I mean the same people who defended Koeman using the squad's quality, he paid from his own pocket and the fact that he took the club when nobody wanted to take as the excuse can't wait to pass judgements on Xavi after his 5 matches where for people who can see there are already few improvements over Koeman. It's actually not surprising how they can't wait to say "I told you so" after just one month of Xavi when he has taken over a worse squad than Koeman had when he started. We got eliminated from the CL this season after we got hammered 3-0 to Benifica not on MD5 or MD6. No one expected us to win and even I was disappointed with Xavi's tactics and system, his attitude shows he will and wants to learn. The rebuild was gonna take time but under Xavi, we will do it the right way. We are progressing, it's slow, we must be patient and understand that whatever happened was a culmination of a lot of other factors that have happened for more than half a decade. Sit tight and enjoy the journey. Edit: Bayern had 5th worst XG against us yesterday and their press were season high against us. The positive: We actually competed for 90 minutes yesterday.
Former Barcelona player Junior Firpo on Ronald Koeman. "I kept asking Koeman for explanations until one day he started lying to me. He tells me things that don't make sense, things like that I train badly or I have a bad influence on the group." "I got to lose the will of playing football. There were things that I did not understand and in certain moments I felt disrespected. I will never understand that after a match when the substitutes trained, Koeman used to stay in his room."
@@srijanpandey5238 I've always felt bad for Junior. He was never supported by the club, by Koeman, and by the fans. He never got a real chance to actually prove his worth to us, and before that could happen, he got sold to Leeds.

As a Liverpool fan, I remember the days where we were battered 6-1 by Stoke and looked decades off qualifying for the CL again, let alone winning it. Dark days like that only make me appreciate the great squad they have now, and you Barça fans will feel the same one day. You're Club is a pillar of football excellence and you'll be back sooner than you think 🔴👊
Yes we were and we will be there in barca’s high and lows, and when barca will conquer Europe again we are the one who will deserve all of the joys because when you can’t be there in the lows you don’t deserve to be in the highs. Visca el barca❤️💙
Honestly after a damning defeat it feels soothing to talk to people who love this club and to listen to them too. Thanks for making this video jamie hopefully we recover from this mess soon🙏
We will shaheer.....this is the lowest I've felt in the thirty odd years I've been supporting this club, but I feel that with the men at the helm we have an opportunity to build something new, something great again🙂. Have faith culé......FORČA BARCA!!!!
@@culezurri yeah man but lets hope for the very best honestly I lost hope with bartomeu and his board because they themselves didn't want to do anything about it but with Laporta and his team Yuste Almeny Xavi I believe we can build something beautiful. Also one other thing is that with each passing day we are linked to some players players whom other clubs probably have a lot more than us are chasing too so I think that this is an indication that the management is trying to find out options and eventually lets hope they will
It’s definitely heart-wrenching to see the club we all love go through this. However, it’s always good to come to some acceptance that we were struggling to compete at such a high level, that the downfall was inevitable after EVERYTHING that has happened to this day. Watching Barça matches feels painful only because there’s a feeling of uncertainty. The reality check came yesterday, and although we all like to wonder what would’ve been, we must accept that this is a building process and have, most importantly, PATIENCE. As hard as that is, honestly. I firmly, and whole-heartedly, believe that Barça will come back from this. Especially under Xavi. I don’t place a single ounce of blame in him because I trust that he will lift us up once again. Good days are ahead, we just need to wait. Thank you for your remaining optimistic attitude, Jamie! We all need it, and Visca El Barça❤️💙
I called it every season that Barcelona is finished and they will be in europa and everyone in the comments trash me lol. Club has no future, no money, no young talent that will take the team to UCL finals the club PROVED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Yesterday, I was completely numb. I woke till 4 AM just to watch the match. I watched Barca to enjoy football, to get away from the daily life stress. Muller summed our situation perfectly. As we saw, we cannot rely on players like Alba and Pique, it's not like they're not committed enough, but they cannot play at this level, combined with players that do not give a fuck. It'll not be so easy but as Jamie said, we cannot just sit around and watch!!! Signing Torres is now gonna be more difficult in January. Let's just hope, we can come out of this shithole of a situation
Most of these players were there when we lost to Roma 5 SEASONS AGO and they're STILL HERE SMH. Their mindset, their confidence is rock bottom. As soon as we go 1-0 down, they know it's over. Not even Pep or Klopp can save these guys cuz they've been through 5 humiliations and it seems like nothing can save them. Look at Ter Stegen, that's just not him. Football will always be about your mentality approaching each game and these guys mindset is too bad.
Absolutely true especially our defence, they are now just scared of facing big teams and players like pique,lenglet,alba ter Stegen, Roberto, I think these players destroys mentality of everyone in the midfield and in the rb position. Fuck just sell them all man
I'm emotionally destroyed but never for a moment doubted my loyalty to the club. I'll always be a Culer no matter the situation. But this situation is really hurting.
If you have a player like Lenglet who rests his hand on Lewa's shoulder after a match like this you can imagine where your club could end up. We need to get rid of shit of this sort if we really want to get back on track.
The thing is Muller knows our problems better than us ....and that's what is eating me ...like an opposition player can see what's wrong and we can't ....how far has bartemeo made us fall 🥲🥲

Everybody knew Lenglet doesn’t have a heart for Barca…and he has degraded so much rn…some of the players are like this only….I thought this is where Barca was different from the other teams..the players should have emotion
He should be booted out , not sure how he can start for our team , we have accepted mediocrity as normal , mayn cannnot jump to stop a cross , pathetic , we have better defenders in the B team than shit Lenglet , Iam a big fan of this club , but it really is depressing to watch Barcelona matches now

