Barcelona’s “Identity Crisis”: Failed Transfers , An Aging Team & the Decline of La Masia
What’s wrong with FC Barcelona? Are Barcelona in decline? In this video we’ll explore what has contributed to Barcelona’s slip from their perch as the world’s best team one decade ago under Pep Guardiola. They still remain competitive in La Liga, but Barcelona’s Champions League collapses vs AS Roma in 2018 and vs Liverpool in 2019 add further turmoil to this aging, mentally shaken club that relies far too often on Lionel Messi to save them. Should Ernesto Valverde have been sacked earlier, and how has Josep Bartomeu and the Barcelona board contributed to this slip? Has Quique Setien lost the respect of the players, and should Setien leave Barcelona?

This vid aged beautifully.
Messi gotta leave or new coach
@@LILOCW Messi becomes the new coach

Yp we need Xavi

Griezmann isn't a winger, Suarez is injury prone and aging, Messi is aging, Pique is aging, Pjanic is aging, Jordi Alba is yeah, you get my point.
Jack Jerram Messi is still good even when he is aging, but the club ain’t good because of aging
@@felo2442 he is still good, but in two- maybe even one, sometimes another single injury does it- they won't be able to rely on him anymore
Aging as well right?
Jack Jerram u forgot busquets, Vidal, and rakitic.
It feels like something is seriously wrong there. You just get the feeling of a club in decline
10 years ago : Messi Vs Ronaldo
Now: Messi Vs Bartomeu
Ayyyyyyyyy lmao it's gotten to the point where Messi is subtly threatening to leave the club because of the Barca board

Plot twist: The Barcelona board works for Real Madrid.
More for Liverpool these days tbh
I'd believe it.(Just a joke)
Everything the Barca board does is the opposite of what any competent person would do in charge of a club. Everything I backwards. From signings, to what they do with La Masia, to the things they say, to the people they support, everything...!
@@hamilton4449 nah, Liverpool is nothing to barca. Real Madrid is their only rival.
@@xrypro4080 well espanyol is also rival but yeah in terms of competitiveness only real

I personally think the selling of Carles Perez, Aleana, Cucurella were a great example of a bad transfers of amazing talent.
Neither Aleña nor Perez were sold and Cucurella is back at Barca
@@goncalo_mendes00 they will be sold for balancing books waste ah f**kin time barca board
@@vishalharricharan4305 no they wont, Todibo probably will tho
@@goncalo_mendes00 Pérez left Barcelona for Italian side Roma. A loan move with the obligation to purchase his rights permanently for a fee of €11 million in the summer.
Have no idea who the f* are those guys
Phil Jones and Jesse Lingard are the answer.
I Approve.
They should get those youngsters asap
now that is the funniest message on here!! 😁
Didn’t think La Liga sides could sign kids? They’d have to wait at least 15 years to get Lingard on an adult contract.

The problem with Barca is that they never invested in youth and now they are in a weird phase where there are so many old players and so few young ones that when they play players like fati and Puig who are fast and full of energy with rusty busquets and rakitic also they are afraid of benching the old players too coutinho and griezmann are played out of position which frustrate them and hence are unable to perform well they also have a coaching afraid of players
Imagine if your teacher is scared of his students
Real Madrid on the other hand have invested well in youth they have old player players in there prime and youngsters who are blended in very well in the team plus they have Zidane as their manager a football legend who many people admire
The teacher here is respected by his students this is why Barca are on a downfall
What I've learned from this video:
Juve has made a really promising purchase
And it's probably a great deal for Juve since they are also considered a team full of old players and injecting some new blood in the mix will be great for them, they have a good attack and Dybala is shaping up to be one of the best strikers, they just need a creative midfield and they should also invest in their defense and get some younger players there, another thing that Juve urgently needs but might not be able to get is Higuain's replacement, he's old but getting a top tier player costs a lot of money.
@@Daniel-wz3yv I totally agree with you. As an Italian, i hope that they'll bet on an Italian player like Chiesa, Zaniolo and Tonali, they are really good prospect for the future of Italian football, regardless of the club they'll play in.
@@frafrafrafrafra idk if they can even get these players, maybe tonali because it looks like Brescia will be relegated but italians seem to be more loyal to their teams. especially Zaniolo could shape up into a roma legend. i also didn't like how they bought higuain just to damage napoli
@@just_a_yokai1103 yes, probably Zaniolo could become the next Totti, who knows. By the way Juve didn't buy Higuain just to damage Napoli, because economically speaking Napoli made a good choice.
@@frafrafrafrafra YES, i've been wanting Barca to invest in tonali because I feel like he could really make a place for himself as a young player in the midfield

