be a huge loss. Nobody else on the team gets...

    50è Trofeu Joan Gamper: FC Barcelona - AS Roma 3-0

    Doesn't look like its on in the U.S. Either. Guess it's only for Spaniards and Italians.

    Ivan Rakitić

    That one touch volley through ball to suarez was as good as Xavi could do it. Amazing.

    Luis Enrique

    Should we be worried about the defense or not? Seems like Masche may be what hold the team defense together. Either that or pique has gone back to his old ways. Hope it's not the latter.

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I was a little worried as well but now that I think about it, it makes sense. Who wouldn't be itching to come back to a treble winning team with aspirations and ability to do it again? If anything in regards to Argentina, he may be thinking, "thank god I'm back in a team who knows what they're...

    Pre-season: International Champions Cup

    Suarez in mid season form already. I bet he's thinking to himself I miss my boys on the left and right

    Pre-season: International Champions Cup

    Ya the only thing that I'm disappointed with so far in preseason so far is Bartra. I wanted to see if he could take the next step in his development and do well in the moments where his teammates aren't giving him much support. Of course he's a good cb option 90% of the time but that's what's...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v4

    I like his new boots. Probably because they don't look like typical Adidas boots to me. I'm more of a Nike guy ;)

    Sergi Samper

    I agree with all of this but especially the bolded part. Every time I have seen samper I have been so impressed by him. He is just like Busquets but more agile and maybe less defensively sound. I may be wrong on the defensive part. The only time I've seen Samper are in the few and far between...

    Arturo Vidal

    True, but the first 6 players in front Neuer are really committed to defense. If any group of players could play that formation and be successful with it, its those players.

    Pre-season: International Champions Cup

    Some have said that these games are worthless. I understand where they're coming from but I'm always excited for these friendlies. You get to see players you don't usually get to like Samper and Hallilovic. And I'm excited to see the team play with Suarez and no Messi. I don't think we've seen...

    Luis Enrique

    There's a big difference going into this season vs last season. Last year I think a lot of people wouldn't have been surprised if we won nothing. This year I think we have to be considered the favorite to win every competition we play in. Of course that doesn't mean we will and we prob won't...

    Andrés Iniesta

    I know with Luchos tactics Iniesta plays a different role than before but I would love to see him try more of those twinkle toe runs of previous years next season. He did it a few times Last year but nothing like he used to. Imagine him doing that on a consistent basis again leaving a trail of...