@ Liverpool We buy defenders but very young ones like Araujo, Todibo, etc. because we train them to be good on the ball to fit our system and be long term options. The only defender that matched our profile in last years was De ligt but he chose Juventus. It's hard to find very good CB's outside Barca.
@@srijanpandey5238 its not he chose juventus.. Its barca offered like 1 million + break fast coupon.... Jokes apart.. This is what barca did.. Thats why he chose juventus.. Barca did the same with alaba also... And keeo playing with same shit pique and lenglet...
Intensity... yeah we haven't seen that in years. I remember watching players like Macherano, Puyol, Rafa Marquez, ronaldinho, Victor valdez and many of our successful forwards in that era.... they we're fearless and would throw themselves to win the ball any cost. Battered and bloodied they'll play on. So much personality from Victor Valdez, ronaldinho, Dani alvez, Macherano, Luis Enrique, kluivert and the list goes on and on. Our players now have become too elegant, too professional and it seems to be all about the glitZ and Glamour which is long gone. I see a squad of generally good tacticians who can play possession without intense press but fold under pressure and relinquish all defensive responsibility once the ball passes them. Let the old boys show what it means to wear the Badge
We gotta stop focusing on these forward signings and worry about the back line tbh Araujo is literally the ONLY one back there that actually looks like he cares
Agree 100 percent.. our CB’s are trash starting with Eric Garcia. Pique is way passed his prime. We should try umtiti one last time. Lenglet what can I tell you
@@diegom460 Eric garcia neeeds a prober chance though. He is still Young and have a whole lot of time to improve. Our other defenders on the other hand......pique is a legend and plays on very little salary so im not really mad at him. Araujo is our Best player and he should be our main focus on getting a nee contract.
Dropping to the Europa League is an embarrassment. However what’s the point of advancing into the next stage other than for the money? Just so we can get destroyed again? I think that it will serve Barca some good- give them time to rebuild and a mental break from the previous champions league traumas.
@@lorde5140 we obviously need the money but that ship has sailed. I’m stating reasons that could serve barca well to be disqualified from the champions league OTHER than money
@@AJ-lh4fp better lose 10m and have the youngsters learn to play under pressure against worse teams and be better for next season than drop out of it after 1 game against liverpool/city/chelsea or whoever
I remember a few seasons ago, losing to Levante 3-0 and noticed exactly what Muller said. Once a team takes the game to is we struggle and many times crumble under the pressure. Sometimes players are just walking around the pitch. We aren't feared, we aren't respected and I doubt we're going to be seen as a challenge after this. I hope Xavi can change this.
Its not only defense its the link between defense and mid field. Defenders can only do so much. Just look at araujo he is such a good defender but still, our defense is the same.
If you have a player like Lenglet who rests his hand on Lewa's shoulder after a match like this you can imagine where your club could end up. We need to get rid of shit of this sort if we really want to get back on track.
You just nailed it Jamie. We need to be ruthless. We will rise again together. People who criticized Xavi, I dont want to be judgemental but seriously. If you are truly Barca fan you must have known by this time who is responsible. If you dont know cheer for other team.
Rabiul Islam Muller said it all I been saying this over and over people was keep blaming Ronald Koeman.Ronald koeman did well with this shit team am so happy now Jamie seeing now what Ronald Koeman went through glad others eyes are opening to Xavi this Barcelona team as Ronald Koeman said is not the team when Xavi was a player Xavi since Koeman didn't get the chance to buy proper players he Ronald Koeman got rid of players I know Xavi couldn't change anything with this team dont know what people think Xavi is but Xavi from me to you this team need a over haul same how Messi went Griezmann went Xavi your work is easier Koeman dont do the hard work get rid of the other dead wood Xavi and get a brand new squad starting from January do what ever to get rid of these players
@@thehourmusic4530 ok , I hear you. But upset us when you talk about Koeman he will not do the sub on time. Example puig. As a coach he cant hold against anything. He wi not change players on right time and his strategy, he was totally ignoring Barca philosophy
Bro I understand but not even Xavi will put his trust in Puig I respect your view bro but for me winning is everything philosophy is good but base on the players you have and so on as I say before Koeman did good getting rid of certain players is Xavi turn to get rid of certain players to get things going so Barcelona can reach untop again
islam bro let's not call names all I said he Koeman got rid of players an is Xavi turn to get rid of certain players and do what must be done to get Barcelona back untop
Something that struck me watching the game yesterday was all the players that was played out of position. Araujo, Dest, Mingueza was really out of position, Depay(winger, not a real number 9), de Jong (cdm when he played for Ajax and the reason we bought him), Dembele (is always at his best on the right wing), Coutinho (on the left again, how many times have we tried that and it has never worked). I know it's necessery sometimes but yesterday was kind of ridiculous don't you think?
We needed a defender with pace against Davies and sane so araujo and dest had to be there, Since dembele dont really defend. We needed dembele on the left because then he could use his pace against pavard who is really slow instead of having to try to outpace Davies which is almost impossible. We dont have a 9 and that is why we tried to use depay as that. Mingueza i dont know why Got on, i would have choose balde everyday of the week. If we played de jong on cdm where would we play busi?
@@Waluigi-vr4qz i understand that but my point is that the whole team is unbalanced. How are we supposed to be able to play even decent when most of the squad is basically playing scared. And Busquets time has passed, it's time to move on.
This was the first time where I tuned out of a barca match. I sat through every second of the 8-2, every second of koeman, setien and Valverde. This last match, I couldn't. These players have to start being blamed, there's no hiding behind coaches anymore.
@@sumanmuzik5472 who else? araujo needed to be right back because dest cant be trusted there, balde is not a cb, mingueza well you saw what happened, and umtiti is still a major doubt
This is the first time in years that after a devastating loss like this one, I haven't blamed the manager one bit. There's no more masking how far we've fallen and blaming it on one person. This is a collective responsibility and it's up to everyone involved within the club to change the situation around.
I have already been told many many times that a great team needs a superstar. Let Messi go for free was the beginning. And then bringing players like Memphis, Aguero, Luuk De Jong was another mistake. Now Barca does not need to buy any players, it"s too late. At least 30 % of fans are gone. And all sponsors are gone too.
As messi once said people should appreciate they won when they won as fans had no idea how hard it was to win trebles as in years time I will be difficult to even fathom and how right he was right but the messi had to leave barca sooner or later he is getting older and a sporting plan needed to be in place maybe since 2016 nothing was done and as a result this happen but barca will be back
@@peterbachtiar4185 Memphis, Aguero, and Luuk were brought in supposedly to play along with Messi and Griezman. So the only real mistake was letting go Messi and Griezman at the same time although it's understandable for their financial reasons. At least Laporta should've told Koeman that both Messi and Griezman may not be available in any days so he could have prepared differently.
We are living in the history books, the first year after Bartomeu🤡, first year without Messi👑 and first year under Xavi🧠 Simular to the 2003 season🤷♂️ We will Get back boys, Even though this is rough😪
Yes. the most similar year to the current situation is the 2002-2003 Barca. At that time Rivaldo had just left for AC Milan and the team was not able to score many goals any more. In a similar way as Messi, Rivaldo carried Barca and scored most of their goals for years. Still in that year, we were able to advance to the quarter finals of champions league; we beat Inter 3-0 and we narrowly lost to Juventus in the quarter finals. I remember that game and we did not deserve to lose! The year after that, Ronaldinho came and things got better and better. Today's Barca is really an average team in Europe. They are definitely not among the top 4 strongest teams in La Liga and that says a lot. We need quality players and money and we are out of both!
@@sobhan32 Problem is when messi left players like Alba, Busquets , De Jong are exposed as their main link up man is gone and they became more clueless. Shows how much they relied on messi and without him how they are struggling inspite of messi decently adapting to PSG's style. Hope they either regain or better to bid goodbye to the club.
I don't know, but I'm not really that hurt. Deep down I am disappointed, but I knew we wouldn't win even though I wanted us to. I think Europa league will help us sporting wise. It will take off some of the pressure so that Xavi can really work with this team. I will just try and enjoy the journey back to top, it will be an exciting one.
That was my thought. Round of 16 from the back door would be meaningless. Continue to play at the European level (Europa), great for our younger players and shoot for a top 4 finish in La Liga. CDR also available. Be ruthless, sell the deadwood, break contracts Umtiti and Co., and let the players go to arbitration down the road. Contract should be low base and and mostly for performance.
Your comment made me smile but i was reminded of how we expected barça to get back on track after every humiliation but they never did and now i think we are on our way to become the next ac milan. So keep your hopes low brother
I chose this club when I was six because I found them interesting, now at 15 nothing can take away my love for this club. I’ll always support Barcelona till I take my final breath. We will comeback. And be fucking scary.
From best to hit the rock bottom...I don't how to react, the rage I feel yesterday I just can't express to see my fav club declining is the one of the worst things in my life 😭

Hello dude. I do like your videos and i usually agree with you, but I don't agree that we need to buy players to "score the goals". It is a problem to score goals yes, but we should build the team from behind to front and it's been 4 or 5 yers that we should have invested in defenders and not forwards or middfields because our defence is pure garbage. Per example, instead of buying Griezmann, which is a player that I really like but didn't suit our team at all, we should have spent only 100M€ or even the 120M€ on a really good top tier center back and a right back (a good one, Dest is not good enough). Also we need leaders, true leaders! Liverpool bought VVD and it changed the defence completly because he could lead the defence. You can buy Haaland, Mbappé and all this wonderkids/top tier forwards, that you wont win a single trophy with this defence and without Messi.
Yeah nice insight I agree with you. Our defence is our biggest problem. Idk why pundits or even the coach doesn't seem to understand that we need good backline to win a championship not some fancy wonderkid. I believe that our midfield except Busquets is absolutely fine, young and creative talents.
@@akashbiswakarma8604 unbelivable Xavi still starts Busquets. he was nowhere to be seen and De Jong was doing all the covering work. De Jong, Gavi, Nico, Pedri, Puig, our midifeld is actually really good.
tbh, if laporta was buying the players in the bartomeu era he would've got frenkie and de ligt in de same transfer window instead of going for a coutinho or griezmann
We bought Luis Suarez and Neymar and it worked out pretty well for us, i agree with you what has to be done in terms of rebuilding but a proper signing for a striker can do wonders…
Former Barcelona player Junior Firpo on Ronald Koeman. "I kept asking Koeman for explanations until one day he started lying to me.

Anybody with a footballing brain could tell Barca was always going to struggle in the UCL after the first Bayern loss. Barca's issues are not recent, and they are far more structural than any fan may care to admit. Xavi was NEVER going to turn this around mid-season with the current squad, and the club will have more highs and lows throughout this season - just look at the performances. The best thing to do now is to look to the future, for club and country
I just wanted to say we need big transfers. this is not anymore tactics issue , we need player who actually wll goal for the team without any doubt. Best of luck 👍
Our conditioning is always still lacking. We must wait a bit longer until we are able to be on par with other teams because these players are still used to other poor training regimens
@@danielhiguita5511 actual smart transfers. Coutinho was never gonna work he doesn’t fit our system, dembele is unfortunate bc of injuries that our poor training caused, and griezmann was also not going to work because he’s not a striker which is why we wanted him, same with depay.
I doubtI'd we could even win Europa if we play like this, man gavi crying made me 😔,. I've always said " the sun will shine on us " , but man this night is quite long for me to handle

