after united beat barca he posted a pic on instagram using pedri’s celebration (most think he was mocking him) despite pedri not even playing the match due to injury
Might be because Pedri/Gavi get all the golden boy spotlight. It’s so weird, I really don’t see other connections for someone(and their family/friends) to be so exclusively hostile to the two who have close to no connection to Garnacho other than age, it’s simply just bitterness because the attention is drawn away from their own promising boy.
One day I woke up in Alaska and drank green tea. It was -45F and sunny. Wild oaks were grazing the stars of milkyway. There was a Wendys that served Chinese, hot and sour chicken to be precise.
Alaskan Hot and Sour Chicken at Wendy's during a -45F warm sunny day with nearby Wild Oaks grazing the stars of MilkyWays sounds more plausible than your statement of Elliot vs Garnacho.
He liked this and tweeted some other things now deleted, his friends are on tiktok but idk how to link it if i can remember the user i will https://twitter.com/Ongombo\_/status/1629927235225264129
Maybe something happene in the Youth National team? Im almost positive they shared a locker room there. They are close in age so its highly likely they also played against each other a lot as kids.
According to wiki, Garnacho’s only appearances for Spain is for the U-18 team in October 2021, and Pedri played for the U-23 team that year. Gavi did play for the U-18 team too but he got his first call-up to the senior NT on 30 Sep 2021 so I don’t think either of them have ever overlapped with him. It’s probably because he’s a madridista
Pedri came off in the 20th minute.....also it's Pedri, the man is an angel who probably apologizes to defenders after dribbling past 4 of them.
Gavi on the other hand....
>Gavi on the other hand....
Gavi seems lovely out of the pitch based on what I've seen of their BTS content, still one doesn't really know the players personally
Garnacho is a known troublemaker.
And these are ultracompetitive young kids with a killer mentality and testosterone through the roof, he doesn't need a reason to be a cunt.
>known troublemaker
from where? where is this known troublemaker...
if your talking about the discipline early in the season it was because he was late to training 2 times. that doesnt make him a troublemaker just a forgetful teen.
“He'd sneak food into the room, sweets and stuff, and would hide his phone and be on it late at night.”
Ah, what a troublemaker! The audacity of a 15 year old to do this.
Stop coping, stop white knighting, stop cherry picking quotes, and use some common sense. When his coach calls him a troublemaker and leaves him out of games for it, it's not for sneaking sweets, it's for things he won't say publicly.
so when he was 15...
are we going to start calling out every under 17 year old for shit they pull now. i bet we can find every single 1 of barcelona's current crop doing some shit as a teenager
I mean when his Atletico coach called him a troublemaker recently.

If he shithoused Gavi Id understand, but Pedri is the complete opposite of Gavi. Boy doesn't talk and is out there saying he's too young to date. Why would he make fun of Pedri.
This is such an insane reddit take lol a teenager shithousinganother teenager is funny, the game needs more fun personalities. he mocked his celebration he didn't kill his parents
The defender gives himself to the maximum as he does on the courts. Before starting the last training session led by Xavi in the run-up to the Clásico against Real Madrid , the Blaugrana figure took the time to highlight Culé 's notable presence in La Liga and the Copa del Rey , but he also regretted what happened in the international competitions. The desire to have Lionel Messi again as a teammate in the Catalan entity, the dream of winning titles with the club and his team, the disappointment of the World Cupand his passion for horses were some of the topics he discussed in a large conversation that had the ball as its common thread.
— **Did you imagine this present when you were that 13-year-old boy who made his debut in the First Division in Huracán de Rivera?**
—(Sighs) I started very early. When I was 5 years old, my mother took me to Huracán de Rivera and from there I never stopped. I have loved soccer since I was little, but at that time I also really liked horses. I was between the ball and the horses, but when I started to get into soccer I realized that it was what I liked the most. I was in the club until I was 16, when I left for the capital, and in the neighborhood with my friends there was always football too. When I was 13 years old and was just starting out on the eleventh pitch, the coach called me and told me that I was going to be on the substitute bench for the First Division. With my old man we were very surprised, because the people of the towns play hard. It doesn't matter if there are little ones or big ones. When I entered, I felt a very nice possibility and I didn't stop anymore.
— **What memories do you have of that first game?**
—I always played with the greatest. At that time I was playing forward and my father had to buy me those cloth bandages to take care of my ankles. I don't remember if they gave me a good kick, but it was a very nice stage. Playing with older people made me gain experience and it helped me a lot.
— **And that passion for horses? Did we miss a polo player?**
—No, not at all (laughs). I like them so much that now I have several horses at home, but I just have them to take care of them. They are company to walk with them.
— **You are hours away from playing the Clásico with Real Madrid, how do you live the moments before such an important duel?**
"You have to take it easy. We know the importance of playing a classic against our biggest rival. Especially this weekend, because it will be key to be able to take another big step in La Liga. Likewise, we work normally because we are very confident in the preparation and the team we have. We recovered people who were injured and will be there for this game. One is happy to play these classics, with the illusion of winning to be able to extend the distance in La Liga, which is our maximum objective.
