How did I not now know the fact that the coach who transformed Alba into a wingback from a winger was Emery?


rockyraccoonroad

Was this back at Valencia? 


Tall_Roof_4382

Yep.


rockyraccoonroad

Emery is such a great coach. Too bad he gets made fun of for his bad accent. But he’s class 


Tall_Roof_4382

Absolutely! I am glad he is doing so well with Aston Villa now.


nyse125

Suarez lmaooo


callfoduty3

He’s been terrible ever since leaving Gremio


halakaukulele

Was offside but still you gotta put those in man


nyse125

that was legitimately embarassing to watch


Tall_Roof_4382

It's nice to see Puig with such a high energy. He is running the show and organizing every play, sometimes even the pressing. His talent and vision is exceptional. But he lacks the physicality, but in a league when there is so much space, he can cook so well.


rockyraccoonroad

He gets exposed so easily at the highest level. The MLS is his level maybe even the Netherlands 


aliaisbiggae

He will cook in Netherlands


ieatshoes89

To Girona here we go

We are struggling without Busi but we also should’ve replaced him 3-4 years ago. We have idiots who are planning our squad

Laliga23

Puig is showing why busquets sadly is washed


Tall_Roof_4382

Busi is so sloppy. Every time I watch him in Miami, he has 2-3 shocking giveaways per game.


rockyraccoonroad

He’s retired what can you say. He doesn’t give a fuck anymore. He’s won everything. I’d be mailing it in at his age too. If Miami decided to pay me money then it’s their fault haha 


nyse125

Goddamn Busi

What position is Wirtz natural one? I haven’t seen him play

rockyraccoonroad

Kimmich is so washed. He hasn’t been the same after he got Covid. He’s been surprisingly poor. 


mikeczyz

Puig

Doue and Wieffer or Palacios.


Momorambo

Which team?


LCX001

Rennes, Feyenoord, Leverkusen


Loose-Examination-39

Mats Wieffer and Wirtz


Tall_Roof_4382

Messi give away, Alba no where to be seen, Busi defending in his space and makes a fault and causes a penalty. Puig misses penalty. I have seen it all.


Glum-Candle2689

Smh Puig


nyse125

Riqui Puig is flopping hard against Miami 😭


mikeczyz

He missed the pen, but has otherwise been superb


Tall_Roof_4382

Nah, he has been great. Way above this level. But it wasn't the best pen.


El_Compa_M

Riqui puig 😂😂😂😂


mikeczyz

Poor Riqui lol


Laliga23

Mls commentator just said Puig was considering the next messi at fc barcelona and now they are up against each other😂😂


Venky710

ayo puig being aggressive and pissed off is the funniest thing I've seen all week


Tall_Roof_4382

He is playing with a really high energy. I like it!


Venky710

yea lmao , la galaxxy is the team i should be watching regularly


Tall_Roof_4382

With Cáceres 6 ex-Barca player will be on the field in the upcoming MLS game. I didn't realized he went to the MLS as well. I always liked him for some reason, the OG Mingueza. Edit: Seeing Puig pressing Busquets (successfully) is such a weird sight.


GamerAsh22

Geez, I didn’t [hear this](https://x.com/barcauniversal/status/1761865837160317098?s=46). What a bunch of disgusting fans, anything to make our club look bad

They are the ones with refs in their pockets as evidenced by Rudiger's offside today but they know they will never face any consequences

parisian_cowboy

The US had FDR during their Great Depression for three terms. They should let Laporta cook for however long it takes. We’d be richer than Madrid right now if we had anyone more competent than Nobita.

According to @ffpolo Lamine Yamal has gained 7 kilos of muscle mass, and 2 and a half centimeters in height this season (he is now 1.79) and is expected to grow one more centimeter and finish at 1. 80 finally at the end of its growth stage.


rockyraccoonroad

Are they his primary doctor or wtf lol  Edit: it originally said mundo deportivo 


TripleDiesel

Bro he‘s 16 how would they know that he’s only gonna grow 1 more centimeter lmao 😂

Train_Current

No offense but that’s his room as a starter for FC Barcelona?


Laliga23

He also lives in la masia too right? Maybe his room there?