I'm here after messi faxed the club saying he wants to leave Barcelona
The "Who's here ____ " comments are so original it makes me pee my pants in excitement when I see them...
They've been FC Messi for the last 2 seasons now. When he goes, it's gonna be *bad.*
They've been FC Messi for the past 5 years.
@@bluepearl_22 Past 5 years? Hey come on, cut Neymar and Suárez some slack.
@@bluepearl_22 nah more like 3 since even though they were still reliant on him a lot if he didnt score other players would step up
i think last season was really single carried by Messi, everything was going well until that turnovered, their mentality was shattered ever since...
@Slicky not that far yet Barca would still beat arsenal
"Younger" - Griezmann is 29. He's more of the same "buying players deep into their prime" that has plagued Barcelona.
That move was more of Griezmann's doing...He wanted to go there
He is younger then Suarez Messi and Vidal....isn't he?
@@2xAcTiOnXJaCkS0nx He's still 29, meaning he has maybe 3-4 seasons in him before he's completely obsolete.
Griezmann is still a good player, it just there is certain someone who is bigger than the club itself even the manager scared of him.
Messilona
Real did it with Hazard too...he’s 29
People need to stop taking what was an exceptional period in the club's history as the norm. The last decade was the most successful in club history, by far, and it should not be taken as the standard level of the club.
Having several generational talents come through a club's academy ranks at the same time is not something that happens often, now Barcelona are coming back down to Earth and need to focus on smart business to stay competitive like other clubs have had to do.
dropping your standards has always been the start of the downfall.
@@sher7174 No club needs to expect doing what barca did
@@sher7174 Like RealMadrid we dont expect winning the champions league every year
I think it's natural that barca is declining.
I don't know a single club that remained top 5 in the world for more than 10 years(I'm not saying that it never happened, but that these things are the exception rather than the norm in football), almost every single large club remained strong for a few years then started declining. They stayed weak for some time then got back up or remained weak.
Some great examples are:
arsenal: strong in the early 2000s then declined.
Liverpool: was weak for a long time but got back up in around 2017/2018.
Inter: triple in 2010 then declined(it looks like they are coming back now).
The list goes on and on...
This is an insightful comment and pretty much on point.
Plot Twist: Bartomeu knows that he’s going to lose his presidency so he’s sabotaging the club.
He has been sabotaging the club for way too long now. Since the day he let Alves go to juventus for free..since he was aging.. and now the midfield is a century old..
You guys realize that barca was having financial troubles which is why they are selling top players
For years they have invested in players that would fail and would sell for half the price and that definitely doesn't help.
@@The_Antagonist07 The root of all financial trouble at the club can be sourced to the Barca board. It's pretty clear that they are sabotaging the club and have gotten away with it every year
The financial troubles began under sandro rosell it just gotten worse now
wow this aged so well, he legit left them and now they're almost bankrupt.
"Their identity". This has been their identity for the inmense majority of their history. La Masia has produced a single squad of amazing players, that's it. Before that squad Barcelona bought all of their players; Ronaldo, Rivaldo, Maradona and Cruyff were not produced by La Masia. They've had a good generation and people are talking like Barça has always been like this when in reality this was a golden spot in their history.

When you hold on to your golden age of youth prospects like Barca denying any new comers into 1st team you lose out both on possible transfer income from your stars and developing young prospects
This guy u totally miss understood the point
Every club should buy players to improve if their accademies cannot produce it but it does not mean they should buy any player because their r world class 4 other teams or they play well for other teams
They should buy players that fit barcelona's dna