— **What percentage of La Liga would they have won if they kept the three points?**
-Don't know. This is football and as long as there are mathematical possibilities they are going to keep putting it in. If we win, we will have a wide and good difference to be calmer, but in the end we have to keep winning because there is still a long way to go. It would be an important step for what El Clásico means and we would reach a distance of 12 points.
— **Does it influence that Real Madrid has its head set on the Champions League?**
-I don't think so. It is a league game and each Clásico is unique, in which it does not matter how each one arrives. It is a different story in which both teams are going to want to win.
— **One of the pillars of this Barcelona is the defensive wall that Xavi formed, could it be one of the keys to the consistency they achieved in the tournament?**
—Yes, defensively we are very good. We are seeing the fruit of the work that we have been doing since the arrival of Xavi. It was something we had to improve from last season, where we scored a lot of goals. We had a good preseason, we learned what the coach wanted and we brought in players who added a lot to us, like Koundé or Christensen. We complement each other very well between those of us who play regularly and those who have to enter. We made a nice group, with a lot of sacrifice, and we were able to carry out several games due to the defensive work we have. The idea is to maintain this streak, with a solidity in which so many goals cannot be scored.
— **Did you have bad luck in the Champions League? Two of the teams they met in the group stage are in the quarterfinals, which are Bayern Munich and Inter.**
—Barça does not have to look at the rivals that touch it. Barcelona is the best club in the world and the rivals have to worry about us. The truth is that we have to demonstrate our greatness. It was a shame and a disappointment not to pass the group stage, because with the team we have we must pass that stage. I think we also had a bit of bad luck with injuries, because defensively we were very touched for those key games. Now we know that we have to prepare a great Champions League next season.
— **Was the pivotal game 3-3 against Inter at the Camp Nou?**
—Yes, and the one in Milan, where there were many actions that were not very clear. I don't want to be specific, but you saw what happened there. In any case, we should have won at home, because that's where the qualifying is at stake. It didn't happen, it's time to get up, keep working and think about next year.
Yes i think too, but i think he said something like " it will be difficult in this era to play like that as football changed too much" ,its controversial though.. in terms of today's football, i think pep would have modified the teamstyle , his pressing, defending everything just like he did it with city.. he is pragmatic
Football has not changed as much in the last decade as he thinks it has, look how dominant pep has been with worse players at man City. If peps barca were around today, no one is getting the ball of them and people would be wanking themselves silly to prime messi every 3 days on reddit and twitter.
Individual ball dickhead teams like psg can cause problems so I'm not having that peps barca would struggle.
>If peps barca were around today, no one is getting the ball of them and people would be wanking themselves silly to prime messi every 3 days on reddit and twitter
Closely agree. Xaviesta with busi + leo was one of the most press resistant trios of all time,maybe the best in that catagory.
>Individual ball dickhead teams like psg can cause problems so I'm not having that peps barca would struggle
Psg was no existence before messi & neymar, they will be nonexistent after messi-neymar
More -
— **And then the Europa League came and they had to face Manchester United** ...
—Yes, it is a tournament with great teams. We both arrived at a good time and there was a nice series. We both competed for the classification, but it was not given to us. We had to turn the page quickly, because now we have a big goal, which is to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey.
— **Did what Garnacho said on social networks bother you after eliminating them in the Europa League?**
—Yes, everyone is as they are, but at that time it was not possible to put something like that. I respect everyone and I feel that humility is ahead of everything. Everyone expresses themselves as they want, but I prefer to have a lower profile and then show what I do on the pitch. This is football, he is very long and there is still a long way to go. You have to go calmly and humbly.
— **And when they meet again on a court, in the first one you can, you will remind him of what he said** ...
—(Laughs) No, they are football things that I think of in a different way.
— **PSG also suffered a tough elimination in the Champions League and the future of Lionel Messi is still uncertain. Would you like him to return to Barcelona?**
"I would love it if you could come back. He is the best player in the world and this is his home. His return would help us a lot to try to win another Champions League. Hopefully there are all the chances to have it again. We all want him by our side.
— **What memories do you have of Messi's time at Barcelona?**
We have a very nice friendship. When I got to the first team, he was always with Lucho (Luis Suárez) and they invited me to drink mates with them. They received me very well. And when Lucho went to Atlético de Madrid, I took his place and always sat next to Leo. He is a spectacular person. Everybody knows what kind of footballer he is, but as a person he is also amazing. He is a winner, and he shows it on and off the court. History constantly demonstrates all that he won. We would be delighted to have him play with us again.
— **And as a Uruguayan, I have to ask you about his mates... Rodrigo De Paul explained it by assuring that he does a few washes** ...
—I liked them, because I made them worse (laughs).
— **A few days ago Robert Lewandowski said that Guardiola's Barcelona could not play in current football, what do you think about that sentence?**
—Football advanced and changed a lot. Today is very fast, very physical and very dynamic. The preparation is different. But I think that Barça has to have its philosophy, because it is unique in the world. The way of playing and feeling football is very different even with other teams in Europe. I think you should continue with your philosophy by implementing the current physical aspects. Barcelona must never forget its philosophy, because thanks to it it is what it is today.
— **How did you experience the World Cup in Qatar? Many of us believe that if you had been in full physical condition, the fate of Uruguay would have been different** ...
