Barcelona have failed to get out of their Champions League group for the second consecutive season, thus being eliminated and sent to the Europa League. After a summer of financial levers and expensive signings, what does this mean for Barcelona?

Just get bank loan, problem solved.
Number 1 rule of debts is not get into more debts, Barcelona had an alright team from last season, I think that some of the signings were really extra, they should have used the levers to lower debt and nothing else, and especially they shouldn't be in no way working on a stadium renovation in this financial state.
Yep they should've never bought raphinha or Lewandowski. Not that they are bad or dont fit the team. Its just not worth the price they are going to pay in the future ( much much more than transfer+wage). And they had players that could play that position and get 2nd in La liga.
The should've just payed their transfer, wage or credit debts with that money and instead of selling their future
@@cinecfull3733 auba would have been fine instead of lewa, and raphina should only be signed if dembele did not renew
@@shinebanana4084 yep, i forgot about kounde...great player again, but probably too expensive too tbh
@@cinecfull3733 nah i dont think so we have needed defensive reinforcment for years and getting a good young defender was probebly worth it in my opinion
@@cinecfull3733 on this i have to disagree and i dont even like barca or support them in any way. quite frankly, since umtiti played through his injury at wc 2018 there has been a hole the size of the pacific ocean in the heart of that defense. they needed a kounde or christensen, but he shouldve been the only signing and not an addition to what they'd already bought
My man, you're the only one I don't skip the ads for, your content is definitely worth it, much love from México.
Appreciated pal!
Thats a great complement tbh
Lol imagine having ads
Best manscapped ad.
you should, ads are cringe and dishonest
I wonder if instead of mortgaging their future, if they had instead spent within their means, and used young players ala Alex Balde etc, could they be in a similar spot without Lewa, de jong, etc and without being in as much crazy debt
Lewabdowski is the only positive financial purchase they made, they will get merch sales which would offset much of the cost. Thing is if they promote Fati, he could generate that revenue for the next 10 years and that is who they should be building around along with Pedri, Gavi, Dejong, Araujo, Balde and Kounde.
Or buy young players and develop over two - three years. And btw Barcelona fans are so impatient
No no that’s far too smart for Barcelona. Them and their arrogant fans are getting exactly what they deserve 🤣🤣🤣
Or trust your academy. Why buy players when you could trust la masia?
But see, that would mean essentially handing Real Madrid the La Liga title over the next few years, and also, they may not be confident in a lot of their upcoming youngsters. Ansu Fati can't even get consistent game time, and instead of opening the door for him to start on a regular basis, they re-signed Dembele. They literally signed Hector Bellerin. For no reason, really. He was more than happy to be signed permanently by Real Betis, but when you have the chance to sign for Barcelona, whether or not you are realistically good enough to do so, you do it.
its insane that carlo ancelotti, as the most successfull manager of all time, is often not mentioned when talking about the best managers in the world
I can only think because his sides are functional rather than attacking/entertaining
@@johnnybravo9096 That’s not true, a lot of his sides are entertaining
@@Anon-qp3kt I agree. Hes a tactical genius. Apart from his time in Everton he has been peerless.
@@Anon-qp3kt Yeah! The football they played when Kaká arrived, was beautiful.
But yeah sometimes it wasn't that nice to watch. If you remember the semi-final and final of 02/03. Both all-Italian matches. 1:0, 0:0 and 0:0 with followed by penalty shoot-out. Even by penalties it was only an 3:2. I was falling a sleep during the match.
seeing barca's arrogance and pride cost them considering that they are "more than a club" is hilarous ngl
It is. Alone how their Fans sometimes completly go overboard due to it.
How were barcelona arrogant
@@Sebster456 Taking the stupid, extremely risky short cuts they did in the Summer as well as hiring an inexperienced Manager whose only experience was managing in a garbage League that isn't even better than the MLS to get short term success that was never ever in a million years going to happen. That is pure arrogance by the very core of its definition.
@@Sebster456 barca “ DNA “ Xavi “ better than Zidane “ “ best squad in the world “ “ you have to win playing good football “
@@taliamason7986 How is that arrogance lol? The club was in crisis, quick measures were merited.
I knew this would occur. Could not believe that so many thought otherwise, even after they saw their draw.
