That was a self created opportunity BTW,Never forget, at 1:0 a match ball for a title:

It's all Arda's fault.
Anyways.. good bye Veratti, we all got wet dreams here but it's time to get back to reality, which might be ugly. I think Farto&CO are destroying Barca and looks like there's no worthy candidate to step in
Don't be blind
Yeah so many teams were close to wining the treble last season
Real Madrid (had they not messed up their CDR matches)
Juve (had they not lost the final)
Barca (had they not lost the league, and crash out at QFs)
Bayern (had the referee been better, had they not messed their match against Dortmund in the last minutes)
Atletico (had they been consistent, and not buckle to Madrid)
I can go on
i might be wrong but doesn't it works like : more people watching leads to High TRPs during matches leads to expensive rates for commercials/ads > TV broadcaster gets paid for showing commercials during the matches. Since they get paid more they are able afford purchasing La liga rights. And then a club who is able to negotiate tv rights individually with the federation has these stats.
Yes a single player won't really have an impact but the clubs do know where is the bigger market. If brazil for instance has been historically a good source of income , purchasing a brazil player can be helpful in attracting higher TRPs, hence putting a club in better position to negotiate. (i.e if barca matches are watched the most in that area, and is leading to higher revenues, that would mean a bigger chunk of the the laliga tv rights will be given to barca). Isn't that what madrid & barca do ?
Yeah we were closer to winning the treble than Madrid and JuventusDon't be clueless
The thing is that we were closer than all of those teams and our we lost the league just because of 1 late goal.
No one stand a chance against them even if there was a capable person available.
It's like the mob.
They can do whatever they want, one scandal after another, and the socis don't care.
Wouldn't be surprised if they survived even selling Messi by painting it as necessary.
We don't even have that "no one". Last election Laporte was casually strolling to the election, completely unprepared and the other clown was running a populist campaign a la Donald Trump. Like there was a real choice and socis failed to act.
