Barça Maven

@NealGardner_ I feel like that’s who he is, a player that has some amazing skillful moments, but it’s the type of stuff very few can do on a game by game basis. It’s just when he doesn’t do those things, he doesn’t have a huge impact on the game.

It’s been two seasons of asking for this version of Dani Olmo of a remotely regular basis. It’s annoying because hes clearly ridiculously gifted.

@Bri_an2 Absolutely no one would’ve predicted we go undefeated with him as a starter in 20+ games, he’s been amazing

The most improved player this season He has genuinely been world class at times this season

@Noam5367 @dawn_of_africa @BouafifNour So what are you arguing about La Liga being overrated? It’s the second best league in Europe. The Bundesliga and League 1 are dominated by one team year in and year out.

@dawn_of_africa @BarcaMaven @BouafifNour Je peux le comparer cette saison car le coef uefa est assez serré et oui 8 c’est beaucoup effectivement

Wait, so if Rayo win the Conference League we’re really going to have 9 La Liga teams in Europe next season? Damn…

@elitelliZN “Nos” 😆

@BarcaMaven Que hace falta o que no hace falta? 😅

Ayer vi un tweet que decía que la una diferencia entre el PSG y el Barça es que el Paris si domina el mercado de Francia llevandose a los mejores jugadores de la Ligue 1, que estos años nunca ficharamos a gente como el pulpo Kondogbia o Rodri Hernandez me parecen buenos ejemplos

@elitelliZN Para mí Ratiu es un perfil que no hace falta y después Muñoz que puede jugar en las dos bandas y podría darle descanso a Raphinha o Lamine.

@BarcaMaven Alguno que te guste en particular?

@elitelliZN Exacto, hay varios ejemplos de jugadores que fichamos a precios accesibles y terminaron siendo importantes como Rakitic, Alba y ahora Joan, o incluso jugadores como Sylvinho o Keita que te ayudan a tener más profundidad en la plantilla.

Si hablamos de este mercado podria hablar de Ratiu, Jon Martin, Affengruber, Carlos Romero, Luis Milla, Aleix Febas, Pape Gueye, Abde, Victor Muñoz o Muriqi Por suerte la mayoria si que se han rumoreado y el éxito con Joan Garcia deberia marcar el camino del mercado nacional

@elitelliZN Por la situación en la que estamos hay argumentos para tirar la Copa del Rey. Por ganar la final te llevas solo €1M, en Champions solo por ganar un partido en la fase de grupos te ganas €2M, no digamos llegar a las semis o una final. Ahí es donde deberíamos rotar más.

Si es por mi el proximo año hay que arrancar como una moto buscar el 19 de 19 en la primera vuelta de la Liga y la Liguilla de la Champions con rotaciones. Mira donde esta el PSG jugando dos años seguidos los Play Offs y el factor campo no importa una mierda

@BouafifNour Eto’o, he pressed like Raphinha, having those two up top would be next level.

Besides Luis Suárez and R9, if you had to bring back one former Barça striker in his prime to solve our current striker issues, who would you pick?

@ReshadFCB So we negotiated a contract without Flick’s ok? How am I suppose to believe this.

🚨 JUST IN: Bastoni is waiting for Barcelona to make a proposal to Inter so he can speak with its management. He has already said YES to a contract till 2031 and awaits his dream move. Barça says 3 things: 1) Priority is a forward, 2) Flick must give the final OK, 3) Difference to sort in price valuation. @martinezferran #Transfers 🇮🇹

@Midfield_Jorgio @hiltond13 @muhammadbutt Ha, so it’s not impressive to be ahead of the “King of Europe” by 14 points in a league they also play in? Somehow La Liga is a joke but consistently has teams in the later stages of the the UCL and Europa league. I honestly feel kinda bad you can’t enjoy winning another title.

@BarcaMaven @hiltond13 @muhammadbutt Elite European teams have only 1 title that matters. League titles are only impressive in real leagues. La Liga= joke. This is why Madrid is the King of Europe, not for winning Leagues against part-time farmers. Barca will forever be in their shadow as they steal CL Cups & Glory

Road wins at Getafe and Osasuna, plus 10 straight league wins for the 1st time since 2016 is a huge accomplishment for Hansi Flick. Don't be blinded by UCL negativity - one of the best league campaigns of the 21st century

@Vfynn_ This dude just has AI make up things to say and quotes it to a famous player or coach… trash

