5 - Iñigo Martínez

[Barcaman]

Everyone fawns over Cuba's potential injury when in reality this guy is leader of defense.

 

[Barcaman]

Trained today.

❌ Osasuna are reviewing a possible violation regarding Iñigo Martínez's inclusion in the lineup.

❌ Osasuna are analyzing whether Barça has violated a FIFA rule regarding the required period that must pass after an injury-related withdrawal from the national team.

I believe it's 5 days he's not supposed to play.

But it's been 10 days since he was replaced during the international break.

 

[FCMessi]

As if Osasuna would have lost by a smaller margin if IM did not play.

Shameless and desperate attempt to try avoid relegation.

 

[Joan]

So what’s the worst that could happen? They switch 3 and 0?

I believe it's 5 days he's not supposed to play.

But it's been 10 days since he was replaced during the international break.

Nope. It is 5 days after he could have played, meaning from the day of the last match between Spain and Netherlands.

However, this protest is is likely to fail because the decision to withdraw was synched with the Spanish Football Federation. That rule was put there for situations where there are disagreements between the Club and the National team's doctors on why players stayed away from the national assignments.

Barca could also tender the results of the tests carried out to determine that he was injured, leading to the withdrawal and tests carried out during recovery.

Conclusion. This protest will most probably not be sustained.

 

[Kul_z]

This guy so far is among the best players of the season. Fucking confidence!

 

[Andresito]

He's phenomenal

 

[jamrock]

Great use of 9m euros.

In "retrospect"

 

[jamrock]

I Wonder what his season would look like if Christensen was fit.

I suspect he would be the starter, we'll never know.

Still a great use of 9m euros though, no matter what would have happened.

 

[Barcaman]

Raphinha: "Iñigo is not officially one of the team's captains, but in my opinion, inside the dressing room, he is one of us, I mean one of the captains... He is a real leader."

 

[JamDav1982]

Those Basque CBs are aggressive as fuck.

See it all the time with them coming through Bilbao and Sociedad.

Vivian now is the same. Le Normand etc.

 

[behindbrowneyes]

Always liked him and thought he could have a better career at a greater club. Only concern about him were injuries.

He has made a crazy transformation during Flick and is the leader at the back.

That it was his dream to play for Barça one day are not just words. You can see it every game.

 

[Messi983]

Great having a Basque beast in the team again.

Now if we would only have a Basque coach as well...