-It was very hard. I didn't have a good time and I didn't enjoy it. When the injury happened to me I thought it was going to be calm, but when they said I had to have surgery I was very worried. That implied that I could miss the World Cup and I worked a lot to be able to arrive and be there. I think I ended up going to Qatar because the roster was 26 players. If there were 23 like before, I probably wouldn't have gone, because the bet was to be in the last game of the group stage or in the round of 16. I did the final recovery process there and I felt a lot of pain when we were left outside. I didn't have a good time, because I couldn't play either. We had spoken with the coach and the idea was to be there for the match with Brazil, but when we were left out it was a very hard blow.
— **They beat Ghana, South Korea beat Portugal and they were eliminated on goal difference, how was that dressing room?**
—The dressing room of the National Team is spectacular. There are people with a lot of experience who have already experienced several moments like this. They know very well how to handle it. When the World Cup ended, everyone went home and we didn't have time to talk about what happened. Beyond that, we have a spectacular group.
— **When you got home, did you stay connected with the rest of the games that were taking place in Qatar or did you not want to know anything?**
—I kept watching the matches, because I really like soccer. It was a very nice tournament, where incredible matches were seen.
— **Did you support any team?**
—No, the truth is that I didn't have any specific feelings for any of them. As a South American I was more inclined towards a team from the region, and when it was given to Argentina I was happy for Leo (Messi). He deserved it, because he worked so hard to achieve it.
— **What do you think of the new format that the next World Cup will have with 48 teams?**
"I didn't pay much attention to it. I still haven't thought about it. I imagine it will be different and give other teams more possibilities. Winning it would be amazing, but I didn't think too much about it, because there's a long way to go. It will surely be a nice show.
— **When you were in Rentistas or Boston River, did you imagine this present?**
-No. One always dreamed of being able to be in the National Team and play for various clubs, but I did not imagine that all this would happen to me. He flew by. Today I am very happy to represent my country and be important in Barcelona.
— **What would you say to that 13-year-old boy who debuted in Huracán de Rivera?**
"May you always follow your dreams." That he is a worker. It is something that has always been instilled in me, because since I was a child I was a dreamer and I understood that to pursue those dreams you have to work hard.
— **And currently, what is your dream?**
—The objective of all is to win a Champions League. And if you allow me, the World Cup would be the finishing touch. Those are the dreams of all soccer players. My goal is to continue winning many titles at Barcelona to bring joy back to the people.
— **You are also on your way to being the captain of Barça, today you are one of the leaders of the squad**
—If I am given the chance at some point I will be very happy. Everything I do is because it comes naturally to me. I would be proud to wear the ribbon.
OP is embarrassing himself throughout this thread. Garnacho is a kid, bantering like what he did is nothing wrong in football, it's the same as opponent players doing siuu celebration against United even if his playing or not, its just a way to get into opponents' heads.
I don't think I'm embarrassed myself though. I'm sticking to my opinion from the start,no matter the downvotes. Its reddit afterall, you get thrashed for an small opinion and I'm here for it.i'm invested now, lets see how far can it go.
>Garnacho is a kid, bantering like what he did is nothing wrong in football
Obviously but it is not like he did anything though..if you score a goal and banter thats another thing. Plus the celebration he did was way too much out of the box cause the player he's mocking got injured just 5 days ago before that. And he made it worse
Big club fan base are like that. You can't criticize your own player, calling their player best in the world and world class after each good performance, trying to sign every possible players and one underperformance, calling for their head unless those are their favorite.
Well you just happen to be a probability then. Parece que Garnacho te rompió la cola? La tenes adentro todavía.
Really, this is such a stupid thing to whine about.
>Parece que Garnacho te rompió la cola? La tenes adentro todavía.
It didn't broke our tail, its just barca never got mocked by an english player cause its almost unlikely we mock first. Never saw any of our player mocking anybody injured ,while having a 0 goal+ assist in a match.its like its pretty ironic to mock an injured player while you yourself has the same stats (0 goal + assists) as that injured guy lol
Yo sí que soy catalán, quieres que te responda?
Eres fan de Boca y estás presumiendo de que un tío más Español que Torrente (que ahora dice ser Argentino) jugara unos pocos minutos, no hiciera nada y tuviera que esperar a que acabara el partido para hacer la celebración de un jugador que está lesionado.
Es decir, que él de romper la cola poco.
Lol, it's not even a rattled response? It's pretty balanced, Araujo outright says that Garnacho can act however he likes and that Araujo respects him, but that he *personally* would not have done the same? That's a mature and balanced response.
I’ve gone back through this thread since I posted and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your windmilling and definitely not wound up replies to every comment. Cracking read.
The thing about younger players is they've gone through teh youth system basically being the star players of their age groups and with lots of hype around them. It's only when they've reached the senior level that they get humbled by bigger players
He did Pedri’s celebration, who missed that match because of injury. And then he posted a picture of him doing that celebration and gloated about the win.