Hey Jamie. I agree with you on what you've said but Muller's goal wasn't the fault of Lenglet. It was Mingueza's error. If you watch the replay, Lenglet was covering the defence centrally cos Pique was with Lewandowski and pointed to Mingueza to cover the run of Muller cos he saw him coming from the left but what did Mingueza do?? He was ball watching and let Muller jump before him.
100% agreed. Lenglet wasent even that bad in this game. There were many players that were Way worse. Not defending him or anything, but we cant only use him and ter stegen as scapegoats.
we need a striker and a centerback! xavis ideas can only work if we have the right players who 100% fit! players like depay or coutinho just dont fit and have to go!
The lenglet one is nothing for me, klopp had a smile and laugh when Liverpool lost 3-0 against us…so I don’t have anything against lenglet being happy…why would you really want someone to feel depressed and angry over a game. I’m a Christian and what I pray for is for everyone to be happy and mentally stable at the end of the game no matter the result.
It does however show that it doesent mean the World to him, which it should if he plays for Barca. Getting to Europa league is extremmely embarresing. If you Saw busi and pique they were almost ready to cry. And thats the difference thye actually care. Nothing against lenglet though its his job, i just dont Think he and a whole lot of other players have the mentality you need for Barca
Jamie, you're a rare gem and a TRUE CULÉ. Thanks for the excellent work. Candidly, Barca's crisis was initiated by Sandro Rosell, magnified by José Maria Bartomeu and unfortunately, it's now a LIVING NIGHTMARE. Both men had NO VISION for the club. They gradually destroyed the IDENTITY of this illustrious club. It's important that Laporta and Xavi should work together to reinstate or reinforce the VALUES of the club that have been lost over the years so that the next generation of La Masia graduates will have hope. I believe that things will get better under Xavi. As Barça fans, we will have to eat our humble pie and be patient. Furthermore, Xavi has got to make some firm decisions on players who commitment to this club is questionable. Players with wrong attitudes shouldn't be wearing the club jersey, regardless of how talented they are. I'm glad Xavi said this is the start of a new era. He MUST match those words with corresponding actions. I will remain a loyal and ardent Barça fan. Barça will RISE AGAIN. VAMOS 💪💪💪 VISCA EL BARÇA.
Well done! We have played Bayern with our veteran, we lost 8-2. We played with our rookies and still lost 6-0 (on aggregate).We have been coached by Mr. Setien, Mr. Koeman and Mr. Hernandez and still lost. The problem is fundamental and I think it is time to twik our tiki taka. This days, football isn't rocket science. 1) Barcelona has been playing for years without a DMF. 2) High line of Bayern's defence forced us to play tiki taka in our half. 3)The only way that defense could be broken down was by a) using speed to connect with the ball when it is dropped behind the line. Yet, not one barca player could outrace his counterpart from Bayern, (not even Dembele). The other option was to shoot from outside. The boys obviously don't know how to shoot. Hence, their inability to create chances.
I am glad he called out all the players like in half time. He is going to clean house nobody is safe. He told them everyone in the locking room straight they don't know what means to wear that jersey Its going to be some hard times ahead and we just need to give Xavi time. Been following Barca since 1999. I will keep supporting Barca through good and bad.
Things that aren't being said by YOU and I prefer consistently. • Xavi picking Jordi Alba, rushing him back. Koeman did this and you were absolutely hammering on it. . Jordi Alba doesn't pick himself in the starting 11. I saw a tweet where he might be out till januari and another were Xavi wants to shut him down for the whole season. • picking Mingueza as a LB, we saw how that went the previous time and yet still Xavi picked him. Could've just put Balde in. • We need scoring midfielders & wingbacks/fullbacks. We depend on our forwards too much, we can't even score to save our own lives right now. • Yes the Europa League is a tier below our standards but it's reality now. To my we might not even win it, THAT would be embarrassing. BUT if we win it, go into the summer and get some reinforcement, summer planning, workouts and we beat the Champions League winners in the UEFA European cup doesn't that make us kings of Europe? (There is some upside and optism you can look forward too) • This might be a Liverpool, AC Milan or Inter Milan rebuild • The sooner a lot of players leave the better we can build and I'm talking about senior players and fan favorite players too. I normally don't write these long comments but these things need to be said. I hope Jamie reads this comment and not just the negative and jolly happy ones. But the sooner we realize what state we are in, the better.
Outside of Pique and Busquets I wish we had even one player with half the grit, drive and dedication -- not to mention loyalty -- of Thomas Muller. I agree that goal summed up a lot about Barca right now.
*About Demir* Salah really got his beast-mode much later, joining Liverpool from AS Roma we clearly see Demir is a Diamond let him rotate and do his thing *seriously*
Stop that fucking shit, everyone has been here for the Liverpool, Roma, Bayern, Bayern, benfica, Bayern shit what makes the fans real again. You are these fans are part of the reason as the suffering makes you think you are real fans.
Braithwaite was really promising against Sociedad, he’s the no 9 we’re missing. Jamie since we’ve entered the UEL for the first time in 17 years, I am honestly scared of facing either Dortmund, Porto, Sevilla (UEL masters), and I am honestly scared from playing against west ham, we could genuinely face David Moyes of all people in the UEL, let’s not underestimate him, he’s doing a damn good job at west ham, this is y I am scared from them for the first time in several years
I've been saying it for years, Barca always struggle against teams who play aggressive with high intensity. Busquet is the weakest link against such teams and he is the anchor of our midfield but he's old and very slow now and he couldn't do much when no one cover for this weakness. Meanwhile our other midfielders simply don't have creativity and physicality which means our mid is completely dead and exposed. Also there are players like Lenglet who just don't understand what it means to play for Barca... I feel like some of the players have developed such loser mentality that it's okay to lose... We need to stop starting old players like Busquet and start unloading overpaid players who don't contribute anything and don't fit our system at all.
Bayern fan here, this vid, don't know why popped up on my recommended but alright, to all barça fans reading this I can just say... Right now you are not going through the brightest moments, some teams and fans are talking banter and enjoying in banter. However in a serious note, be strong, I know you guys will come back, in realistic terms I could say barça (maybe I am wrong) will take around 7 years to rebuild and be in full winning form. That said I think this will give Barça a new era, a new future, something new to look forward to since you have many talents. I hope you guys come back, although in game we are rivals, off the field I undestand your situation. I can only tell if you are strong, if you persevere and be resiliant you will come back in one piece and be successful once more. Mia san mia and Força Barça! I sent my kind regards👋
I really can't sleep last night.... 😢... I wish there's anything I can do to help the team now ...I swear I'll help ...even if it's my penny that will do much ... IS THERE ANY WAY?
Sad for Koeman. It is naive too think that was the problem (and disrespectful to Koeman). At least he was realistic and honest about the status of the team. I hope the team starts to believe in themselves soon, grow confidence, and hopefully, the club does some wise investments.
Muller was spot on with his analysis. To be honest, it was the more experienced and long time Barca players were the problem. Pique, Busquets, Lenglet, DeJong, Depay, and TerStegen all put in a somewhat anemic effort, in my opinion. I thought the Barca youngsters put in a better effort in garbage time. Xavi has a huge task ahead of him. Remember, just because Xavi was a legendary player and deeply cares, doesn’t mean he is capable of getting the job done.
We shouldn't blame a single player. It's not their fault they aren't good enough. It's the management and sporting department's fault who chose to maintain these players and not replace our legends with good players by intelligent scouting.
if the youth academy was used properly for years, we would not be in debt and also have some of the older talents already playing well in the team and older players transitioned out of the team
We need to renew Araujo before any other teams want to snatch him away. It pisses me off that so many “finished” players demand such high wages yet the players making the difference hardly get paid. I hope things go well for us and we can offload some players with huge wages this winter to really help us and give us some breathing space
Honestly there isn't a single spot which we cant upgrade massively. Last night Bayern didn't have a midfield(Tolliso plus Musiala as CDM) but still dominated our midfield of 4 . Starting with Ter Stegen we need to replace all the squad with better players by actual scouting.
I know everyone wants to use ter stegen as a scapegoat now, but do you really Think he is our biggest problem. We need a 9, we need wingers, we need a cb, we need new rb and lb.

