Now Barca can register their new players and Madrid will have more money to spent on either Mbappe or Haaland.

CVC, a major sports investor, has been trying to strike similar deals with major leagues across Europe in recent years. It nearly reached a similar agreement with Italy’s Serie A for a share of that league’s media rights business before the deal faltered over objections from a group of teams. Something similar could happen in Spain, where the league, known as La Liga but encompassing the country’s first and second divisions, needs to secure the support of a majority of its 42 clubs at a general meeting to complete the sale.

Daka looks Lacey but has no clue what to do with the ball always hitting opposition players with it

The Barca match was terrible, as is their situation at the moment, feel sorry for F De Jong, he is an immense player and its sad to see him wasting his talent at the current situation with those guys.

 

Barca cannot even afford to sack Koeman 😂

Joke of a league, they postpone both the RM and AM games because the poor wittle babies have South American players who played internationally and dog forbid they have to do a work around like every other fucking team in Europe

Hearing Barca are now looking to give Xavi the job. They've been so weird with their managerial appointments in the past 20 years. It's always either former players, staff members or low profile La Liga managers.

Yeah, I was quite surprised too. Our manager lacks tactical knowledge? Let's pay to replace him with another one without tactical knowledge, but hey, he's a c l u b  l e g e n d

Funny how those old big clubs were totally left behind. Buying big names fm-style and expecting them to play whatever they want, with some "personality" motivator as a manager is a model stuck 20 years behind modern top football, yet they seem to still cling to it

Xavi is good. His team play good fútbol. 

I think he will do much better then outgoing manager.

I don’t think Xavi is really going to make an immediate impact or a huge huge improvement really in spite compared to how they were with Koeman because the team really is not good enough to compare with former Barcelona teams due to quality of personnel and aging members. They’ve got a lot of young guys but barring Pedri, Fati and Gavi none of them are exactly the sort of level where you go hmm few years that may give them something. They need to invest in some good players. 

Their identity situation is just like at United, their ex players and staff talk of the “Barcelona way “and same with the ex United guys with the “Man United way” but they will never successfully replicate that style with what they have right now.

Personally think people read too much into oh its Barca they have to play this way with 70% of the ball or its Man United they need to play with wingers and play this way. Ultimately they need to find ways to win as it is what is expected at these clubs.

No point losing games playing with the majority of the ball like they were with Koeman or trying to play “the Man United way” like with Ole. 

Plus like we seen with Villas-Boas and Sarri here, just because one style works in a less competitive league with one of the top teams, who’s to say it works with that team?

It is great that we won CL and have another shot this season because Madrid dominance is coming.

Vini Jr.   Benzema/Haaland   Mbappe 

Will be unstoppable.

They are so good this season but under the radar.

Also Simeone cannot really justify his big salary anymore. It is time for a change.