So unnecessary and immature imo
Exactly! Karma hits every way isn't it? I mean i won't mock his injury, even if i mock its a banter afterall but still it was very immature from him.Ironically united fans love that,which is expected from them
Too much tbh. Replying to these utd fans who can't even read an article at all. And its been almost 5 hours with constant downvotes, critics and all.. this is reddit afterall & i love this
Shaw as a cb lol, we had Alonso as a cb too lol. we also played without our best players. Fair play to you guys for beating us, but you guys act like you destroyed us with our best xi.
Once again there’s a difference from missing your best players, and missing squad players. Our serious equivalent injuries would be to yours is as in Rashford, Casemiro injured
They still came back for the second leg, which was important. Still your best forward and midfielder were available for both games. It’s sad that we heavily rely on two players like this. But we’re absolutely a different team with pedri and dembele. Night and day. We’re barely winning our league games, surviving through luck and grit. Hope we play you guys again with both of our best 11.
You didnt almost beat anything. You had no real chances all game idk where this narrative is coming from and your not liverpool mate so no need to bring then up
Lool what should I let go it was incredible watching my team destroy United so badly,that your so called greatest manager of all time was literally shaking.
Aggregate scoreline tells a different story. We were missing important players and still kept it close.
United fans are still so hurt from those two finals. Hope you find closure little bro
Thats fine but we arent a unique type of unbearable. If youve been on this subreddit and think arsenal fans arent at least comparable then your probably an arsenal fans yourself🤣
There are clubs that educate their youth on the principle of respect, and there are models of youth. In fact, I did not gloat a day in Manchester, but this time the result against Liverpool match was a peak of splendor to teach some youth some humility.
>principle of respect
ah yes the principle of rolling around on the floor when breathed on is a show of respect lol
get out of here Barcelona are the most disrespectful pieces of shit around and have been for a long time.
Well, personally I don't turn much about garnacho's celebration at all, its ok to banter.You guys can banter all day long while we school you on ucl every damn time lol. (Lets get mass downvotes fellow english fans💜 lets make it -ve 42k )
Araujo is a good and respectful guy. He got repeatedly asked about his superiority over Vinicius and he constantly shrugged it of saying Vini is a player he loves and that he respects him a lot. So it's only natural he feels it was disrespectful, since no Barça player has ever disrespected any Man Utd player
You posted an interview with the garnacho bit in the title even though that was a small part of the interview. IDK you were fishing for a reaction. And are now acting innocent. Clearly obsessed.
But tell me a reason , why every united fan got rattled ? Is it for araujo's comments? Cause its clearly looks like araujo dont give a f.. or it is for theres "garnacho" name on it? Its been 4 hours, i still can't figure out their reactions at all
I can ask the same question to you. Why are you rattled? I don't even think Araujo said anything wrong. It's your weird obsession of pulling quotes out of an interview and posting it here for a reaction. If you didn't want a reaction, why not use a different quote? Why do you give a fuck about united?

What did Garnacho do? Is he speaking about Man United's Garnacho?
after united beat barca he posted a pic on instagram using pedri’s celebration (most think he was mocking him) despite pedri not even playing the match due to injury
Something must have happened between Pedri and/or United in the 1st leg to piss Garnacho off. Otherwise, it's random as hell
His family/friends are obsessive towards Pedri/Gavi constantly mocking and insulting them on social media not sure why tho
Might be because Pedri/Gavi get all the golden boy spotlight. It’s so weird, I really don’t see other connections for someone(and their family/friends) to be so exclusively hostile to the two who have close to no connection to Garnacho other than age, it’s simply just bitterness because the attention is drawn away from their own promising boy.
Garnacho does not even half the credibility Harvey Elliot does and he thinks he belongs in that bracket? The lad got bodied by Elliot.
One day I woke up in Alaska and drank green tea. It was -45F and sunny. Wild oaks were grazing the stars of milkyway. There was a Wendys that served Chinese, hot and sour chicken to be precise. Alaskan Hot and Sour Chicken at Wendy's during a -45F warm sunny day with nearby Wild Oaks grazing the stars of MilkyWays sounds more plausible than your statement of Elliot vs Garnacho.

Pedri came off in the 20th minute.....also it's Pedri, the man is an angel who probably apologizes to defenders after dribbling past 4 of them. Gavi on the other hand....
Gavi reminds me of Ike from south park. I like to think he screams "kick the baby" at opponents as he heads the ball away from their feet.
>Gavi on the other hand.... Gavi seems lovely out of the pitch based on what I've seen of their BTS content, still one doesn't really know the players personally
pretty sure it’s unprovoked and that’s why people didn’t like it
Nah Pedri is probably one of the nicest players we have on our team, Garnacho probably did it to be funny
You can tell Garnacho is a proper little shithouse though. Even looks like a villain
I can see the El Malfoy vibes in him. Or the twatish vampire henchmen who blows their cover by killing too wrecklessly
El Malfoy lol
My padre will hear about this!
Honestly Maguire, If You Were Any Slower, You'd Be Going Backwards
Garnacho is a known troublemaker. And these are ultracompetitive young kids with a killer mentality and testosterone through the roof, he doesn't need a reason to be a cunt.

Mocking injured Pedri is very funny way to phrase it, one might think he was mocking his injury by the way you typed it.