When Fc Barcelona get humiliated I feel so much hurt but by far I even love the club even more and more. Jamie always gives me more hope that things will soon get better whenever I listen to him. VISCA BARCA VISCA CATALUNYA
Muller stated the truth! no matter how we receive it! there were some players who didnt care! they dont know what barca means...thats why we need to build our own talent...who knows what it means to play for barca! We need to take some decisions! we will be back for sure
I am not a big fan of Mueller (great player, I am just not a fan), but he is so spot on and I didn't find it at all offensive. I think a lot of players outside of Barcelona in world football want to see them to do well (just as it would be a shame to see a team like man city or bayern hit the blows of our club currently) and it was a wake up call of reality
There are definitely some players that need to sold this coming transfer market. Which includes Lenglet(just not a Barca player) , Alba ( we without a doubt need a LB), Pigue (he is great CB but he doesn't have it in him anymore), Coutinho (just didn't work out as expected), Umtiti (it's a 50/50 because he hasn't played under Xavi yet).
Honestly, Depay isn't a threatening forward, he's notta forward that defenders fear. A good defense can easily mark him like he's nothing. Look at Halland, Mbappe, Salah, Vinny Jr, Messi, Ronaldo, Rashford, "prime Suarez", Ronaldo Nazario, Van Basten, Fernando Torres, Deigo Forlan, etc......Depay is good in some areas but not the actual one we need. I personally feel Grizzy is better than him becuz Grizzy actually helps out a lot defensively.
I don't know how we are getting worse in UCL since 2019, like corner-taken-quickly was a ritual for a curse, because that was a semi final, the next year in 2019/20 we got demolished in the qf, last season, earlier this year we got destroyed by Mbappe in the RO16, now Bayern have crashed us out at the group stage. WTF🤦
barring last year’s defeat to PSG, since our 2015 treble win our UCL campaigns get perfectly progressively worse. 2-0 to Atleti, ok, tough defeat. 3-0 to Juve, embarrassing scoreline. 3-0 to Roma, embarrassing choke job. 4-0 to LFC, even MORE embarrassing chokejob. 8-2 to Bayern, worst defeat in club history Now Knocked out of CL group stages, knocked at the earliest stage. Judging by this pattern, what’s next in store for us next season? Are we gonna be knocked out of our Conference league group?
Last time went out of the UCL Group Stages-2000 After that 6 years later we won our 2nd UCL... Sit tight ladies and gentlemen, we shall share our joys again when we hopefully win in 2027. I have a question Jamie, have you ever considered doing watch-alongs but I love the content regardless
At that time we were sill fun to watch. Rivaldo was scoring amazing goals! The team has always been super reliant on a super star: Ronaldo--> Rivaldo --> Ronaldinho --> Messi. Who is next?
Let us come back again.This is the reality rn.Barca will become dominant in the next 3-4 years again.We will make the comeback with a strong and competent team don't lose hope guys.Visca el Barca .This is the time we have to support our club💙❤
As a Bayern fan: Thanks for giving props to Thomas Müller for his honesty. I know his words probably hurt, but he didn't mean to rub salt into the wound, he respects Barca's rich history and was simply being honest. I mean: Look at the physical intensity and also at the hunger for success that the Bayern players had, compared to the Barca players. Bayern were already guaranteed 1st in the group before the game yet still fielded their best squad and were hungry for the win and for goals, even after going 3-0 up. Just watch the reactions of the players when Sané misses the 95% chance to score the 4th goal: They were incredibly disappointed despite it being almost entirely irrelevant if they score more goals or not - they just have that absolute drive to succeed as much as possible. I didn't see that in most Barca players.
Yes the Europa League sounds a little embarrassing for a club like Barça but IMO it is not the end of the world at all. This team is in a building phase and not ready to compete in the CL yet, so the EL is prob a nice competition where to practice at an appropriate intensity for right now (well, hopefully Barça can compete in the EL lol). Gotta go step by step. Also, a lot of English teams are in EL often, like Chelsea who won it in 2019 (now the CL champion), United, Arsenal, Liverpool in 2016, etc. Heck, the Spurs are in the Conference League.
Football has changed. Barcelona plays the old style tiki taka. They don't move around. When you watch Bayern, what I see is, individuals move the ball in spaces when they see an empty space. That helps to advance the ball up the pitch. Barca only wants to pass the ball around. You don't see any one utilizing any space and taking ppl on. This is also why barca scored a lot in the Messi era. Messi would run with the ball, which usually open up spaces.
Xavi needs to make the big decision about removing that defense coz there is no way a club like Barcelona can have the same defense that lost to Roma 5 years ago still playing regularly
Once again, Lenglet made zero errors this game. His passing was on point, there was simply no way for him to get to that ball that Muller headed that you keep blaming him for. It wasn't his man to mark in that moment. That was Mingueza. I don't know how much football you play, Jaime, but whether we're talking about football or tennis, or any other ball sport, the reason that lobs are so effective in every sport when executed well is this: in the words of my own coach, "it's easy to run forward to the ball, but much *much* harder to backtrack for a ball." This is why tennis players only go forward when they know they've created a strong advantage. This is why footballers don't run backwards to receive passes but try to time their forward run to meet the ball. This is *why* Muller made his run clearly *behind* Lenglet. Who TF anticipates such a perfectly executed lob pass? 95% of the time, Lenglet would have been in position to intercept the ball. You can say what you want about his attitude after the game, but his performance this game was solid. He was at fault for nothing and he broke the Bayern lines time and time again with his passing. Nothing revolutionary, but good progression.
Also, again you don't understand what Braithwaite has to offer. He may not be quite as technical as we might want, but he is the exact profile of forward player that Xavi needs. Someone who will stick to his role and be in the right position. He is the player who will be at the far post to tuck the easy ball away when the other "winger" cuts the ball across.
Xavi is there for the long run. I was not too keen on some of his choices yesterday. Araujo felt lost at right back. Mingueza is an awful left back. But we need to give him time to rebuild. I hope Pique sticks to his own words after the 8-2 that he would go if he is part of the problem. In modern football we cannot play with players who cannot cut it physically anymore like Pique and Busquets. They will always be legends but all these losses I feel are tarnishing their legacy. The club could well use saving up on their salaries.
There was no one else to replace Alba. Araujo was solid enough on that wing. If anyone was going to hold the side it’s him. My only issue was Dest on right wing.
Jamie. It's kinda harsh to blame that Muller's header on Lenglet. Muller was Mingueza's mark and his bad positioning caused that goal. Don't forget that Koeman repeatedly yelled at Mingueza's positining before. Lenglet stayed central and was ready to clear the second ball so he was alright.
I was really hurting when Barcelona went out like that last night, going to work this morning was not so nice but I made peace with the fact that we need change. We need to put our trust in Xavi and believe and hope for the best. We had to go to our lowest to really open our eyes.. God knows best.. all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦Barcelona forever 💙❤ 🙏🏼
I mean just look at the equipment Bayern uses in training, preping etc.. Just go on their channel and sneak peek.. Then come back and look at the kids games we play in our trainings. Never be poor or in debt in life.
This is so sad really sad. It's not like I did not expect it before match but not only the performances has dropped but players passion is dead as well. Same defence Alba - Lenglet - Pique... I mean fuck me i don't wanna talk same. I just can't believe how ter stegen could not save it or I just can't understand the reaction from de jong after that goal went in, he just slept on ground like baby on the 44th min as he himself don't believe in anything idk it's so sad man. What Muller has said about us is just so truee, we are still totally attached to technicality and tactics we have to evolve just look outside football is not same. If you want something, you have to add something new. This is the lowest now. we have the coach that cares good management and what we need is some time. Believe it.
I see a lot of people here blaming players and past coaches for the horrible performances we've been getting from Barca in recent years, and rightly so. However, it seems these folks are quick to forget that we've been having difficulties competing at top level in the Champion's league even while Messi, Suarez, and Iniesta were in the team. We performed horribly against Juventus (2016-2017), Roma (2017-2018), Liverpool (2018-2019), and Bayern (2019 - 2020) consecutively in the tournament, conceding tons of goals. So, if the problem is intensity related, doesn't that point at both a playing style/coaching issue?
I am not surprised, I expected lot worse. It was coming for us but now we have to be strong and give all our support to barca. I trust Xavi and we gonna rise again. My heart is broken but I always gonna be there for our club. Visca El Barca. 💙❤️

I woke up sick…😔 This is not normal honestly. Worryingly, West Ham at the moment is a better team than we are 🙆♂️ I still think MAT should sit on the bench POR FAVOR AND for the other players taking this club for a joke MUST suffer the consequences ⚔️ Finally we will only be back for ME in about five years 😔 Yes we have these amazing youngsters but I constantly say their PHYSICALITY & DISCIPLINE needs to improve. (No reckless fouls, no foul throws, no lack of communication) please guys and thank you so much Jamie for providing this stunning loyalty 💙❤️🙏
I was raging when I saw Lenglet smiling, I thought I was the only one. We've been embarassed in this competition for years in a row now, but this was the heaviest defeat for what it means. I get it if you're not expressive and aren't crying out there after this happens, but to actually have the audacity to smile like that is just unacceptable. I for one didn't mind Lenglet's performance today, he was fine, but that mindset 👎
As long as players like Lenglet and Mingeuza play for Barcelona nothing is going to change. They have no respect for the crest they represent. I can overlook any defeat, no matter the score, but Lenglet’s attitude after the game truly shows what’s he’s about. A player like that will never give it his all nor does he have what it takes to play for a club like this. Once again not to bring up the defending on Muller’s goal where they did not even bother to jump. Incredible. Speechless.

