🚨🗣️ Thierry Henry on why the rules in the UEFA Champions League seem inconsistent whenever FC Barcelona are involved: “Listen… I’m sitting here watching these two pictures and I’m genuinely asking myself — are we watching the same sport or is there a secret rulebook that only gets pulled out when Barcelona are playing in the Champions League? Look at the first one. [First picture] Involving Dembele and Davies where the ball hits his body, flicks up and brushes his arm. According to IFAB’s own handball law: if the ball hits another part of the body first and then the arm, it’s generally NOT a handball. Clear as day. But what happens? Penalty to PSG. Straight up given. Now flip to the second picture. [Second picture] Gavi is literally hits the ball directly to the goal post in the box, an Atletico player is flying through the air, arms everywhere, ball hits the hand in the middle while’s trying to intercept the challenge… and silence. Nothing. Not even a look from the referee. Play on. Same competition. Same competition stage. Same handball rules supposedly. But somehow the standard changes depending on who is wearing the Blaugrana. Why is the rule suddenly flexible when Barcelona are involved? Why does the interpretation become stricter against us and mysteriously lenient when others do the exact same thing — or even worse? I’ve been in this game a long time. I know referees are human. But this isn’t human error anymore. This is selective application. One team gets the “letter of the law”, the other team gets the “spirit of the game” nonsense that conveniently goes against them. Fans are not stupid. We see it. Year after year in the Champions League, the rules feel random… until you notice the pattern. When it’s Barcelona, suddenly the IFAB guidelines grow legs and start doing gymnastics. Keep the same standard for everybody or stop pretending there is one. This is why people are angry. This is why trust in the game is dying. If it was your club, you’d be fuming too.”

Gavi is a managers dream in every day possible. Incredible, incredible personality to have around the squad.

I’ll tell my kids that this is the man that decided to leave a prime Bayern team to join a rebuilding Barca squad and brought them back to the top. - 188 games - 118 goals - 24 assists - 3x La Liga - 3x Supercopa - 1x Copa del Rey - 1x Pichichi winner Barca legend, forever 💙❤️

This kind of blows my mind.

If it's indeed a torn hamstring, and not a strain, Yamal's WC could be in danger. If it's a complete tear he likely won't play it. If it's a partial tear then he may make it in time (depends on how bad it was + recovery).

I fear we’re being too ‘charitable’ with exits. Offering Lewy a renewal, trying to do the same with Christensen, it makes no logical sense. I suppose it’s alright if you can get Lewandowski to sign on a massive pay-cut, but I doubt that happens.

Shouldn’t have even offered him a renewal tbh. No disrespect, he’s been a sensational signing, but it’s quite clearly time to move on. Hope this was just out of courtesy and there are no more offers on our end.

🚨😎 Raphinha: “We will comeback, for SURE”.

❓Do you consider yourself the best player in the world? 🗣️Lamine: “These are things that don't concern me. What concerns me is winning tomorrow.”

IF Madrid drop points today, I don’t want to see a single starter on the pitch tomorrow.

🚨 Hansi Flick when asked about Real Madrid and Arbeloa comments on Barça: “I don't waste my energy on that. It's his opinion, I focus on my team”. “We have to focus on ourselves, not on what Real Madrid do”.

This one goes way too hard.

The return of red.

Cubarsi… a regular starter since 16, unduspited for Flick, and now pretty much a regular for Spain too. One of the most accomplished U20 CBs ever.

Hell Offset might owe me some money now that I think about it