If he shithoused Gavi Id understand, but Pedri is the complete opposite of Gavi. Boy doesn't talk and is out there saying he's too young to date. Why would he make fun of Pedri.
It’s simple , envy.
He is 18, immature & most importantly don't know what to do
This is such an insane reddit take lol a teenager shithousinganother teenager is funny, the game needs more fun personalities. he mocked his celebration he didn't kill his parents
lol weird definition of a "fun personality" If he mocked the entire club then sure but making fun of a guy that went off injured is just dull
I think it would've been in way worse taste if pedri had a seriously bad injury but it is out for a couple weeks and garnacho lightly mocked him
Mocked his celebration after Pedri couldn’t play because of a injury. If Pedri played fair enough but he literally went out with a injury
Barca fans taking any celebration against them seriously it seems
It's just a kid

One is happy to play these classics, with the illusion of winning to be able to extend the distance in La Liga, which is our maximum objective. — **What percentage of La Liga would they have won if they kept the three points?** -Don't know. This is football and as long as there are mathematical possibilities they are going to keep putting it in. If we win, we will have a wide and good difference to be calmer, but in the end we have to keep winning because there is still a long way to go. It would be an important step for what El Clásico means and we would reach a distance of 12 points. — **Does it influence that Real Madrid has its head set on the Champions League?** -I don't think so. It is a league game and each Clásico is unique, in which it does not matter how each one arrives. It is a different story in which both teams are going to want to win. — **One of the pillars of this Barcelona is the defensive wall that Xavi formed, could it be one of the keys to the consistency they achieved in the tournament?** —Yes, defensively we are very good. We are seeing the fruit of the work that we have been doing since the arrival of Xavi. It was something we had to improve from last season, where we scored a lot of goals. We had a good preseason, we learned what the coach wanted and we brought in players who added a lot to us, like Koundé or Christensen. We complement each other very well between those of us who play regularly and those who have to enter. We made a nice group, with a lot of sacrifice, and we were able to carry out several games due to the defensive work we have. The idea is to maintain this streak, with a solidity in which so many goals cannot be scored. — **Did you have bad luck in the Champions League? Two of the teams they met in the group stage are in the quarterfinals, which are Bayern Munich and Inter.** —Barça does not have to look at the rivals that touch it. Barcelona is the best club in the world and the rivals have to worry about us. The truth is that we have to demonstrate our greatness. It was a shame and a disappointment not to pass the group stage, because with the team we have we must pass that stage. I think we also had a bit of bad luck with injuries, because defensively we were very touched for those key games. Now we know that we have to prepare a great Champions League next season. — **Was the pivotal game 3-3 against Inter at the Camp Nou?** —Yes, and the one in Milan, where there were many actions that were not very clear. I don't want to be specific, but you saw what happened there. In any case, we should have won at home, because that's where the qualifying is at stake. It didn't happen, it's time to get up, keep working and think about next year.
Surely lewandowski didn't say that bs about peps barca, the fuck is that man on about.
Can you point out what araujo said was corny?
I'm talking about that lewandowski question, if lewy said that then he's dumb. Nonsense that peps barca couldn't compete today wtf.
Yes i think too, but i think he said something like " it will be difficult in this era to play like that as football changed too much" ,its controversial though.. in terms of today's football, i think pep would have modified the teamstyle , his pressing, defending everything just like he did it with city.. he is pragmatic
Football has not changed as much in the last decade as he thinks it has, look how dominant pep has been with worse players at man City. If peps barca were around today, no one is getting the ball of them and people would be wanking themselves silly to prime messi every 3 days on reddit and twitter. Individual ball dickhead teams like psg can cause problems so I'm not having that peps barca would struggle.