We're all hurting right now... so let's talk about it.
Big thanks to you guys for tuning in at the moment 🙏
I mean the same people who defended Koeman using the squad's quality, he paid from his own pocket and the fact that he took the club when nobody wanted to take as the excuse can't wait to pass judgements on Xavi after his 5 matches where for people who can see there are already few improvements over Koeman. It's actually not surprising how they can't wait to say "I told you so" after just one month of Xavi when he has taken over a worse squad than Koeman had when he started.
We got eliminated from the CL this season after we got hammered 3-0 to Benifica not on MD5 or MD6.
No one expected us to win and even I was disappointed with Xavi's tactics and system, his attitude shows he will and wants to learn. The rebuild was gonna take time but under Xavi, we will do it the right way. We are progressing, it's slow, we must be patient and understand that whatever happened was a culmination of a lot of other factors that have happened for more than half a decade. Sit tight and enjoy the journey.
Edit: Bayern had 5th worst XG against us yesterday and their press were season high against us. The positive: We actually competed for 90 minutes yesterday.
Siempre es cule😭
I still won't stop following this team
Former Barcelona player Junior Firpo on Ronald Koeman.
"I kept asking Koeman for explanations until one day he started lying to me. He tells me things that don't make sense, things like that I train badly or I have a bad influence on the group."
"I got to lose the will of playing football. There were things that I did not understand and in certain moments I felt disrespected. I will never understand that after a match when the substitutes trained, Koeman used to stay in his room."
@@srijanpandey5238 I've always felt bad for Junior. He was never supported by the club, by Koeman, and by the fans. He never got a real chance to actually prove his worth to us, and before that could happen, he got sold to Leeds.
Honestly I don't even feel bad after the match, I already saw it coming. After the night in anfield, everything else feels like nothing
Don't mention it.. Valverde picking Roberto over Semedo and in that moment when I saw it my heart sank

Good. I glad you are prepared for more disappointments.
I'd takee braithewaite 10 times over over many of our current players. He has passion and always works hard, something most our squad is lacking.
Braithwaite is sheet

Braithwaite is the ideal professional for any club. You should watch his documentary on his Instagram, very inspiring
Just because he's not playing now. Lol

I believe the lowest was after Rivaldo left. We barely won in that season.
It’s definitely heart-wrenching to see the club we all love go through this. However, it’s always good to come to some acceptance that we were struggling to compete at such a high level, that the downfall was inevitable after EVERYTHING that has happened to this day. Watching Barça matches feels painful only because there’s a feeling of uncertainty. The reality check came yesterday, and although we all like to wonder what would’ve been, we must accept that this is a building process and have, most importantly, PATIENCE. As hard as that is, honestly.
I firmly, and whole-heartedly, believe that Barça will come back from this. Especially under Xavi. I don’t place a single ounce of blame in him because I trust that he will lift us up once again. Good days are ahead, we just need to wait. Thank you for your remaining optimistic attitude, Jamie! We all need it, and Visca El Barça❤️💙
I called it every season that Barcelona is finished and they will be in europa and everyone in the comments trash me lol. Club has no future, no money, no young talent that will take the team to UCL finals the club PROVED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
UEFA is a scam they put us in the group Munich
Yesterday, I was completely numb. I woke till 4 AM just to watch the match. I watched Barca to enjoy football, to get away from the daily life stress. Muller summed our situation perfectly. As we saw, we cannot rely on players like Alba and Pique, it's not like they're not committed enough, but they cannot play at this level, combined with players that do not give a fuck. It'll not be so easy but as Jamie said, we cannot just sit around and watch!!! Signing Torres is now gonna be more difficult in January. Let's just hope, we can come out of this shithole of a situation

Most of these players were there when we lost to Roma 5 SEASONS AGO and they're STILL HERE SMH. Their mindset, their confidence is rock bottom. As soon as we go 1-0 down, they know it's over. Not even Pep or Klopp can save these guys cuz they've been through 5 humiliations and it seems like nothing can save them. Look at Ter Stegen, that's just not him. Football will always be about your mentality approaching each game and these guys mindset is too bad.
Absolutely true especially our defence, they are now just scared of facing big teams and players like pique,lenglet,alba ter Stegen, Roberto, I think these players destroys mentality of everyone in the midfield and in the rb position. Fuck just sell them all man

Well said
problem with koeman is his atitude. his tactics also have no direction
@ Liverpool We buy defenders but very young ones like Araujo, Todibo, etc. because we train them to be good on the ball to fit our system and be long term options. The only defender that matched our profile in last years was De ligt but he chose Juventus. It's hard to find very good CB's outside Barca.

@@srijanpandey5238 its not he chose juventus.. Its barca offered like 1 million + break fast coupon.... Jokes apart.. This is what barca did.. Thats why he chose juventus.. Barca did the same with alaba also... And keeo playing with same shit pique and lenglet...
Intensity... yeah we haven't seen that in years. I remember watching players like Macherano, Puyol, Rafa Marquez, ronaldinho, Victor valdez and many of our successful forwards in that era.... they we're fearless and would throw themselves to win the ball any cost. Battered and bloodied they'll play on. So much personality from Victor Valdez, ronaldinho, Dani alvez, Macherano, Luis Enrique, kluivert and the list goes on and on. Our players now have become too elegant, too professional and it seems to be all about the glitZ and Glamour which is long gone. I see a squad of generally good tacticians who can play possession without intense press but fold under pressure and relinquish all defensive responsibility once the ball passes them.
Let the old boys show what it means to wear the Badge
I knew we were gonna get battered long before the game but it still hurts. Sad seeing how far this club has fallen
Yeah me too but had a glimmer of hope idk why but still had that hope
We gotta stop focusing on these forward signings and worry about the back line tbh Araujo is literally the ONLY one back there that actually looks like he cares

I remember a few seasons ago, losing to Levante 3-0 and noticed exactly what Muller said. Once a team takes the game to is we struggle and many times crumble under the pressure. Sometimes players are just walking around the pitch. We aren't feared, we aren't respected and I doubt we're going to be seen as a challenge after this. I hope Xavi can change this.
Our problem has been our defense for years! YEARS!!! Now we’ve added another one our front line. We can’t score now.
Plus now our goalkeeper
Its not only defense its the link between defense and mid field. Defenders can only do so much. Just look at araujo he is such a good defender but still, our defense is the same.

Something that struck me watching the game yesterday was all the players that was played out of position. Araujo, Dest, Mingueza was really out of position, Depay(winger, not a real number 9), de Jong (cdm when he played for Ajax and the reason we bought him), Dembele (is always at his best on the right wing), Coutinho (on the left again, how many times have we tried that and it has never worked). I know it's necessery sometimes but yesterday was kind of ridiculous don't you think?
We needed a defender with pace against Davies and sane so araujo and dest had to be there, Since dembele dont really defend. We needed dembele on the left because then he could use his pace against pavard who is really slow instead of having to try to outpace Davies which is almost impossible. We dont have a 9 and that is why we tried to use depay as that. Mingueza i dont know why Got on, i would have choose balde everyday of the week. If we played de jong on cdm where would we play busi?
@@Waluigi-vr4qz i understand that but my point is that the whole team is unbalanced. How are we supposed to be able to play even decent when most of the squad is basically playing scared.