One massive part of the downfall was Tito's death, the man embodied that old Barça spirit.
bruhmoment No, Tito was a “títere” of Rosell.He was the same as Setien.He let the players do what they want.That explains Bayern 7 Barca 0.
Funny thing. Other things have also fallen over a death of "Tito"
Dude , I agree with this. In that season, I see the peak of Tiki Taka. very fast passing and opponent are very confused against barca, And no man, 7-0 vs Bayern is when Tito was sick that time. It's too coincidence that Pep leaves, or him get sicks.
@@jetscheme2125 Rip Jugoslavia
tito made a next level tiki taka..
Haven't even had time to watch the whole thing since it uploaded 7 seconds ago but Imma give the video a like.
Why is this a surprise? If you look at Barcelona before their golden era the team wasn't anything special. They had their "golden" era and that's coming to an end. It's not like Barcelona have ALWAYS dominated football. AC milan went through something similar.
It is a surprise if you look at their decisions . The squad quality has declined with each transfer . Its not that ,that the player was not good enough but the player they bought has different mentality than FCB's which was shown clearly in their games . Barca , now for a long time revolves around Messi as a distributor and provider ,bringing same kind of player(Coutinho) won't help the squad much . I think they just saw the price and club of the player and bought anyone within top 3 team of any top league they picked in a blind draw . Salah played Messi's role so he was out of question hence coutinho .
AC Milan still is going thru that now.
Ac milan had a 20 year golden era then?
@Isaac KAITHAYIL True, Rosell and Bartomeu have destroyed Barcelona. Messi has handed in a transfer request.
I like how Xavi is now the new Messiah. But when Ole got the job at United at the time, he "didn't have the CV for it".
So is anybody going to talk about "CV" now ?
Hm its like saying a donkey is as fast as cheetah
Yeah but usually great players that retire and become coaches hardly have a glistening CV. Even the successful ones
Xavi and Ole didnt have the CV for it
well historically barca has been succesful when using former players as managers. Barcelona tries to maintain a specific style of play so former players can implement it well. Ferguson didnt really have a dictinct style of play that could be emulated. Ferguson was about character, defense, smart gambling, confidence, and other things that cant just be imitated.
This is from a liverpool fan, I think Ole is a good coach for united, I just dont know what his peak is.
@@unnanointedonesufi I actually agree with you. My point was just that it seems that people have different treatments regarding 'similar' situations in football. Sometimes it annoys me. But your point is valid, i have the same opinion.
This video was great, it's incredible to see how Barca have fallen in a decade. I think Barca are trying to act like PSG or Man City but they don't know how to make transfers. The club doesn't seem like they have any real deal-makers who know how to negotiate and their finance people don't have the voice they should have in the boardroom. It's like they're caught in a vine trap and every signing they make just winds them more and more until they wont be able to move. That Arthur-Pjanic swap isn't even the first time they've had to cook the books
I'm pretty sure it's this seasons jersey that was our demise
Yeah it looks like absolute shit😂. I am starting to think that every 2nd season we have an ugly jersey. I personally also hated the 15/16 shirt and also didn’t like the one from 17/18.
They were going for a Croatia type look but even I as an American, wishes Barcelona would keep the stripes. It’s simple and iconic.
this season home kit and previous season away pink were propably the worst in history of this club.

I’m a Real Madrid fan & this makes me feel a bit sad. I want Real to win the league knowing they did it with a strong Barca team chasing after them.
But, at the same time bantering them for the fall off has been kinda fun 😅
What people don’t realize is that this is the same old Barcelona. The glory years were the anomaly, not the rule. Gotta look back prior to 2000 to realize this
But the problem is that most barca fans are 8yr olds so you can't explain this to them
@@purushothaman6698 Being RM fan, I couldnt agree more, its absolutely impossible to reason with them and talk objectively, couldnt wait for messi to leave and they become AC Milan 2.0
You're a Real Madrid fan bro, its obvious that's your perspective. Remember the time when Madrid was also going with a similar slump, also same with united(the team u supported before Ronaldo transfer). Each teams have their ups and downs, what matters is if they have what it takes to bounce back. Madrid also doesn't have that good depth of the squad right now, but u don't care about that, do u? since Ronaldo is no more there.
@@THOR-ij3fu I'm sorry Madrid doesn't have good squad depth did I read that correctly? Also sure yeah everyone has slumps but Real have been much better over the past 5 years at adjusting and not being afraid of moving off what worked in the past which is something Barca needs to do
@@tamireshel4743 Yeah barca used to be about being good guys but now they're doing "bad things" and paying the price. But Real Madrid have always done whatever is in the interest of the club moving forward, no matter how bad it looks. They're comfortable being perceived as bad guys as long as they win because that is more important.
They fired some of the best managers in world football and sold of their best player so that they could win again and new guys could come through.
tbh, Paulinho did a tremendous job during his 1 season at the club. idk why they sold him, ig its another dumb move by the board
Couldn't disagree more. Paulinho was one of the most overrated players I've ever seen. Don't know how he convinced you guys that he's actually a footballer. He couldn't pass worth a damn, he couldn't tackle worth a damn, and he couldn't dribble worth a damn. He's one of the worst players I've ever seen rock up at Barca. The only thing he did was score some easy tap-ins that my Nan could've scored
@@BubblesChika Facts. He was only scoring because Messi made him look ok whit his passes. Whitout Messi he would just me another mess..
Sassy Ranma @Blaze what’s wrong with scoring? At the end of the day, it comes down to who scores the most.
@@CaliforniaBoy7559 exactly. Be it a penalty or a tap-in. They change the game.
@@q-blaze5961 really? if it is all down to messi's passes, why is rakitic just another liability at barca? Why is he so bad if messi is still there to give him passes just like he did to paulinho?
It’s a shame that the board keep splashing out big money galáctico signings every season without a proper plan for them. Coutinho and Griezmann are fantastic players but with no positional role in the team. It largely comes down to poor planning