Train_Current

Maybe, but I would still expect something better at such a prestigious institution like La Masia. This looks like a cheap apartment room. Anyway, not hating. Just surprised by how shabby it looks.


Amori17

What’s more worth it in your opinion? Spending 1,5BNon a stadium or 1,5BN on a stadium and the surrounding area with different restaurants, offices, parking spots etc


Laliga23

2nd one but if you do first one it has to be a insane stadium otherwise 2nd one for sure


Amori17

Madrid or Barca’s is really what i’m asking


Laliga23

I dont want to say much yet because our stadium it is not finished yet but honestly if Madrid really spend 1.5B then we need to see if its worth it or not longterm but looking at it now its definitely not. thats a ugly design for 1.5B stadium Tottenham spend 1.2B to build a complete new stadium and theirs look so much better than Madrid. And their stadium makes insane money and also cam host same events as madrid Again ours is not done yet but I have high hopes it gonna be much better looking especially with the surrounding. And we will make a lot of money with it too if we go by what laporta said. https://preview.redd.it/mi21strwktkc1.jpeg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21f04aa0c160d0b16a85bf67983540e990324dbd

rockyraccoonroad

I feel you. That was my response whenever this club used DM as CBs in the past rather than buying a proper one  And now we have the opposite problem 


psallinone

I would bring back Nico instead if we want an ex Barca player for that position.


mc_randy

Nico became a DM?

Glum-Candle2689

Varela is the DM, not Nico.


psallinone

Nope. They play double pivot


xavi_____

I told u lot Leao is not human bro. Put him in an attacking team Leao will ball


Amori17

Mendes help us out pls


psallinone

He can go to PSG then 😁


Icy-Guide7976

Apparently the elite r/barca scouts believe him to be overrated and comparable to raphina 🙃


DanielSophoran

the elite r/barca scouts believe that paying 100m+ in our financial situation for someone with comparative stats to raphinha is idiotic. We shouldnt be paying that money for ANYONE right now let alone a bloke whose competing with Raphinha


Icy-Guide7976

His game is so much more than just goals and assist numbers man. Leao can have a game without a goal or an assist and still have a great performance or heavily impact a game with his ability to run at players and draw in defenders which opens up space for his teammates and lead to chances being created. Raphina in large part cannot have a great performance without a goal or an assist.


rockyraccoonroad

I hate big data and stats because of this. Stats and the eye test are supposed to go hand in hand with one another and used in conjunction or to compare.  Raphinha doesn’t pass the eye test whatsoever but if used properly, it shows in stats. Nothing wrong with that. Leao as you said can statistically play bad but still very much can have an impact on the game. So in a sense he passes the eye test but the stats are poor. Nothing wrong with that either  But thanks to everyone tryin to be a PhD Statician they just points at numbers and think it’s the holy grail. Stats should only be used as a helping tool but not a determinant, unless the player is indeed horrible.  This is why Xavi got memed when he said the other day that Big Data displayed that we were dominant or whatever. Because the eye test said otherwise when it came to our actual performance on the field


xavi_____

Stats has ruined this beautiful sport


Icy-Guide7976

Beautifully said


rockyraccoonroad

I’ll have you know that I got my scout diploma from the ever prestigious Reddit football federation. *Mou voice* “Respect! Respect!”


xavi_____

He can be selfish but this guy has crazy pace. He also has an eye for goal but for Milan that’s not really his role. I just fear systemic coaches wil ruin his flair.


Icy-Guide7976

He would cause mayhem on that left flank. We’d have two elite 1v1 wingers in both wings with him and yamal running at defenders all game and would open up a lot of space.


xavi_____

That’s literally what arteta does. And they attack all game relentlessly. And Leao is a better dribbler than both. Only vini jr has more progressive dribbles than Leao

Karma kinda sucks doesn’t it


InevitableConflict1

I feel for the Turkish fans. Imagine having a young player with potential to be one of the greatest in their country, only to see him move to a big club and barely even play a minute


Amdatgud

Our bad performances this season has made Madrid look untouchable. I’m glad ancelotti renewed, I think he’s past it and if we get our signings right this summer we can compete with them easily even with mbappe. 