Bro it's percentages of the future sales not 100%.. The only problem is la liga salary cap
@@musaddiqmunirliman8267 barca cant keep up with the competition with like 150% of their dales right now. How do you expect them to do it with half that money ?
@@cinecfull3733 Which competition can't they keep up with Exactly.? Financially it's the restraints from FIFA and Laliga or else money has never been the problem
@@musaddiqmunirliman8267 Champions league group stage for 2 consecutive years. And no the la liga rules are not the only financial problem of barca. Its not even the most significant problem. Do you think they sold their future sales under market price just for fun? No ,it's because they have crushing debt on their shoulders
@@cinecfull3733 Debts they have already paid, at least the most significant.. All other debts are long term not short term.. Their biggest problem right now is the salary cap, and if they keep buying players then FFP will have something to say too.. Yeahhh, Barça and UCL have almost never been in good terms
Gotta say, although I'm a madrid fan, the Barcelona drama got me hooked. There's so much tension, a lot of questions to be asked, Will they make it? Will they improve? What will Xavi do? What if they don't make it? There's a story to be told, and I gotta say, it resumes modern football quite well. The finantial side of football being related to success, identity of an institution, performance, psychology, and the way to pursue success, what will yo do to get there? A lot of drama that I watch week by week
I agree. It got me hooked too. Bayern fan here.
Lol
You mean Barca became a Telenovela?
@@Ayo.Ajisafe As a kid I always hated when my mum replaced whatever shit I was watching for some novella, and now Im seeing my club turn into one
@@Ayo.Ajisafe Not a novela. But is a great story if you think it. There's a lot going on, a lot on the line. You can't writte what's happening to them.
They should have created documentary of it and sell it as series. Maybe it could used to pay old player salaries.
The "you can pick like Joachim Löw" during the manscaped Ad was gold 😂
Easily the best analysis, structure, pacing, opinions (even though it’s each to there own but I feel yours are always very very fair), humour, and now we can add best advertisements to that list. Long time lover of your channel from the first 100 subs and you only get better video by video.
Got into a huge argument with my die hard barca boy. I was saying Lewa wasn’t worth the 40 mill FOR BARCA because of the financial situation, not because he wasent worth 40. Even called it what was gonna happen with the over signing of forwards from last winter window.
It seems like they need his goals. By now he has a 1.0. goals per match ratio in LaLiga. In the Champions League too of course he failed to score at the important matches. Just like at Bayern. That's always been the thing with him...
I actually thought before all these spendings in the summer that Barca has some of the talented youngsters in world football in Ansu Fati, Pedri and Gavi. They should built a team around these youngsters, sign a couple of players as free transfers like Real Madrid done in the recent seasons with the signings of Alaba and Rudiger, they should take a back seat in spending and maintain an economical discipline for a couple of seasons. But all the Barca supporters that I talked to were completely convinced on Laporta's idea of pulling levers, unfortunately for Barca that gamble didn't paid off.
I think the inexperienced manager is the problem.
I completely agree. When I look back on recent seasons, Real Madrid are not the same Real who paid millions in transfer money for a new squad. The roles are reversed in a way as Real have rolled back a lot on the spending and only brought players that would complement the squad, much like Barcelona in the past.
It was never about the short term win.. If that's what they wanted they would've brought in a different coach.. And the levers are percentages of income.. Not the whole income
Free signings are not "free". The system has changed, players now take that transfer money themselves in bonuses which would've gone to the club.
Players who are in their prime and are letting the contracts run down are going for this strategy. Mbappe juiced this to the extreme.
To me they should have just gone to defenders. That's all. Madrid has a way better strategy in the market and that is helping us to win trophies. Meanwhile barca had players, they had dembele depay(who could have been a left winger) aubameyang doing good and many others, why go for players you don't need?
Credits to Inter too which was underrated before the start of the group stage but demonstrated to be a such solid team with players of outstanding level Like Barella Lautaro chalnoglu Dumfries dimarco
For this kind of situation barca NEED a manager who can make a team. Like at Paris where Poch clearly couldn't manage egos, Galtier has made the players work as a team
Sam Allardyce is the answer
Xavi isn’t a bad manager, but not the right manager now for this team. The club needs to get a top Italian or Bundesliga coach to bring in fitness and tactic culture. Also Bundesliga especially focuses on younger players which BADcelona has.
As a lifetime Bayern fan. I love bodying them. So satisfying.