🚨🎙️| Ronald Koeman on why Alessandro Bastoni isn’t a necessary addition for FC Barcelona: “Look, I know people love Bastoni. They see a left-footed centre-back who can pass and suddenly he’s ‘perfect for Barcelona’. But football is not just about looking elegant with the ball, it’s about what you do when everything is falling apart. I’ve watched Bastoni closely, the hype is ridiculous. Barcelona doesn’t need him, and I’ll tell you why. At Inter, he plays in a system that protects him a lot. A back three, very structured, very disciplined. There’s always cover. At Barcelona, you don’t have that safety. You defend big spaces, you get isolated, you are responsible. And that’s where I have doubts. When Bastoni is under real pressure, you can see it, he hesitates. Against quick attackers in open space, he’s not the fastest, and that becomes a problem. In Spain, teams will target that immediately. You can’t hide it. And yes, he’s comfortable on the ball, but sometimes too comfortable. He takes risks in buildup that look nice when they work, but when they don’t, you put your whole team in danger. At Barcelona, one mistake like that is a goal. For a player of his size, I also expect more aggression, more dominance in the air. Sometimes he looks passive. You need defenders who enjoy the ugly side of the game, duels, second balls, leadership. I don’t always see that hunger with him. People also talk about him like a leader, but I don’t see him commanding a defence consistently. At Barcelona, centre-backs must organize everything. You don’t wait for others, you are the one others follow. For me, he is a player who looks better because of the system around him. When the structure is perfect, he looks top. But when the game becomes chaotic and at Barcelona it often does, you see the cracks. So no, I don’t think Barcelona needs him. They don’t need another defender who looks stylish; they need someone who is ruthless, dominant, and ready to suffer. Bastoni, in my opinion, is more about style than substance when it really matters. That’s why I don’t see him as a priority for Barça, no matter how popular his name is right now.”

@Midfield_Jorgio @hiltond13 @muhammadbutt It’s for the top teams in Europe yet Dortmund who finished 5th in the Bundesliga made the final, Inter didn’t win anything last season but they made the final, it sucks but the best teams don’t always win it…

This is not Burnley. Winning a league against 1 team isn’t an accomplishment. Barcelona FAILED.. Again. The CL is for the top teams in Europe and we are failures there. No one wins a BallonDor to winning a league. No one cares. Season ended with Cubarsi’s red. “Getafe” “Osasuna” - third world teams.. what happened against Inter? Or Atleti??? Yea, garbage against real teams when it matters. Season=FRACASO

@RafaelH117 For real, I can’t stand barça fans trying to tell others it’s been mediocre.

There’s just so much to be happy about this team, unbelievable league season.

@NealGardner_ I’d rather keep Cancelo, Grimaldo chose to leave and not come back several times now. Cancelo can also play as an RB too.

Here’s the big Q: Let’s say they both cost €15m or there abouts. Would you rather we sign Grimaldo or push to keep Cancelo?

🚨 Looks like the club is briefing this to the media: “Barcelona will return to the 1/1 this summer and will be able to undertake operations normally — the league is also very optimistic.” #FCB 💼🔵🔴💰

@elitelliZN Yo vengo diciendo que hemos sido el 3er mejor equipo de Europa estas dos temporadas pero ha muchos catastrofistas aquí….

Hay un problema muy gordo de mentalidad en el Barcelonismo. Sale Lluis Carrasco a tirar que va haber una venta dolorosa que lo ultimo que acertó es que Figo se iba al Madrid y todo el mundo a hacer sus quinielas y a querer echar a todo el mundo por cromos de los que se aburridan a las dos temporadas. El calvo vegano se adelantó a todos una vez mas haciendo el video de que solo necesitamos estabilidad, nada de 6-8 fichajes son 2 fichajes estructurales y el resto es retoques adicionales pero hay que tener claro que estamos a 2 fichajes de poder ver mas partidos como el de ayer entre Bayern y PSG (incluso con la plantilla actual ya podemos jugar estos partidos) No os dejeis intoxicar ni envenenar, no es ganar hoy solo es ganar hoy, mañana y pasado y pasado, sobre todo porque se viene la mejor generación de canteranos de nuestra historia en combinación a que la guarderia de plantilla que tenemos a dia de hoy tendrán todos entre 26 y 28 años jugando en el que va a ser el mejor estadio del mundo generando el maximo de ingresos, no os lo cargueis antes de tiempo, hay que ser fuertes entre nosotros y que no afecte el ruido externo. Como bien dijo Laporta en su vuelta “Estimem al Barça”, eso significa defender nuestro estilo, nuestra identidad, nuestros jugadores (sobre todo los de La Masia) y nuestra Directiva, si nos atacan tanto es porque nos tienen miedo, quiero superar esas 8 ligas en 11 años y esas 3 Champions en 6 años, estamos muy cerca de volver a la excelencia.

@BouafifNour For sure, I think at the end of the day you can’t both be wasteful on offense and make huge mistakes on defense. If one of those didn’t happen, we’d be through.

@BarcaMaven But even with the red cards we created more than enough chances to win

Did PSG defend well? Not really. They were exposed, conceded multiple big chances at home, and even with a two or three-goal lead, they still looked vulnerable. Yet they won, why? Because they were far more clinical than Bayern. That’s exactly my point about our elimination in the UCL. I’ll keep saying it: this is why we went out against Atleti. Not because of the high line or some defensive collapse, but because we didn’t take our chances. This style of football, what Flick, Enrique, and Kompany all lean towards, is about outscoring the opponent. And if you miss a lot of chances, you’re not beating anyone.

@sozirv @Goldy3223 He literally helped do something that’s only been achieved twice in the team’s whole history and you’re here saying you didn’t enjoy that… I feel bad for you lol

@Goldy3223 He had the three best players in the world for more than two years

I respect Luis Enrique and right now he’s one of the best coaches in the world, but honestly didn’t like his time at Barça at all , This guy treated Barça like some kind of testing lab not to mention those terrorist signings he was making ( Gomes , Mathieu ,Alcácer etc )

@NealGardner_ Switch Rashford and Raphinha and we’re good.

Y’all see my vision for the Clasico?
