La Liga Round 9: Real Madrid - FC Barcelona 3-1

[Barcilliant]

The Drake collab is good. Need to appeal to modern, urban, younger fans. Barca has been coming across as a club living off the glories of its past. Laporta and the board are making some progress, atleast off the field, in revitalizing the image of the club.

Lmao 🤣. The club winning first and playing good football second are the most important things. People love winners and bandwagon fans only follow winners.
Just having a stupid logo on the shirt is not going to revitalise the club.

I wonder what the optics of this release are though. Did Shopify sublet this space to Drake?

Because for them, this is the biggest game of the year so far to advertise the Shopify app on the Barcelona jersey. And being an away game, they do not have the benefit of peripheral advertising space to coincide with a campaign.

As for the kit itself, I reckon it gets released as a limited edition shirt, probably at 3x-4x the usual retail price, and that it will go for big on the secondary market after being snapped up by bots- bar a members giveaway or two.

But again, what are the optics of this as the large beneficiary of this would be Nike (who are experienced with collabs) and you would think Drake himself would take a chunk rather than ourselves or Spotify.

It's interesting, but bar the mileage it seems it won't do jackshit for us financially.

This stunt has been written about a lot in media. So I think there's more short term exposure and attention than if they wouldn't have changed the logo for the game.

Also been confirmed it won't be for sale, can only get it by winning a raffle.

Why is el clasico almost always played on a Sunday these days? Is this Spain's solution to avoid bar fights or what?

Ancelotti confirmed Courtois is out

This should be a manita but will actually be a draw because we’re shite and pussies when it comes to league Clasicos on semi even footing

Real will win 2-0.

Easy

 

[huskerdu]

We will get smoked. For the love of god no more Busquets please

 

[Sooke]

If I see Alonso again on lb, pique in cb or busi in dm, I will just go for a walk instead.

Same here

time to win the league, last ll win was 18/19 lol

I don't see how that can happen with the players we currently have.

I?m expecting a loss in this one.

I am just hoping it won't be an embarrassing one.

Ancelotti already said he's going to keep it simple for this one. There will be no special tactical tweaks for this one.
Real will sit back and pick their moments. They are alot better than Inter so a victory for them SHOULD be a foregone conclusion.

Yep, if real is smart they sit back and counter. Easiest win ever. Our defense sucks and we can't score Vs tight defense.

 

[Porque]

Sport speculate Kounde will start at RB. Balde at LB with Eric-Malonso to provide the soft belly.

Frenkie on the bench with the Ancient One left to do what he does best- be countered tremondously.

Can't wait.

 

[Masetro10]

Barcelona is funny because we know every team wants to sit and counter and yet we allow that tactic to work so easily because "It's the Barca way" stupid as hell.