@James Jonathan But without Pérez we wouldn't really know if we would have made it that far. Who brought Ronaldo (CR7)? Who brought Zidane as a coach? Who made the super team we had in 2017? Pérez didn't play of course, but he was involved in the making of the team.

The Arthur-Pijanic swap makes no sense ,you send a same quality younger player to buy an older one , swap new pick up truck for an old one nice job man
Barcelona right now feel like the Real Madrid of the mid to late 2000's, where it's like they stubbornly had to be seen to be getting their man as a point of pride more than anything else. They pursued Coutinho for years and then finally got him and seemed to have absolutely no structure or plan in place on his integration in to the team, and it's been similar to Griezmann. It feels like they've spent a stupid amount of money on a player they didn't really want or have a need for, just as a means to be seen to be flexing their muscles and making a big signing rather than signing what they actually need.
Messi criticizing leadership? LMAO
You ain't worth Messi's gatekeeper ! Sit ur ass down
No identity crisis ...just too many super stars and moody players..messi,suarez,vidal,....they all want to be worshiped as gods. They lured Coutinho as well...Jurgen warned him that he will be a bench guy...and so it was !!!What Coutinho did against Barca is a lesson..call it revenge!!! Griezman is in the same situation.Its not enough to have the best players in the world,Barca needs to get rid of his demigods in order to build a real team. Messi needs to go,Suarez needs to go,Vidal needs to go !!!
P.S - Coutinho come home,you are forgiven YNWA!!
but Klop never likes player who leave the team.
That is Klop mentality -
If a player want to go - Klop will do everythings to protect the player if Klop sees that player potential.
But if a player still want to even klop already persuade - then theres no going back.
Many times saying that on interviews - He need player who fights for the team.
Thx u
Messi u idiot??
been saying it and warning about this for years.Barca lost its identity a couple years ago and Messi has been keeping them afloat almost siglehandly
This guy is the epitome of "I told you so...." 8-2. Boom.
I believe the demise of Barcelona started around the time went they switched jersey sponsors from UNICEF to Qatar Airways. I that point the club sold their philosophy of long term investment to short term instant gains. The academy hasn't produced a regular starting player in a while. Barca just buys the best players without thinking will this player fit with the system they have. They have literally three of the same players on the roster (Messi, Greizman, and Counthino).