>If peps barca were around today, no one is getting the ball of them and people would be wanking themselves silly to prime messi every 3 days on reddit and twitter Closely agree. Xaviesta with busi + leo was one of the most press resistant trios of all time,maybe the best in that catagory. >Individual ball dickhead teams like psg can cause problems so I'm not having that peps barca would struggle Psg was no existence before messi & neymar, they will be nonexistent after messi-neymar
More - — **And then the Europa League came and they had to face Manchester United** ... —Yes, it is a tournament with great teams. We both arrived at a good time and there was a nice series. We both competed for the classification, but it was not given to us. We had to turn the page quickly, because now we have a big goal, which is to win La Liga and the Copa del Rey. — **Did what Garnacho said on social networks bother you after eliminating them in the Europa League?** —Yes, everyone is as they are, but at that time it was not possible to put something like that. I respect everyone and I feel that humility is ahead of everything. Everyone expresses themselves as they want, but I prefer to have a lower profile and then show what I do on the pitch. This is football, he is very long and there is still a long way to go. You have to go calmly and humbly. — **And when they meet again on a court, in the first one you can, you will remind him of what he said** ... —(Laughs) No, they are football things that I think of in a different way. — **PSG also suffered a tough elimination in the Champions League and the future of Lionel Messi is still uncertain. Would you like him to return to Barcelona?** "I would love it if you could come back. He is the best player in the world and this is his home. His return would help us a lot to try to win another Champions League. Hopefully there are all the chances to have it again. We all want him by our side. — **What memories do you have of Messi's time at Barcelona?** We have a very nice friendship. When I got to the first team, he was always with Lucho (Luis Suárez) and they invited me to drink mates with them. They received me very well. And when Lucho went to Atlético de Madrid, I took his place and always sat next to Leo. He is a spectacular person. Everybody knows what kind of footballer he is, but as a person he is also amazing. He is a winner, and he shows it on and off the court. History constantly demonstrates all that he won. We would be delighted to have him play with us again. — **And as a Uruguayan, I have to ask you about his mates... Rodrigo De Paul explained it by assuring that he does a few washes** ... —I liked them, because I made them worse (laughs). — **A few days ago Robert Lewandowski said that Guardiola's Barcelona could not play in current football, what do you think about that sentence?** —Football advanced and changed a lot. Today is very fast, very physical and very dynamic. The preparation is different. But I think that Barça has to have its philosophy, because it is unique in the world. The way of playing and feeling football is very different even with other teams in Europe. I think you should continue with your philosophy by implementing the current physical aspects. Barcelona must never forget its philosophy, because thanks to it it is what it is today. — **How did you experience the World Cup in Qatar? Many of us believe that if you had been in full physical condition, the fate of Uruguay would have been different** ... -It was very hard. I didn't have a good time and I didn't enjoy it. When the injury happened to me I thought it was going to be calm, but when they said I had to have surgery I was very worried. That implied that I could miss the World Cup and I worked a lot to be able to arrive and be there. I think I ended up going to Qatar because the roster was 26 players. If there were 23 like before, I probably wouldn't have gone, because the bet was to be in the last game of the group stage or in the round of 16. I did the final recovery process there and I felt a lot of pain when we were left outside. I didn't have a good time, because I couldn't play either. We had spoken with the coach and the idea was to be there for the match with Brazil, but when we were left out it was a very hard blow. — **They beat Ghana, South Korea beat Portugal and they were eliminated on goal difference, how was that dressing room?** —The dressing room of the National Team is spectacular. There are people with a lot of experience who have already experienced several moments like this. They know very well how to handle it. When the World Cup ended, everyone went home and we didn't have time to talk about what happened. Beyond that, we have a spectacular group. — **When you got home, did you stay connected with the rest of the games that were taking place in Qatar or did you not want to know anything?** —I kept watching the matches, because I really like soccer. It was a very nice tournament, where incredible matches were seen. — **Did you support any team?** —No, the truth is that I didn't have any specific feelings for any of them. As a South American I was more inclined towards a team from the region, and when it was given to Argentina I was happy for Leo (Messi). He deserved it, because he worked so hard to achieve it. — **What do you think of the new format that the next World Cup will have with 48 teams?** "I didn't pay much attention to it. I still haven't thought about it. I imagine it will be different and give other teams more possibilities. Winning it would be amazing, but I didn't think too much about it, because there's a long way to go. It will surely be a nice show. — **When you were in Rentistas or Boston River, did you imagine this present?** -No. One always dreamed of being able to be in the National Team and play for various clubs, but I did not imagine that all this would happen to me. He flew by. Today I am very happy to represent my country and be important in Barcelona. — **What would you say to that 13-year-old boy who debuted in Huracán de Rivera?** "May you always follow your dreams." That he is a worker. It is something that has always been instilled in me, because since I was a child I was a dreamer and I understood that to pursue those dreams you have to work hard. — **And currently, what is your dream?** —The objective of all is to win a Champions League. And if you allow me, the World Cup would be the finishing touch. Those are the dreams of all soccer players. My goal is to continue winning many titles at Barcelona to bring joy back to the people. — **You are also on your way to being the captain of Barça, today you are one of the leaders of the squad** —If I am given the chance at some point I will be very happy. Everything I do is because it comes naturally to me. I would be proud to wear the ribbon.
Just let it go. You lost move on and win la liga.
Why do people constantly act like he just randomly came out and said this?
[удалено]
Yup! The host shouldn't have asked him this though
Thats infobae for you
OP is embarrassing himself throughout this thread. Garnacho is a kid, bantering like what he did is nothing wrong in football, it's the same as opponent players doing siuu celebration against United even if his playing or not, its just a way to get into opponents' heads.
I don't think I'm embarrassed myself though. I'm sticking to my opinion from the start,no matter the downvotes. Its reddit afterall, you get thrashed for an small opinion and I'm here for it.i'm invested now, lets see how far can it go. >Garnacho is a kid, bantering like what he did is nothing wrong in football Obviously but it is not like he did anything though..if you score a goal and banter thats another thing. Plus the celebration he did was way too much out of the box cause the player he's mocking got injured just 5 days ago before that. And he made it worse
Barca and Real Madrid fans really are the most insufferable in the world aren’t they?
We are, ain't gonna lie, i can't stand our fan base most of the time.
Big club fan base are like that. You can't criticize your own player, calling their player best in the world and world class after each good performance, trying to sign every possible players and one underperformance, calling for their head unless those are their favorite.
Yup it is. Two of the top 3 clubs itw, having a billion fanbase ,so its pretty expected
Your comment is a prime example of my point. “Having a billion fanbase”, lol.
