Man literally let Madrid win consecutive CLs with peak MSN in his squad.
Still somehow has stans on here though.
Agreed. Madrid had easy paths to the final. And it always helped that Atletico Madrid was always the final opponent in most cases for them to run all over them to the trophy.
Also interesting That when Real faced Atletico in the final, that same Atletico always managed to beat Bar?a at the time.
I liked Lucho?s football. I feel like the transfers weren?t 100% his fault but rather corruption of the board at the time.
We did a terrible job of replacing the midfield. This is not hindsight, even back then people were begging the midfield to be replaced. Rakitic and Busquets should have been squad options by 2016. 2017 at the latest. MSN was fine and still capable of wiping most teams on a regular basis, problem is we had no outlet to control the games because of our midfield.
The management for the post 2015 years was simply shambolic, not only for our inability to consolidate our success but for squandering the prime years of the club's best player in history ever. Another Messi will definitely show up in the world football in the near future, however we will never have another Messi coming out of the academy ever again. This is like finding Napoleon and Alexander the Great and relegating them to a desk job instead of the battlefield. We completely botched it. We're never having another Messi again.
I have this thought that the more Barca kids Lucho calls up to Spain WC squad, the more our club will benefit as experience. Pedri and Gavi are there for sure, not even mentioning Ferran, Eric or grandpas Busi and Alba. But if Ansu and Balde make it and take part in Qatar could really boost their morale.
