Looks a bit cluttered. Whatever next, holograms? I'm more interested in whether we can get 5, 7, 10, 14, 15 etc. Champions League badges :)

Let's ask ourselves this question: Who'd have more of an IMMEDIATE and direct impact 1-2 years from signing: Dembele at 21 or Mbappe at just 19? I think we all know the answer to this question. One is already world class (the finished article). The other isn't there quite yet.

Hence Leo saying the Champions League is the priority this season :)

One can also argue that other teams have adapted to us since then. Football and the world of football has been forced to evolve to solve our vaunted midfield and beat us. Iniesta was a great loss. In some ways more than that of Xavi (whom I consider the heart and soul of Barcelona). Zidane...

Sane came good. What a turnaround from his first season.

Messi has 9 la Liga titles. 4 Champions League titles. If he had to pick only one, which one would it be I wonder? According to him, it'd be the Champions League this season. Priorities. I, for one, would be ecstatic with a European Double (we've won the most of these too). (Assuming...

The fact that Messi has said so publicly (reiterating what he emphasized in the Mundo Deportivo and Sport publications back in early June) tells you that he and our Barca mean business this season when it comes to the Champions League and will prioritize the "cup tournament" this season. Where...

lol

I'm assuming La Liga wants to promote their product and brand with high profile games and you can't get much more high profile than El Clasico internationally. It'll be interesting to see how La Liga approaches this. How will they implement this.

Absolutely not. Who doesn't want to win at the Bernabeu? :) 6-2, 4-0 etc long may it continue :)

You'd be surprised mate. The NBA is trying to popularize American basketball in the UK by hosting games in London. Teams are designated "home teams" randomly. Also baseball in London: the London Series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox (one of the most heated rivalries in all of...

El Clasico undoubtedly.

Le Roi est né, vive le Roi !

September 18th then :) Cheers mate :)

Deulofeu was also able to make those deep probing penetrating runs. Passed decently well too. Could also score the odd goal or two, just like Dembele. Look how things turned out for him. Coutinho has already gel with his teammates. Hope Dembele does so too. That's the thing about this the...

It's funny that you should mention Liverpool being 50/50. Liverpool was the one team I wanted to avoid at all cost last season. I was confident we could beat everyone else. And yes I do mean everyone else. Spanish Super Cup aside (a glorified domestic friendly, as it were), we've OWNED Madrid...

So the general consensus seems to be that Atletico is this season's undisputed Champions League favourites?

The word "obsession" has such a negative connotation but I, for one, don't think it would hurt Barcelona and Ernesto to prioritize winning the Champions League trophy to the point of "obsession." Make it an absolute priority. Madrid made winning the big eared trophy their "obsession", their...

Juventus signed Cancelo, whom I always rated and was on Barcelona's radar. I respectfully disagree that reaching the semifinals should be the objective. That's not a winning mentality. We ARE more than good enough. (Talent-wise, anyway). OK, if not us, who 's winning the Big Ears trophy? (And...

Unless they meet each other beforehand, these do seem likely semifinalists (Atleti, Barca, City, L'pool.) I think Juventus could surprise a few people. Defo semifinal potential. They remind me of a Chelsea, Bayern or Atletico in that they have consistently made the semifinals and have just...
