Not a fairytale, more that with having been papped out of the CL Xavi needs to win La Liga for the club to retain any credibility. Particularly given the financial hoops they’ve jumped through recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Particularly given the financial hoops they’ve jumped through recently. I feel the "financial hoops" have cost them any "credibilty" to the outside eye. Don't get me wrong Real Madrid have carried out various nefarious financial schemes in the past. Both still running the European Super league baton. I hope they fall on their faces with that latter one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Barca been taken to extra time in their round of 32 Copa del Rey tie against CF Intercity, sounds more like a Scottish casuals group from the 80s then an actual football team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 An absolute belter of a goal from Ansu Fati to put Barca back ahead in the Super Cup semi-final. On BT Sport if anyone is interested. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 A footballing masterclass from the 18 year old Gavi tonight, against Madrid in the final of the super cup. The boy is everything the English media hoped Phil Foden would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 I have a subscription for Viaplay for Scotland National Team matches but for the first time I stuck on a La Liga game on tonight (Villareal v Vallecano) and was surprised to see the in play graphics. They are a little bit meaningless, but are part of an ongoing evolution of football and I think they were done reasonably well. I assume this is something put in place by LaLiga TV and not Viaplay and we won't therefore see these sort of graphics for March's Scotland National team games. I put a small video showing some of them for anyone who hasn't seen them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 In Italy, Juve were demoted a division in 2006 for similar deeds. There's no talk (yet) in Spain of punishing Barcelona like that, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) I came across a cool program on LaLiga Tactics called Notes of the Week where Andrea Orlandi (Swansea, Brighton) and Albert Ferrer (Chelsea, Barcelona) examined Real Madrid's attempts to use the left side, Antoine Griezmann's positioning for Atletico Madrid and the channels that Barcelona looked to progress the ball via Eric Garcia (Long Diagonals) and Andreas Christiansen (Slide rule pass). Sorry about the lack of sound and low resolution, I was just testing something else out while recording this.

JMDPco Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Probably the most enjoyable night in a long time at the metropolitano last night. Simeone taking his 613th game in charge making him the manager with the most games in the club's history. Atleti thumped Sevilla 6-1 and played some great stuff along the way. Memphis second goal, Griezmann's goal and the assist from Griezmann for Morata's first were exceptional. Atleti unbeaten in eight now - seem to have found the right system and reminding me of the year before winning La Liga last. Still capable of of the odd comedy performance but pretty close to being a very good side. Sevilla were absolutely terrible. All over the shop defensively and right in the mix to go down. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 (edited) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64918604 BBC giving updates on the FC Barcelona-related prosecutions there. Something very helpful to this is that the whole thing is a fully sealed off Catalan affair. The payments were first reported on by Catalan media and all criminal investigations have been Catalan. There has been no Madrid input anywhere, which prevents the (not unreasonable) accusations of bias that would've been made. Edit: Publicly revealed evidence so far doesn't implicate Joan Laporta much, although there are questions for him to answer from his first presidency in the 2000s. Josep Bartomeu and Sandro Rossell are looking most guilty. They're Barca's most recent and second most recent presidents before Laporta's current, second stint. Rossell has been jailed before for fraud so hardly surprising. Then Bartomeu was so wildly incompetent as president that him also being a cheat would fit too.
