We play them after the clasico with 3 games remaining. The league will be hopefully decided by then and they have to clap their hands, when we enter the pitch.
Yeah if league is down to last matchdays we will have a hard time with Bilbao and Espanyol away

They are leading 2-0 to on Vallecas now and easily deserved to score the 3rd maybe even more

I translated a post from a Germany Barca Forum about Tebas, answering a question why Tebas always attacks Barca. I think it hits the nail:

In Javier Tebas's case, his way of leading the league and his political stance are simply inseparable. For someone who happily flaunts his political views and then runs the league exactly as one would expect from someone with those views, any consideration detached from politics would be naive.
It would be as if the Bundesliga president were an AfD (German right-wing party) supporter, and coincidentally, the DFL only ever tries to revoke Türkspor's (Turkish team) license, and the said president also speaks out far beyond his authority regarding what Türkspor can do and what it can do.

Tebas is a Vox supporter. Vox stands for a centralized government and thus the abolition of Catalan autonomy. The exact opposite of what FC Barcelona stands for. Tebas is therefore not just a Real Madrid fan who thinks Barcelona is stupid as a fan. He is someone who considers FC Barcelona a political and ideological problem.
When someone like Tebas comments on a referendum on Catalan independence that it means the exclusion of Catalan clubs from LaLiga, he is stepping outside the purview of a league president.
He is stepping into the realm of a right-wing populist attempting to change the outcome of a political election. Tebas can't (officially) lead LaLiga as a dictator who could make such a decision alone, nor would an exclusion have been as set in stone as he had portrayed it. And even if we enter the fantasy world in which Tabas could have made this statement, he is still playing politics by standing in front of the microphones with this objection.

This sets an important precedent that Tebas is not above exploiting his position as LaLiga boss to push his political ideologies.

But okay, so Tebas just hates Barcelona? I think there are more fundamental ideologies behind it. Tebas has no problem trying to override the courts. He has no problem telling the world that Barcelona can't make any transfers, even though the salary cap doesn't allow it, and in retrospect, it was obviously wrong that summer. In doing so, he's doing exactly what other right-wing populists do as soon as they come to power. Just look at Hungary or the USA for that.

Javier Tebas doesn't want to create a fair framework within which every club can then independently operate. He wants a central government that can intervene in every club and determine exactly who can do what and when. He shouldn't be deterred by pesky courts, not by LaLiga's rules, and certainly not by the opinions of individual clubs.
This is also evident in the fact that, of course, the court ruling is not accepted. And even more absurd is that a large part of the statement revolves around the court's decision to temporarily suspend Olmo and Victor until the matter was resolved in Barcelona's favor. That's simply a shocking and disgusting worldview.

care to share?

Masip explodes: "No one wants us to win anything, neither the League nor the Federation, only the people."​

The presidential advisor was very forceful in stating that "anyone who says Barça is cheating and Laporta is a cheat is a scoundrel."​



Enric Masip visited Esport3's Onze program and addressed some of the most pressing issues surrounding FC Barcelona. The Barça presidential advisor once again lamented the widespread criticism of the club, and especially of Laporta. He also called for greater unity among the Barcelona fans

Timely criticism​

"Every time we take a step forward, information comes out that takes its toll on Barça's image. Fortunately, we have a president who steps up and knows how to say 'enough!' We cannot tolerate—and the president is the first—these indiscriminate attacks. And not just from outsiders."

Olmo Case​

"Barça is following the law in the Dani Olmo case. Everything was done correctly. There are people who change the rules every day and make things difficult for what they demand. This is not normal."

Club model​

"The ownership model won't change. We've built a competitive team. The team is connected, with a great group and led by a great coach like Flick. There's a great team and club work going on."

Criticism of Barça and Laporta​

"Nobody wants us to win anything. Not the League, not the Federation, not anyone. They just want the people to win. We inspire and inspire passion. We're not Florentino or Real Madrid. We're feeling and colors. They don't like us, they can't stand us. They disrespect us. Does anyone believe we won with the help of the referees? Are we joking? All they know is how to shout 'Negreira, Negreira!' and generate this breeding ground.
"It can't be said that Barça cheats and Laporta is a cheat. That's what people say, and whoever says it is a scoundrel.

LaLiga
"It's indecent that LaLiga is saying that players like Dani Olmo or Pau can't play and can't work. They should dedicate themselves to organizing the league, which must be quite difficult."

Replays showed it's not a penalty. That if you watch it slow that Mbappe even moved his leg into the defenders line to dive.

Then VAR proceeds to show the only replay that hides this :lol:.

Only good news is that with all the cheating and the fighting and the cheating and the fighting, that Bill Cosby went and decided to miss the penalty.


Aaaand Valencha score. Siiiiuuuu.
