More or less, this is the first season since 2011 where the team isn't worse than in the season before, longterm wise.

The only short good period was 2015.
And EV's first season, results wise.

Everything else since 2011 was a downfall, till now.

I didn't have faith in Xavi, but he turned the club around, for now.

Xavi on if Haaland and Mbappe both go to Madrid: That's a hypothesis that hasn't happened yet. It makes no sense to talk about it. Barca are working on the future and building an important project. The group is more important than individuals.

If he would want a luxury front three that didn’t press: Pressing is one of the bases of how Barca play. It's non-negotiable. There should not be a single player that does not press

Wise words. Haaland probably picks city anyway. For now. Till he hits his prime and joins Madrid 4 years later.

Can't remember ever seeing him so emotional as a player as he is on the sideline. Both the way he celebrate Pedri's goal and his conduct with the ref. Funny how it gets you differently when you can't be on the pitch yourself.

Mistake starting Garcia. He ain't any good. Mistake not starting Gavi too. That bull is not afraid of anything but our team were *"****** pants first twenty minutes.

Sure Garcia made few passes from deep which helped but overall kinda meh.

Barcelona 2011 was the best team ever in my opinion. No shame to not eeach those heights again.

Just a reminder that if EV was still here, our starting 11 age average would be 34 instead of 22 or whatever it is right now