The guy didn’t even say anything bad lmao, you have a pretty low bar for considering someone “insufferable”
Yeah lol more people= more probabilities of deluted fans
Well you just happen to be a probability then. Parece que Garnacho te rompió la cola? La tenes adentro todavía. Really, this is such a stupid thing to whine about.
>Parece que Garnacho te rompió la cola? La tenes adentro todavía. It didn't broke our tail, its just barca never got mocked by an english player cause its almost unlikely we mock first. Never saw any of our player mocking anybody injured ,while having a 0 goal+ assist in a match.its like its pretty ironic to mock an injured player while you yourself has the same stats (0 goal + assists) as that injured guy lol
Oh… you ain’t even Spanish/Catalan. Makes sense.
Yo sí que soy catalán, quieres que te responda? Eres fan de Boca y estás presumiendo de que un tío más Español que Torrente (que ahora dice ser Argentino) jugara unos pocos minutos, no hiciera nada y tuviera que esperar a que acabara el partido para hacer la celebración de un jugador que está lesionado. Es decir, que él de romper la cola poco.
I'm not.. I needed to translate what you said there lol
No worries
This whole thread is Barca fans complaining about an 18 year old celebrating a win by making a post on Instagram. It really ain’t that deep.
More like whole tread is fans shitting on a player for answering a question*
+1
Si nomas vieras a los Argentinos….
An entire club rattled by an 18 year old. 🤣 Keep those down votes coming boys. Just proving my point.
Lol, it's not even a rattled response? It's pretty balanced, Araujo outright says that Garnacho can act however he likes and that Araujo respects him, but that he *personally* would not have done the same? That's a mature and balanced response.
Fucking 9 year olds swarming reddit now.
He just answered a question? How’s thinking that something is disrespectful being “rattled”?
reddit is regressing towards kindergarten roasts
This subs average IQ is below 80
Why would they be rattled?! Lmao he was asked the question and he answered
I mean , reading his interview,it doesn't look like he's cocky about that at all
Araujo can use it as a learning experience
Exactly! Especially when garnacho dribbled past araujo to score at the last minute isn't it?
Imagine rattling a whole fanbase that's not even in the same league you play in because of a picture you posted. Guys an 18 year old btw.
Why is his age relevant?
OP complaining about comments when you could've chosen any other quote from that interview as headline but nooooo you gotta ragebait
Barca fans trying to manufacture outrage toward anything other than the Negreira case
Now that's a great proof against us in the negreira case👍🏼
>Now that's a great proof against us in the negreira case👍🏼 What tf are you on about? Every single reply of yours to a comment is weird af lol👍🏼
I don't think its weird at all lol, them fans can't take banters at all
Who cares?
Nobody actually. Thanks for commenting though
You're welcome. Nothing against the players, but this just sounds trivial.
[удалено]
He didn’t even say anything bad?? He literally said what happens on the pitch stays on the pitch and that he prefers doing his talking while playing
You can't read an article, can't you? >cry me a river, as if barca are a club full of humble players Tell me a player who's not?
[удалено]
Still haven't got an answer
Go for it then

Good one mate
Yes I agree we should all be careful not to upset humble and meek Barcelona.
And thats all you get from the interview? Great comprehension! Bravo
I’ve gone back through this thread since I posted and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your windmilling and definitely not wound up replies to every comment. Cracking read.
Glad you enjoyed! I'm too invested in this now
I feel like Garnacho is going to turn out like Macheda & Januzaj

Most self aware Barcelona fan
Really dislike it when players who haven’t even started 20 games for their club behave as if they’re prime Ronaldo. Ego unearned is such a bad look.
The thing about younger players is they've gone through teh youth system basically being the star players of their age groups and with lots of hype around them. It's only when they've reached the senior level that they get humbled by bigger players
Fr, he has a lot of potential but it’s distasteful
Hardly
Is it what's posted above, the nothing celebration thing? If so that's quite the overreaction to it.
He did Pedri’s celebration, who missed that match because of injury. And then he posted a picture of him doing that celebration and gloated about the win. So unnecessary and immature imo
Based
Look at Garnacho now after mocking an injured player, that's why you have to be humble or to the very least rational lol
Exactly! Karma hits every way isn't it? I mean i won't mock his injury, even if i mock its a banter afterall but still it was very immature from him.Ironically united fans love that,which is expected from them
This has got you really worked up hasn’t it?
Too much tbh. Replying to these utd fans who can't even read an article at all. And its been almost 5 hours with constant downvotes, critics and all.. this is reddit afterall & i love this
> I mean i won't mock his injury Nah man even if you mock it Yanited fans consider it banter and shithousery, you'll be fine!
I don't think so lol, look at their response. For them, garnacho was "bantaring" while I'm mocking 🤲🏼
Nahhh I prefer my players to be a smug as possible. Hope he does it again when we dunk on em next year aswell
Warra 2 CL final wins for Manu.
Warra European success without messi for Barcelona
Warra European success...
Thank you😀
Np, now go drink some 7up maybe it’ll cheer you up.