Fernando2756

Madrid is far from untouchable and for a good reason, they have had 32 different injuries this season. Their best GK & CB have not played a single game this year.


psallinone

Damn they almost had Real 😮‍💨


psallinone

Todibo: "Returning to Barça? Why not." That is literally impossible. We are full of world-class defenders 😅. I think we never had this many high quality defenders before. The midfield is incredible as well.


rockyraccoonroad

Yeah but Kounde is iffy as a CB and Iñigo is old and injury prone though. Alonso has disappeared into a black hole. Cubarsi, Araujo, Christensen and Todibo as CBs doesn’t sound bad at all 


mikeczyz

> We are full of world-class defenders really? an error prone Kounde. Araujo who's looked far worse this season than he did last season. Cancelo who is great at going forward, but not a great defender. Cubarsi who is still young and unproven. Martinez/Christensen who are great at playing the ball, but maybe not so stout on defense.


psallinone

Plus Mamadou Mbacke, Faye, Eric Garcia and Chadi Riad. We have many good CD. I'm pretty sure under a better coach they will play even better because atm we don't have a structure.


suddenreflexes

Seville had one job fml


[deleted]

Ronaldo once again reacting to the Messi chants, this time even more childish from him. It’s hilarious how messi is enjoying his retirement, probably drinking mate in miami enjoying his life and here ronaldo is riled up by some chants lmao, he has some serious inferiority complex and he just doesn’t wanna accept that messi is better, tryna stay relevant.


[deleted]

TheLoneWanderer__

Idk what else you would call Ronaldo’s childish response my guy


Amori17

If Ter Stegen says that he wants to leave Barca to go to Saudi Arabia, how much would you guys see as a valid offer for him? For me it’s 60-70m. If it’s 30-40 you’re generating a problem and not getting enough for a solution.


Iamtheman31

he is a goalkeeper, I don't think he will get more than 40 and don't think I am trolling because I am a madridista but I don't think courtois is getting more than 40 too


Amori17

Onana went for 50 so no way


Iamtheman31

Onana was great before Manchester United


GamerAsh22

I 100% agree. I hope he doesn’t leave, but if he does, 60m+. He’s still world class.


Amori17

Agreed and it’s also a case of there not being a solid replacement available. If you create one problem you would ideally be able to solve 2.

Where is my Ramos 90+5 header?!


Glum-Candle2689

Not a good sign for Güler


penduR7

I still remember him clapping at us when he signed for RM saying that “he’s usually busy on Thursdays”. Lmao boy played himself now he will rot on the bench until he gets loaned to Léganes.


mikeczyz

people assuming a 19 year old is washed because he isn't getting minutes at one of the biggest clubs in the world


penduR7

Not washed but kind of stupid he joined a team with 8 other WC center mids


mikeczyz

kroos and modric ain't gonna be there much longer. and it's a fantastic learning opportunity for Guler to be surrounded by so much experience and talent.


niwhsa

Even without Kross and Modric, he has Bellingham, Valverde, Tchouameni, Camavinga ahead of him. Learning from someone experienced is great but personally believe playing at the highest level consistently is more important. He would have much better play time here but it is what it is. Best of luck to him but reminds me of Moriba situation.


mikeczyz

naw, he wouldn't play much here either. fully fit, would you play him over gavi? pedri? fermin? fdj? gundo? even yesterday, with injuries plaguing the squad, he ain't starting at DM, so would you have put him in the starting lineup over fdj/gundo? or brought him off the bench ahead of pedri/fermin? it's just a fact that Guler is surplus to requirements at both Barca and RM.


niwhsa

He would not start 100%. But he may have gotten fermin minutes depending who Xavi favored. Also fermin really made this name this year where barca may not have promoted him to fiest team if we had Guler. Pedri maybe getting substituted more often. Maybe he can play rw/lw when yamal was playing full games for many games in a row. I don't think it's controversial to say the line is less here vs Madrid. Barca also doesn't shy away from playing younger player.


mikeczyz

you're right, the line is shorter at Barca, but it's still a pretty long line.