@@sumanmuzik5472 who else? araujo needed to be right back because dest cant be trusted there, balde is not a cb, mingueza well you saw what happened, and umtiti is still a major doubt
This is the first time in years that after a devastating loss like this one, I haven't blamed the manager one bit. There's no more masking how far we've fallen and blaming it on one person. This is a collective responsibility and it's up to everyone involved within the club to change the situation around.
I have already been told many many times that a great team needs a superstar. Let Messi go for free was the beginning. And then bringing players like Memphis, Aguero, Luuk De Jong was another mistake. Now Barca does not need to buy any players, it"s too late. At least 30 % of fans are gone. And all sponsors are gone too.
As messi once said people should appreciate they won when they won as fans had no idea how hard it was to win trebles as in years time I will be difficult to even fathom and how right he was right but the messi had to leave barca sooner or later he is getting older and a sporting plan needed to be in place maybe since 2016 nothing was done and as a result this happen but barca will be back
@@peterbachtiar4185 Memphis, Aguero, and Luuk were brought in supposedly to play along with Messi and Griezman. So the only real mistake was letting go Messi and Griezman at the same time although it's understandable for their financial reasons. At least Laporta should've told Koeman that both Messi and Griezman may not be available in any days so he could have prepared differently.
We have the same backline since Roma in 2018!! How insane is that for a top tier club like barca. And still no solid rb since Alves left
We are living in the history books, the first year after Bartomeu🤡, first year without Messi👑 and first year under Xavi🧠
Simular to the 2003 season🤷♂️
We will Get back boys, Even though this is rough😪
Bartomeu is the big problem, yes. But the one who created the problem is Sandro Rossel. I hate him.
Yes. the most similar year to the current situation is the 2002-2003 Barca. At that time Rivaldo had just left for AC Milan and the team was not able to score many goals any more. In a similar way as Messi, Rivaldo carried Barca and scored most of their goals for years. Still in that year, we were able to advance to the quarter finals of champions league; we beat Inter 3-0 and we narrowly lost to Juventus in the quarter finals. I remember that game and we did not deserve to lose! The year after that, Ronaldinho came and things got better and better. Today's Barca is really an average team in Europe. They are definitely not among the top 4 strongest teams in La Liga and that says a lot. We need quality players and money and we are out of both!
@@sobhan32 Problem is when messi left players like Alba, Busquets , De Jong are exposed as their main link up man is gone and they became more clueless. Shows how much they relied on messi and without him how they are struggling inspite of messi decently adapting to PSG's style. Hope they either regain or better to bid goodbye to the club.
@@sobhan32 Barca will rebuild itself, it will just Take time. The size of this club is enormous.
Just watching your videos makes us feel positively about our future!
Visca barca!💙❤️
I don't know, but I'm not really that hurt. Deep down I am disappointed, but I knew we wouldn't win even though I wanted us to. I think Europa league will help us sporting wise. It will take off some of the pressure so that Xavi can really work with this team. I will just try and enjoy the journey back to top, it will be an exciting one.
That was my thought. Round of 16 from the back door would be meaningless. Continue to play at the European level (Europa), great for our younger players and shoot for a top 4 finish in La Liga. CDR also available. Be ruthless, sell the deadwood, break contracts Umtiti and Co., and let the players go to arbitration down the road. Contract should be low base and and mostly for performance.
Your comment made me smile but i was reminded of how we expected barça to get back on track after every humiliation but they never did and now i think we are on our way to become the next ac milan. So keep your hopes low brother
Take the pressure off? You do realize that we are under pressure of losing to Europa League scrubs? That would be an even bigger embarrassment.
I chose this club when I was six because I found them interesting, now at 15 nothing can take away my love for this club. I’ll always support Barcelona till I take my final breath. We will comeback. And be fucking scary.
Same bro
From best to hit the rock bottom...I don't how to react, the rage I feel yesterday I just can't express to see my fav club declining is the one of the worst things in my life 😭
Rock bottom
Would be getting relegated…
If you have a player like Lenglet who rests his hand on Lewa's shoulder after a match like this you can imagine where your club could end up. We need to get rid of shit of this sort if we really want to get back on track.
Hello dude. I do like your videos and i usually agree with you, but I don't agree that we need to buy players to "score the goals". It is a problem to score goals yes, but we should build the team from behind to front and it's been 4 or 5 yers that we should have invested in defenders and not forwards or middfields because our defence is pure garbage. Per example, instead of buying Griezmann, which is a player that I really like but didn't suit our team at all, we should have spent only 100M€ or even the 120M€ on a really good top tier center back and a right back (a good one, Dest is not good enough). Also we need leaders, true leaders! Liverpool bought VVD and it changed the defence completly because he could lead the defence.
You can buy Haaland, Mbappé and all this wonderkids/top tier forwards, that you wont win a single trophy with this defence and without Messi.
Yeah nice insight I agree with you. Our defence is our biggest problem. Idk why pundits or even the coach doesn't seem to understand that we need good backline to win a championship not some fancy wonderkid. I believe that our midfield except Busquets is absolutely fine, young and creative talents.
@@akashbiswakarma8604 unbelivable Xavi still starts Busquets. he was nowhere to be seen and De Jong was doing all the covering work. De Jong, Gavi, Nico, Pedri, Puig, our midifeld is actually really good.
tbh, if laporta was buying the players in the bartomeu era he would've got frenkie and de ligt in de same transfer window instead of going for a coutinho or griezmann
We bought Luis Suarez and Neymar and it worked out pretty well for us, i agree with you what has to be done in terms of rebuilding but a proper signing for a striker can do wonders…
@@drago7635 those were not bought by bartomeu though, he was in the board of directors under laporta but never in charge
Former Barcelona player Junior Firpo on Ronald Koeman.
"I kept asking Koeman for explanations until one day he started lying to me. He tells me things that don't make sense, things like that I train badly or I have a bad influence on the group."
"I got to lose the will of playing football. There were things that I did not understand and in certain moments I felt disrespected. I will never understand that after a match when the substitutes trained, Koeman used to stay in his room."
Anybody with a footballing brain could tell Barca was always going to struggle in the UCL after the first Bayern loss. Barca's issues are not recent, and they are far more structural than any fan may care to admit. Xavi was NEVER going to turn this around mid-season with the current squad, and the club will have more highs and lows throughout this season - just look at the performances. The best thing to do now is to look to the future, for club and country
I just wanted to say we need big transfers. this is not anymore tactics issue , we need player who actually wll goal for the team without any doubt.
Best of luck 👍
Haaland
Our conditioning is always still lacking. We must wait a bit longer until we are able to be on par with other teams because these players are still used to other poor training regimens
Sign Kounde, because I had it with Lenglet a long time ago.
Big transfers like Dembele, Coutinho and Griezzman?
@@danielhiguita5511 actual smart transfers. Coutinho was never gonna work he doesn’t fit our system, dembele is unfortunate bc of injuries that our poor training caused, and griezmann was also not going to work because he’s not a striker which is why we wanted him, same with depay.
I remember when i used to be confident that barca will win whatever happens but today we wait for miracles to happen it’s really saddening 😔
I doubtI'd we could even win Europa if we play like this, man gavi crying made me 😔,. I've always said " the sun will shine on us " , but man this night is quite long for me to handle