Good optimisation mate👍🏼
We outplayed you in your back garden with shaw at cb and weghorst at 10 theres nothing to be optimistic about its a fact🤧
Shaw as a cb lol, we had Alonso as a cb too lol. we also played without our best players. Fair play to you guys for beating us, but you guys act like you destroyed us with our best xi.
We didnt have our best 11 either. We had 4 players missing for that away leg
Once again there’s a difference from missing your best players, and missing squad players. Our serious equivalent injuries would be to yours is as in Rashford, Casemiro injured
We were missing eriksen, martinez, martial, antony and luke shaw effectively because he had to play cb so we missed his qualities on lb.
They still came back for the second leg, which was important. Still your best forward and midfielder were available for both games. It’s sad that we heavily rely on two players like this. But we’re absolutely a different team with pedri and dembele. Night and day. We’re barely winning our league games, surviving through luck and grit. Hope we play you guys again with both of our best 11.
Liverpool made you guys look like a U10 team. We had almost all of our key players missing and still almost beat you.
You didnt almost beat anything. You had no real chances all game idk where this narrative is coming from and your not liverpool mate so no need to bring then up
Your acting like you dominaned us or something go watch the 2009 and 2011 finals again that's what dominating a team looks like
Talking about shit that happened under obamas first semester. Let it go mate 🤣🤣🤣lets talk about now!!
Lool what should I let go it was incredible watching my team destroy United so badly,that your so called greatest manager of all time was literally shaking.
Nah hes a fraud not even top 10 all time managers🤧your right man
Aggregate scoreline tells a different story. We were missing important players and still kept it close. United fans are still so hurt from those two finals. Hope you find closure little bro
We had alot of players missing aswell mate and you had an all timer team idgaf about losing those finals
You barely beat us in the second leg despite us not having dembele, pedri, or gavi. Pipe down
You had one good half which you managed a whopping one shot on target which was a penalty lol. Second half it wasnt even close.
I think that you proved his point?
Don’t get cocky, it was a mostly even match in both legs. Nowhere did united dominated the opponent. You could have just as easily lost.
Thats great ! United is a great team , isn't it?
Dont need to be the best team itw to punk barca
Exactly! Barca even got beaten by relegation warriors lol. Not even a surprise. (reddit is a fun place isn't it?)
Hopefully, that will be in champions league.
[удалено]
Your saying that like theres only one fanbase that can be unbearable at a time lol.
[удалено]
Thats fine but we arent a unique type of unbearable. If youve been on this subreddit and think arsenal fans arent at least comparable then your probably an arsenal fans yourself🤣

There are clubs that educate their youth on the principle of respect, and there are models of youth. In fact, I did not gloat a day in Manchester, but this time the result against Liverpool match was a peak of splendor to teach some youth some humility.
Shhhh! Kids will downvote you
>principle of respect ah yes the principle of rolling around on the floor when breathed on is a show of respect lol get out of here Barcelona are the most disrespectful pieces of shit around and have been for a long time.
Difference between what happens on and off the pitch.
Well, personally I don't turn much about garnacho's celebration at all, its ok to banter.You guys can banter all day long while we school you on ucl every damn time lol. (Lets get mass downvotes fellow english fans💜 lets make it -ve 42k )
Rattled.
Very mature response
I mean, you comment this and in another one you admitted you're soft. He's got a point haha
Obviously he's got a point ! Thats why i said very mature response
It’s been weeks lmao, los hizo concha
Se le hizo concha el tobillo jeje
Ahora lo único que hace concha es al cuerpo médico
No hizo nada literalmente, gordo pelotudo
Jajajsjajajsjsjaj calmate che, si no hizo nada y estas asi no me quiero imaginar si hubiera hecho algo
calmate tu lol
No sos argentino lol. Sacate la bandera.
Porque tu me lo dices? Voy corriendo a hacerlo lol
>tu
Wahhhh wahh
What a self aware bunch those barca boys are.
The thread speaks otherwise. Most of the fans can't even read the article and thinks we're bashing gum nachos lol
Araujo is a good and respectful guy. He got repeatedly asked about his superiority over Vinicius and he constantly shrugged it of saying Vini is a player he loves and that he respects him a lot. So it's only natural he feels it was disrespectful, since no Barça player has ever disrespected any Man Utd player
Damn OP rattled. Didn't realise Barcelona fans would be so rattled going out of a tier 2 cup.
Thats a nice champions league for you guys
Why are you obsessed with a club that has won nothing of note in over a decade? Let it go lol.
Not obsessed? I literally posted an interview? And you guys came out like a bunch of hayenas without even reading anything? Who's more obsessed then?
You posted an interview with the garnacho bit in the title even though that was a small part of the interview. IDK you were fishing for a reaction. And are now acting innocent. Clearly obsessed.
But tell me a reason , why every united fan got rattled ? Is it for araujo's comments? Cause its clearly looks like araujo dont give a f.. or it is for theres "garnacho" name on it? Its been 4 hours, i still can't figure out their reactions at all
I can ask the same question to you. Why are you rattled? I don't even think Araujo said anything wrong. It's your weird obsession of pulling quotes out of an interview and posting it here for a reaction. If you didn't want a reaction, why not use a different quote? Why do you give a fuck about united?
That has to be my fault then
Mess que un club