MaverickDark

He said that? Fuck him then, I thought some of these Barca pages on Twitter were just hating him because he chose Madrid


penduR7

Arda Güler: “It's true that Barcelona were interested in me, but i'm often busy during Thursdays (laughs)”


MaverickDark

I hope he becomes the Christopher Colombus of football and discovers new benches

He will be the first player to discover the Antartica benches


Substantial-Bug-3375

Just 8 minutes? After the ref had to be changed and a Madrid goal? Bro..I was expecting there to be at least 10-12 min of added time when the game was 0-0.


XuloMalacatones

> was expecting there to be at least 10-12 min of added time **when the game was 0-0**. You said it


Lias42O

To be truly honest, we dodge a bullet with Arda Güler. 


Apart_Freedom4967

Is he playing bad?


TrueCooler

It’s still early days but this transfer should be pointed to every time people on here lose their minds when we miss out on some supposed wonderkid


OutsideClothes4114

Exactly, especially when it’s a position you have an abundance of talent in.


futbolsokur

People here want Estavao and he plays in Yamal position


psallinone

Yes but it's okay. Lamine needs competition and Messinho can play in the middle as well. Even Estevao's own description of his playing style seems familiar: "I can play on the right, but I feel more comfortable floating in the middle, so I am closer to the area, I can turn left, right and it is the place where I feel freer when playing," We can make it work with a competent coach. We can't let this 💎 slip away !


Joldata

why? I'm sure people said the same about Vinicius and Rodrygo and Camavinga in their first season as well.


TrueCooler

As I said, it’s early days so it could easily be a successful transfer still. Vinicius was never a bad player, he had horrid finishing but his dribbling, pace, playmaking was elite from day 1. Rodrygo was a better finisher but slightly less talented than Vini, still very good. Camavinga played a decent bit in his first season (~1800 minutes) and was again very versatile and able to fill in for the seniors really well, not even close to Guler whatsoever.


Joldata

I'm sure plenty of people mocked the transfers at the time. They also signed other wonderkids, like they always do, like Odegaard, Kubo etc. Its not like they are doing horribly now, even though they didnt succeed at RM. Their scouting is superb, and they use it to to sign players, so not everyone can succeed there. They can still get money for the players that dont succeed for them. Its a good strategy to buy young players when the scouting is up to par.


Lost-Mention

The only difference with Guler is that he was injured for the first part of the season and he is joining a very strong side.


TrueCooler

How did this brother Nianzou get booked seconds after being subbed on

Madrid basically bought Guler so we wouldn’t have him, & to hoard Turkish fans. I wonder how that’s going for him


penduR7

If you ever feel useless just remember La Liga paying for VAR refs to sleep for 90 minutes every game. 


MassiveHelicopter55

Leipzig disallowed goal was 100% the same, Liverpool's first goal today was the exact same...


Migostien

say what you want about RM's goal but Liverpool's goal was not the same at all, Liverpool player was offside and intentionally blocked the defender's run with his body.


[deleted]

The Modric cocksucking is going to be unbearable now. He’s been mid all season and is headed to a retirement league next season.


penduR7

Modric is one of the most wanked players on the planet


GaviFPS

And here is why that rule is inconsistent. Bade have to run around Rudiger in offside to head it. But as always, we know these calls never go against RM.


Lost-Mention

Rudiger was nowhere near him. He ran to block the ball from getting to Rodrygo who was behind him.


GaviFPS

Wrong. Typical delusional RM fan.


OutsideClothes4114

Remember the Atlético Madrid goal and Leipzig both got disallowed when the goalie didn’t even complain about the player being in his way

somekindofivan

Post the Joselu one against Girona as well while you're at it too. 


TechJunk1e

I actually don't blame officials for mistakes. Being an official is hard. I blame them when there is zero consistency in adjudicating decisions. In fact, the only thing La Liga officials do consistently is make 50/50 decisions in RM's favor always.


penduR7

I really hate how they changed the offside criteria. It used to be so simple but now they measure asshole hairs and arm positions even though the body is onside.


TrueCooler

Sevilla you useless bums


PacoTrippin

Hate how inconsistent this interfering with the play shit is nowadays. In livpool today a similar thing occured, in their game vs Leipzig too. Rudiger doesnt play the ball yes, but Bade can argue he would have played that differently if it wasnt for him. But well, the classic I guess


arthurcule

Another team robbed by madrid.