thank you for trying to stay positive Jaime, you're a blessing
Hey Jamie. I agree with you on what you've said but Muller's goal wasn't the fault of Lenglet. It was Mingueza's error. If you watch the replay, Lenglet was covering the defence centrally cos Pique was with Lewandowski and pointed to Mingueza to cover the run of Muller cos he saw him coming from the left but what did Mingueza do?? He was ball watching and let Muller jump before him.
100% agreed. Lenglet wasent even that bad in this game. There were many players that were Way worse. Not defending him or anything, but we cant only use him and ter stegen as scapegoats.
@@Waluigi-vr4qz Lol, for example have you seen Piqué 😱😬
@@Waluigi-vr4qz I agree but I one hundred percent blame ter static for the second goal
@@Waluigi-vr4qz Did you see Lenglet joke with Lewandowski after the match?
@@i_havethe_highground3955 wasnt great goalkeeping, but that ball did have knuckle on it especially at the end
we need a striker and a centerback!
xavis ideas can only work if we have the right players who 100% fit!
players like depay or coutinho just dont fit and have to go!
Don't forget a new goalkeeper.
I Agree, but depay should have never been a barca player to begin with.
We need complete overhaul.. All our players are overrated, average below average category... Etc
I agree but if we let depay and coutinho go without getting new attackers we are sitting ourselves up for even more failure
The lenglet one is nothing for me, klopp had a smile and laugh when Liverpool lost 3-0 against us…so I don’t have anything against lenglet being happy…why would you really want someone to feel depressed and angry over a game. I’m a Christian and what I pray for is for everyone to be happy and mentally stable at the end of the game no matter the result.
They just want to be mad at someone let them
It does however show that it doesent mean the World to him, which it should if he plays for Barca. Getting to Europa league is extremmely embarresing. If you Saw busi and pique they were almost ready to cry. And thats the difference thye actually care. Nothing against lenglet though its his job, i just dont Think he and a whole lot of other players have the mentality you need for Barca
Thank you so much jamie. Was waiting for your video so badly to get rid off some of our pain.
Jamie, you're a rare gem and a TRUE CULÉ. Thanks for the excellent work. Candidly, Barca's crisis was initiated by Sandro Rosell, magnified by José Maria Bartomeu and unfortunately, it's now a LIVING NIGHTMARE.
Both men had NO VISION for the club. They gradually destroyed the IDENTITY of this illustrious club.
It's important that Laporta and Xavi should work together to reinstate or reinforce the VALUES of the club that have been lost over the years so that the next generation of La Masia graduates will have hope.
I believe that things will get better under Xavi. As Barça fans, we will have to eat our humble pie and be patient.
Furthermore, Xavi has got to make some firm decisions on players who commitment to this club is questionable. Players with wrong attitudes shouldn't be wearing the club jersey, regardless of how talented they are.
I'm glad Xavi said this is the start of a new era. He MUST match those words with corresponding actions.
I will remain a loyal and ardent Barça fan. Barça will RISE AGAIN.
VAMOS 💪💪💪 VISCA EL BARÇA.
Well done!
We have played Bayern with our veteran, we lost 8-2. We played with our rookies and still lost 6-0 (on aggregate).We have been coached by Mr. Setien, Mr. Koeman and Mr. Hernandez and still lost. The problem is fundamental and I think it is time to twik our tiki taka. This days, football isn't rocket science.
1) Barcelona has been playing for years without a DMF.
2) High line of Bayern's defence forced us to play tiki taka in our half.
3)The only way that defense could be broken down was by
a) using speed to connect with the ball when it is dropped behind the line. Yet, not one barca player could outrace his counterpart from Bayern, (not even Dembele).
The other option was to shoot from outside. The boys obviously don't know how to shoot.
Hence, their inability to create chances.
I am glad he called out all the players like in half time. He is going to clean house nobody is safe. He told them everyone in the locking room straight they don't know what means to wear that jersey Its going to be some hard times ahead and we just need to give Xavi time. Been following Barca since 1999. I will keep supporting Barca through good and bad.
I think barca needs a roster shuffle
Things that aren't being said by YOU and I prefer consistently.
• Xavi picking Jordi Alba, rushing him back. Koeman did this and you were absolutely hammering on it. . Jordi Alba doesn't pick himself in the starting 11. I saw a tweet where he might be out till januari and another were Xavi wants to shut him down for the whole season.
• picking Mingueza as a LB, we saw how that went the previous time and yet still Xavi picked him. Could've just put Balde in.
• We need scoring midfielders & wingbacks/fullbacks. We depend on our forwards too much, we can't even score to save our own lives right now.
• Yes the Europa League is a tier below our standards but it's reality now. To my we might not even win it, THAT would be embarrassing. BUT if we win it, go into the summer and get some reinforcement, summer planning, workouts and we beat the Champions League winners in the UEFA European cup doesn't that make us kings of Europe? (There is some upside and optism you can look forward too)
• This might be a Liverpool, AC Milan or Inter Milan rebuild
• The sooner a lot of players leave the better we can build and I'm talking about senior players and fan favorite players too.
I normally don't write these long comments but these things need to be said. I hope Jamie reads this comment and not just the negative and jolly happy ones. But the sooner we realize what state we are in, the better.
Outside of Pique and Busquets I wish we had even one player with half the grit, drive and dedication -- not to mention loyalty -- of Thomas Muller. I agree that goal summed up a lot about Barca right now.
*About Demir*
Salah really got his beast-mode much later, joining Liverpool from AS Roma
we clearly see Demir is a Diamond
let him rotate and do his thing *seriously*
things take time
wrecking at 25
option : loans to big-bundesliga lovely teams is smartest move
As long as Ter Stegen, Lenglet, Umtiti, Pique plays Barca is getting hammered even against Afghanistan.
Remember : the real love is unconditional !! Visca Barca 💙❤️
These are the games that differentiate real fans from those who come when we're winning let's just stay strong 💪 forca barća💙❤
Stop that fucking shit, everyone has been here for the Liverpool, Roma, Bayern, Bayern, benfica, Bayern shit what makes the fans real again. You are these fans are part of the reason as the suffering makes you think you are real fans.
I'm still here after 8-2
@@leslie6215 yeah man i think because of this loyalty shit the club has taken the fans as granted and don't do anything to improve the situation.
Braithwaite was really promising against Sociedad, he’s the no 9 we’re missing.
Jamie since we’ve entered the UEL for the first time in 17 years, I am honestly scared of facing either Dortmund, Porto, Sevilla (UEL masters), and I am honestly scared from playing against west ham, we could genuinely face David Moyes of all people in the UEL, let’s not underestimate him, he’s doing a damn good job at west ham, this is y I am scared from them for the first time in several years
At the same time, we still don't know how effective he could be without Messi. But we'll see. He might be great paring up with Memphis.
I've been saying it for years, Barca always struggle against teams who play aggressive with high intensity. Busquet is the weakest link against such teams and he is the anchor of our midfield but he's old and very slow now and he couldn't do much when no one cover for this weakness. Meanwhile our other midfielders simply don't have creativity and physicality which means our mid is completely dead and exposed. Also there are players like Lenglet who just don't understand what it means to play for Barca... I feel like some of the players have developed such loser mentality that it's okay to lose... We need to stop starting old players like Busquet and start unloading overpaid players who don't contribute anything and don't fit our system at all.
Bayern fan here, this vid, don't know why popped up on my recommended but alright, to all barça fans reading this I can just say... Right now you are not going through the brightest moments, some teams and fans are talking banter and enjoying in banter. However in a serious note, be strong, I know you guys will come back, in realistic terms I could say barça (maybe I am wrong) will take around 7 years to rebuild and be in full winning form. That said I think this will give Barça a new era, a new future, something new to look forward to since you have many talents. I hope you guys come back, although in game we are rivals, off the field I undestand your situation. I can only tell if you are strong, if you persevere and be resiliant you will come back in one piece and be successful once more. Mia san mia and Força Barça! I sent my kind regards👋
I really can't sleep last night.... 😢... I wish there's anything I can do to help the team now ...I swear I'll help ...even if it's my penny that will do much ... IS THERE ANY WAY?
Yeah buy a shirt lol
I'm sure you'll be a better goalie that mats
Sad for Koeman. It is naive too think that was the problem (and disrespectful to Koeman). At least he was realistic and honest about the status of the team. I hope the team starts to believe in themselves soon, grow confidence, and hopefully, the club does some wise investments.
Xavi has at fault too
Mingueza at wing back?! A center back at wing back?!??Smh
Alejandro Balde?!
Muller was spot on with his analysis. To be honest, it was the more experienced and long time Barca players were the problem. Pique, Busquets, Lenglet, DeJong, Depay, and TerStegen all put in a somewhat anemic effort, in my opinion. I thought the Barca youngsters put in a better effort in garbage time. Xavi has a huge task ahead of him. Remember, just because Xavi was a legendary player and deeply cares, doesn’t mean he is capable of getting the job done.
de jong and depay are not long time barca players. there the new guys.
@@hgscorpionThey are veteran players
We shouldn't blame a single player. It's not their fault they aren't good enough. It's the management and sporting department's fault who chose to maintain these players and not replace our legends with good players by intelligent scouting.
if the youth academy was used properly for years, we would not be in debt and also have some of the older talents already playing well in the team and older players transitioned out of the team
Umtiti must play, we have to get him back to his level, and fans must support him
We need to renew Araujo before any other teams want to snatch him away. It pisses me off that so many “finished” players demand such high wages yet the players making the difference hardly get paid. I hope things go well for us and we can offload some players with huge wages this winter to really help us and give us some breathing space
Honestly there isn't a single spot which we cant upgrade massively. Last night Bayern didn't have a midfield(Tolliso plus Musiala as CDM) but still dominated our midfield of 4 . Starting with Ter Stegen we need to replace all the squad with better players by actual scouting.
I know everyone wants to use ter stegen as a scapegoat now, but do you really Think he is our biggest problem. We need a 9, we need wingers, we need a cb, we need new rb and lb.

When Fc Barcelona get humiliated I feel so much hurt but by far I even love the club even more and more. Jamie always gives me more hope that things will soon get better whenever I listen to him. VISCA BARCA VISCA CATALUNYA
Muller stated the truth! no matter how we receive it! there were some players who didnt care! they dont know what barca means...thats why we need to build our own talent...who knows what it means to play for barca! We need to take some decisions! we will be back for sure
I am not a big fan of Mueller (great player, I am just not a fan), but he is so spot on and I didn't find it at all offensive. I think a lot of players outside of Barcelona in world football want to see them to do well (just as it would be a shame to see a team like man city or bayern hit the blows of our club currently) and it was a wake up call of reality
Thank you Jamie for all the hard work you do. Visca el Barca
*Memphis is a Cute bench player for such club…..soon Xavi will realise that …inescapable*
Jamie you have been a beacon of hope in the past few years. I applaud your continued dedication
There are definitely some players that need to sold this coming transfer market. Which includes Lenglet(just not a Barca player) , Alba ( we without a doubt need a LB), Pigue (he is great CB but he doesn't have it in him anymore), Coutinho (just didn't work out as expected), Umtiti (it's a 50/50 because he hasn't played under Xavi yet).
Tought defeat but honestly i’d rather we win the europa league rather than champions league ro16.
Honestly, Depay isn't a threatening forward, he's notta forward that defenders fear. A good defense can easily mark him like he's nothing. Look at Halland, Mbappe, Salah, Vinny Jr, Messi, Ronaldo, Rashford, "prime Suarez", Ronaldo Nazario, Van Basten, Fernando Torres, Deigo Forlan, etc......Depay is good in some areas but not the actual one we need. I personally feel Grizzy is better than him becuz Grizzy actually helps out a lot defensively.
I don't know how we are getting worse in UCL since 2019, like corner-taken-quickly was a ritual for a curse, because that was a semi final, the next year in 2019/20 we got demolished in the qf, last season, earlier this year we got destroyed by Mbappe in the RO16, now Bayern have crashed us out at the group stage. WTF🤦
barring last year’s defeat to PSG, since our 2015 treble win our UCL campaigns get perfectly progressively worse.
2-0 to Atleti, ok, tough defeat.
3-0 to Juve, embarrassing scoreline.
3-0 to Roma, embarrassing choke job.
4-0 to LFC, even MORE embarrassing chokejob.
8-2 to Bayern, worst defeat in club history
Now Knocked out of CL group stages, knocked at the earliest stage.
Judging by this pattern, what’s next in store for us next season? Are we gonna be knocked out of our Conference league group?
@@AJ-lh4fp 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭

After that 6 years later we won our 2nd UCL...
Sit tight ladies and gentlemen, we shall share our joys again when we hopefully win in 2027.
I have a question Jamie, have you ever considered doing watch-alongs but I love the content regardless
At that time we were sill fun to watch. Rivaldo was scoring amazing goals! The team has always been super reliant on a super star: Ronaldo--> Rivaldo --> Ronaldinho --> Messi. Who is next?
Let us come back again.This is the reality rn.Barca will become dominant in the next 3-4 years again.We will make the comeback with a strong and competent team don't lose hope guys.Visca el Barca .This is the time we have to support our club💙❤
Lack of intensity but mostly lack of goals, our players reach the goal and give back passes even heading the ball backwards. Buy some good players
i m barca since 2004 i saw everything from this team ofc i m mad bcs we play for europa league but i dont care i m still barca till i die
Damn now you gotta make Europa league predictions😂
As a Bayern fan: Thanks for giving props to Thomas Müller for his honesty. I know his words probably hurt, but he didn't mean to rub salt into the wound, he respects Barca's rich history and was simply being honest. I mean: Look at the physical intensity and also at the hunger for success that the Bayern players had, compared to the Barca players. Bayern were already guaranteed 1st in the group before the game yet still fielded their best squad and were hungry for the win and for goals, even after going 3-0 up. Just watch the reactions of the players when Sané misses the 95% chance to score the 4th goal: They were incredibly disappointed despite it being almost entirely irrelevant if they score more goals or not - they just have that absolute drive to succeed as much as possible. I didn't see that in most Barca players.
Yes the Europa League sounds a little embarrassing for a club like Barça but IMO it is not the end of the world at all. This team is in a building phase and not ready to compete in the CL yet, so the EL is prob a nice competition where to practice at an appropriate intensity for right now (well, hopefully Barça can compete in the EL lol). Gotta go step by step. Also, a lot of English teams are in EL often, like Chelsea who won it in 2019 (now the CL champion), United, Arsenal, Liverpool in 2016, etc. Heck, the Spurs are in the Conference League.
Football has changed. Barcelona plays the old style tiki taka. They don't move around. When you watch Bayern, what I see is, individuals move the ball in spaces when they see an empty space. That helps to advance the ball up the pitch. Barca only wants to pass the ball around. You don't see any one utilizing any space and taking ppl on. This is also why barca scored a lot in the Messi era. Messi would run with the ball, which usually open up spaces.
Xavi needs to make the big decision about removing that defense coz there is no way a club like Barcelona can have the same defense that lost to Roma 5 years ago still playing regularly
Jamie sad reality is pique,busquets,lenglet,umtiti,alba and Braithwaite all must leave starting in the winter transfer window
Once again, Lenglet made zero errors this game. His passing was on point, there was simply no way for him to get to that ball that Muller headed that you keep blaming him for. It wasn't his man to mark in that moment. That was Mingueza. I don't know how much football you play, Jaime, but whether we're talking about football or tennis, or any other ball sport, the reason that lobs are so effective in every sport when executed well is this: in the words of my own coach, "it's easy to run forward to the ball, but much *much* harder to backtrack for a ball." This is why tennis players only go forward when they know they've created a strong advantage. This is why footballers don't run backwards to receive passes but try to time their forward run to meet the ball. This is *why* Muller made his run clearly *behind* Lenglet. Who TF anticipates such a perfectly executed lob pass?
95% of the time, Lenglet would have been in position to intercept the ball. You can say what you want about his attitude after the game, but his performance this game was solid. He was at fault for nothing and he broke the Bayern lines time and time again with his passing. Nothing revolutionary, but good progression.
Also, again you don't understand what Braithwaite has to offer. He may not be quite as technical as we might want, but he is the exact profile of forward player that Xavi needs. Someone who will stick to his role and be in the right position. He is the player who will be at the far post to tuck the easy ball away when the other "winger" cuts the ball across.
First time since 2000 (since i was born) but i we will support barca no matter what forca barca 🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴
Xavi is there for the long run. I was not too keen on some of his choices yesterday. Araujo felt lost at right back. Mingueza is an awful left back. But we need to give him time to rebuild.
I hope Pique sticks to his own words after the 8-2 that he would go if he is part of the problem. In modern football we cannot play with players who cannot cut it physically anymore like Pique and Busquets. They will always be legends but all these losses I feel are tarnishing their legacy. The club could well use saving up on their salaries.
sad thing is that araujo is probably our best rb defensively even though he’s not even a rb
There was no one else to replace Alba. Araujo was solid enough on that wing. If anyone was going to hold the side it’s him. My only issue was Dest on right wing.
Jamie. It's kinda harsh to blame that Muller's header on Lenglet. Muller was Mingueza's mark and his bad positioning caused that goal. Don't forget that Koeman repeatedly yelled at Mingueza's positining before. Lenglet stayed central and was ready to clear the second ball so he was alright.
I was really hurting when Barcelona went out like that last night, going to work this morning was not so nice but I made peace with the fact that we need change. We need to put our trust in Xavi and believe and hope for the best. We had to go to our lowest to really open our eyes.. God knows best.. all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦Barcelona forever 💙❤ 🙏🏼
I mean just look at the equipment Bayern uses in training, preping etc.. Just go on their channel and sneak peek.. Then come back and look at the kids games we play in our trainings. Never be poor or in debt in life.
I'm not sure why people keep betting on Ansu Fati. If we really think about it he's a guy who gets injured a lot.
This is so sad really sad. It's not like I did not expect it before match but not only the performances has dropped but players passion is dead as well.
Same defence Alba - Lenglet - Pique... I mean fuck me i don't wanna talk same. I just can't believe how ter stegen could not save it or I just can't understand the reaction from de jong after that goal went in, he just slept on ground like baby on the 44th min as he himself don't believe in anything idk it's so sad man.
What Muller has said about us is just so truee, we are still totally attached to technicality and tactics we have to evolve just look outside football is not same.
If you want something, you have to add something new. This is the lowest now. we have the coach that cares good management and what we need is some time. Believe it.
I still represent this shield for my whole fucking life, time for Europa League 👏🏼
I see a lot of people here blaming players and past coaches for the horrible performances we've been getting from Barca in recent years, and rightly so. However, it seems these folks are quick to forget that we've been having difficulties competing at top level in the Champion's league even while Messi, Suarez, and Iniesta were in the team. We performed horribly against Juventus (2016-2017), Roma (2017-2018), Liverpool (2018-2019), and Bayern (2019 - 2020) consecutively in the tournament, conceding tons of goals. So, if the problem is intensity related, doesn't that point at both a playing style/coaching issue?
I am not surprised, I expected lot worse. It was coming for us but now we have to be strong and give all our support to barca. I trust Xavi and we gonna rise again. My heart is broken but I always gonna be there for our club. Visca El Barca. 💙❤️
If you have a player like Lenglet who rests his hand on Lewa's shoulder after a match like this you can imagine where your club could end up. We need to get rid of shit of this sort if we really want to get back on track.
I woke up sick…😔 This is not normal honestly.
Worryingly, West Ham at the moment is a better team than we are 🙆♂️
I still think MAT should sit on the bench POR FAVOR AND for the other players taking this club for a joke MUST suffer the consequences ⚔️
Finally we will only be back for ME in about five years 😔 Yes we have these amazing youngsters but I constantly say their PHYSICALITY & DISCIPLINE needs to improve. (No reckless fouls, no foul throws, no lack of communication) please guys and thank you so much Jamie for providing this stunning loyalty 💙❤️🙏
I was raging when I saw Lenglet smiling, I thought I was the only one. We've been embarassed in this competition for years in a row now, but this was the heaviest defeat for what it means. I get it if you're not expressive and aren't crying out there after this happens, but to actually have the audacity to smile like that is just unacceptable. I for one didn't mind Lenglet's performance today, he was fine, but that mindset 👎
As long as players like Lenglet and Mingeuza play for Barcelona nothing is going to change. They have no respect for the crest they represent. I can overlook any defeat, no matter the score, but Lenglet’s attitude after the game truly shows what’s he’s about. A player like that will never give it his all nor does he have what it takes to play for a club like this.
Once again not to bring up the defending on Muller’s goal where they did not even bother to jump. Incredible.
Speechless.
We all have to take it no matter what is all about Experience it's very hard to swallow but we're going to make it again with 1000% back together ❤️💙

Some are just hypocrites. We will get on track thing. It’s like they like the sufferings