Unpopular opinion, but Messi seems to have been a blessing and a curse.
I’d say he’s a blessing more often than he is a curse. He still has more good days than bad days, but my guess is that he’ll soon start to have more and more bad days, and eventually more bad days than good ones. At which point he’ll become a liability to whichever club he’s in.
He cannot be a captain for game because he just only want shot on goals. Should be shifted to Pique or Bousqet.
@@muhddzuhrirattim3881 yeh, but who makes him Captain in the first place? Pique captain?
@G P he values loyalty too much
Usually the midfielder or defender is the best way be a captain. It's was prove in many games like Zidane, Requilme, Cafu, Dunga, Thomas Muller, Xabi Alonso, Pirlo, Maldini, Puyol and many. Need to remember middle and last are developing games and finishing striker. If striker concern about middle that's what happens to Messi right now.
More than a month since this video was uploaded, Bayern Munich has exposed the bloody truth.
He said football.... I literally have tears of joy dripping down my face
I've never seen any evidence of Messi being a leader on or off the field. Just look at Ronaldo when he was injured against France and he was on the sidelines shouting and almost acting like a coach.
So shouting can make a team win
@@shriramvaradarajan8472 it can definitely motivate them.
Shouting=/=coaching
@@memoboy4141 yeah, you text your players during the game to get your point across
@@highwayman1932 you have more than the options of shouting and being totally passive.
Everything started when Neymar left. He's the man that gave them the last push into oblivion.
With Neymar they lost 3 Champions, in a ridiculous way in 2016 and 2017 BTW. And without Neymar they came to a semifinal of Champions League last year so i don´t think that everything started when Neymar left.
@@peladohdp8304 Regarding the transfer policy, everything started after neymar left, regarding consistency, everything started after neymar left. So i think i am right when i say that neymar is the one who gave the last and most important blow to Barcelona.
@@raduboboc8556 Everything started in 2016 when Neymar was still in Barcelona.
2016 (With Neymar): No Champions
2017 (With Neymar): No Champions
2018 (Without Neymar): No Champions
2019: Same shit.
The only difference is that this year Barcelona could lose La Liga but even with Neymar Barcelona lost in ridiculous ways (Roma,Juventus).
Change my mind.
You idiots realise you can't expect to win the champions league every single season right, only 1 team can win it, the real way to measure how far you've fallen is how consistent you've been throughout the season, not if you don't win the champions league where you can just slip up once
@@nikolaimaharaj2319 Well said mate.
Well now its really proven, 8 balls inside the net type of proven
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed throughout.
Very good job. Better than what is done by many big TV stations. Keep up the good work!!
This aged well
Who’s here after Barca lost 8-2
This is now truer than ever
You'd think Florentino was a bad influence over Madrid, Barca's board really is something else.
Instead of spending 800 million on these players, they could spend just a fraction on referees
Them blame Madrid for paying refs, wow
@@tjseries3057 you pumpkin head. Don't you realise it's a dig at Madrid ?
@@tjseries3057 ?
Who's here after Bayern beat Barca 8-2?
Hello from Montreal! For someone who's based in North America, your channel is top-notch. I subscribe to various football news sources in England, and your RUclips channel is on par with theirs if not better 👍
You really do hit the nail in the head dude. Amazing analysis
i've been saying this time and time again we need a new board #bartomeuout
That was an awesome video. I was just wondering if you think Messi is to blame for part of their lackluster play. I don’t have the stats but it seems to me that he is playing slower, more touches, waiting more for the play to develop. If you play with a mentality that only Messi can win you the game, at some point, it becomes your reality
100percent agree with u
Messi has always been like this but the 3 to 4 years this is more noticeable
He just stays static waiting for the ball rather than running into space and asking for it
And adding to the fact that Barcelona players are dependent on messi who is not in good position or enough space to make something happen which in turn slows the game down
If messi was more proactive in making small movements and runs and then asks for the ball it can be a lot better
Cmon, you got to understand he's not 25 anymore. It's amazing guys like Messi n Ronaldo can still play at the top level but they are past their prime.
@@samhaokip9126 Exactly
There is a reason Ronaldo doesn't dribble as much anymore
That is why they can play 40 games a season without injuries in their 30s
Sir Alex Ferguson said many years ago how lucky Barca were to have a squad like they had that comes around once in a generation with the likes of Mess, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and the like. Much like when Man Utd dominated the English game when their generation of top young players came through. Barca need to rebuild or face years in the wilderness and only have to look to Utd to see what can and will happen.
Great video man. I love how in depth you go without making it too complicated. Great voice, enunciation, pace, relaxed vibe. Feels and seems like you really know your stuff and your keeping your objectivity. Keep up the good work!
Do it like Bayern Munich, put capable old players into power, that love and breathe the clubs philosophy.
From Uli Hoeneß and Franz Beckenbauer to Rummenigge and now Kahn and Salihamidzic
Anyone else came here from the 2 - 8 torture from Bayern? 😭😭
Yes
Ac Milan experienced the same mass exodus as they were aging and Berlusconi changed his philosophy about transfer policy . After 8 years of fall from heavens AC Milan is now going through a revolution and are looking good.🔥they finally have a team that can qualify for the champions league.
This guy really hit the nail in this matter
100% agree with what u said
We need more people like this in football commentary
