    UEFA Champions League 2014-15

    Yeah, like last year it was for Real.... oh, wait. Considering injuries that Bayern have, it is better to face them in semis than in a month. Just an optimistic thought. Downside is that after return leg we will face Atleti at Calderon in La Liga....

    Luis Enrique

    Yeah, spot on. Masche was relentless pressing PSG players in final 10 minutes and they could not press Barca back to keep the hope alive with another goal. they had to rely on long pass and only complaint would be that they got the chance with ball over the top only Adriano to make crucial...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    Tito wanted the best for the team and it was to bring Ney on board to improve the team as soon as possible. But it does not give for the management a green light to cook up such a mess and even the break the law. And at least for me, Barto is not saying it in that statement. He simply says that...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    Ok, then. There is no clear evidence that Tito did not want him, I think he wanted, there were signs back then that we really needed somebody to help Messi, somebody who can decide games by his own. So, I still believe that Tito wanted him, actually wanted him badly, because Ney was the player...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    I really don't get what your saying. I just saying how I am interpreting the things Barto said to judge and I can't get it right, it is just my point of view. Of course you may think that Barto is lying about consulting Tito about Neymar's signing. Might also be, but as I said it would be...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    Might be, but I would say that Barto is just simply bringing out the facts and not using Tito in any way. Tito wanted Neymar, clearly, and I would argue that it was regardless Madrid's interest, Tito just wanted to improve his team that was waning in attacking sense. It actually shows that Tito...

    Josep Maria Bartomeu

    I don't know. What I am reading from AS http://as.com/diarioas/2015/03/27/english/1427450287_155036.html is simple reflection how things are done in any normal football club- the coach wants a certain player to improve the team and management will look into it if they are able to bring the...

    Luis Enrique

    I think Ferrer was spot on in his analysis for Revista show- Barca midfielders and especially Messi were too wide during the first half, Messi stayed very near to touchline and was frozen out there as Real pressed intelligently at half of the pitch. As playing Masche helped defensevly, it meant...

    CL: Barca - Man City 1-0 (3-1 agg.)

    Watched replay, I really don't get the meltdown about the second half. City huffed and puffed after the break as they were absolutely supposed to do, but except couple of set pieces half chances and some dangerous runs after pressing and gtting ball back Barca still was comfortable and created...

    10 - Lionel Messi - v3

    Can anybody provide a video of moment that Scholes mentioned in his blog- Manu vs Barca in 2008 semi final, where he tackles Messi inside the peanlty area, fouls him, but referee just ignores it? Couldn't find it myself.

    Lliga: Barca - Villarreal 3-2

    You either have never refereed a football match or played as a goalkeeper. Sorry, but if gk makes that call to rush towards the striker and do not touch the ball and then takes out the legs of attacker, it is 100 % penalty. Defender touched him and he may have dithered, but it is impossible to...

    Lliga: Barca - Villarreal 3-2

    He may have slipped, but the goalie clearly made a contact with him and did not touch the ball. How on earth can be claimed that he wasn't obstructing his run- he cut him down very clearly without reaching ball and rushing out.

    Lliga: Barca - Villarreal 3-2

    It's like kind of tautological automatism that we don't have a midfield. I think we controlled the midfield against Villareal, but the first lucky goal for visitors (they did not get a chance before that) destroyed a rhytm a bit and as Lucho said after the game, after the goals team looked a bit...

    Luis Enrique

    Rakitic was excellent under pressure in Sevilla as far i was watching their games (against Barca, Madrid e.g), so there is hope, especially important is to develop his understanding with attackers during hard pressure, to get accustomed their movements. Yeah, he is not Xavi, but he can...

    Luis Enrique

    I agree with the part that we have to handle that kind of pressure a bit better. Hoofing a long ball is okay, if necessary, but you just can't really rely on that and the first goal Ney scored was actually a proof- a little genius just dummied a rushing defender, a short pass to Suarez, and he...

    Copa: Atletico Madrid - FC Barcelona 2-3

    Every successful counterattack needs excellent execution, otherwise we would see 8-10 goals per game. Or sometimes some luck, but luck was not involved in Barca's counters yesterday. Besides, Alba moving fast on the left wing is not and (has never been) occasional thing, but part of the...

    Cdr: FC Barcelona - Atletico de Madrid 1-0

    We played well, not that great comparing to league game, but Atleti had adjusted their tactics, played to get a draw and not to concede. Remember, it is play-off and two legged series. Apart from Atleti changed tactics Barca still dominated (not only in possession), but we did not play great...

    Luis Enrique

    Ursegor again nailing it imho. A lot of things against Lucho are just simply false hope that changing a manager it will change everything and we would take over Madrid once again. I don't think so, people in here underestimate the transition Barca is going through and impact that it usually has...