Thanks for making some of the most entertaining football recap/news content! Legend 🤙
You're too kind! Thank you so much Jared!
@@RabonaTV I have one little request. Could you stop using this commercialized names for stadiums? Like _"Spotify"_ Camp Nou or Signal Iduna Park instead of Westfalenstadion. No fan is using them. It always seems guys on TV have to use it. But you don't have to do this, right?
Xavi situation remind me of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer managing Man United except Xavi dealing with the unrelenting pressure of trying to bring Barcelona back to it’s former glory. I still think it’s a year or two early before debating on if Xavi should be sacked or not.
Transferring Auba over Lewa was certainly clear fail from Xavi, he now can leave. Auba is monster we are blessed last winter and yet everyone wanted dying Lewa LoL.
@@Darkh0r53 Dying? OMG 🤣Lewandowski is just one year older and he has better G/A ratio than Auba during his time in Barca.
@@vf7058 Minus the dressing room issues which Auba's shown both at Dortmund and Arsenal. In this particular case I actually think it was the right move.
The stubborn “we need the Barca way” has held them back so much and it’s hilarious
I really appreciated the jogi löw joke in your add, great work as usually :)
There's only one man who comes to mind when I think of the usefulness of a nose hair trimmer.😏
At least for something his legacy continues 😂
As a Barça fan, I will consider this season a failure only in may. Champions League wasn't a reachable target anyway imho, and the difference between a trophyless season and a season with a "small treble" (LaLiga, Copa del Rey and Europa League) is huge. And of course there are inbetweens. Going back to win LaLiga alone would be satisfying enough to me, but even Copa del Rey + Europa League would make me happy (just one of them, not so much). And of course LaLiga + one of the two cups would be great too. Of course being out of CL isn't ideal but I will be sad only when the season should become irredeemable. In May, we'll know.
I really had to put subtitles on to clarify what a "Liverpooling" is .. What do i know .. maybe my club had created a new term in the football space... But then i saw the sub and i got it .. i really did.. Lever Pulling.. Sometimes our brains just get a bit fuzzy ..
What, they really continuing the stadium rebuilding project?
Holy fk, this club is really nuts.
Just because your rival renovating their stadium, doesn't mean they have to do it too.
They already have a lot more problem to solve currently, and taking massive loan for stadium is insane decision.
I think its part of the spotify deal, if not yeah they are crazy
i think i have read that it should have been done long ago, and if they dont rebuild some of the stadium the stadium could be dangerous to be at
Mourinho was right
The stadium is old and worn out so it needs to be renovated
Literally the most underrated football creator on RUclips, man. Not only is your content quality itself great, but you're also incredibly consistent. Keep up the great work.
The big problem is that people don't realize that leveers will hurt them a lot long term
Mourinho was right about football heritage. Look at Barcelona the last 5 or so seasons in the CL. Spectacular drop outs, but this time they went out with a whimper. Sad
They should take a hint from FC Bayern and how they are run. I know the 50+ 1 rule does not apply in Spain. But Bayern are one of the best run Football Clubs in the world...and yes they are better at beating Barcelona as well. Quality content as always Bru. You deserve a BALL ó Dór for that "Speaking of Balls" joke. Peace.
well kind of hard to replicate bayern when they have had good leaders at the club while barca have had rosell and bartemou
Nobody asked. You literally got beat by Villarreal. Pipe down
Real Madrid are such a well run club, Barca were doing fine till Neymar left that’s when the cracks appeared
Another factor is that if they sack Xavi, A: they will have to pay him compensation and B: the manager they bring in will have higher wages and want their own players etc.
not exactly many mangers out there that barca would want either
@@shinebanana4084
Tuchel, Pochettino or try for Enrique after world cup
@@harshagrawal1056 tuchel has haf drama at the 3 last clubs he was at, i think poch would not be better than xavi, enrique would be perfect but idk if he will come back
Legendary transition to the sponsor 🤣
Football fans slept good after last Night. This is Football Heritage! 😭
I think Barça should go all in for the Europa League, considering its the only European trophy they haven't won so far (even during the UEFA Cup days).
I agree with you.
I hate Barca but I think it would be embarrassing for the club and their fans, if they fail to win the Europa league in two consecutive seasons with arguable one of the best squads in the competition this season...
it would show that not only are they far behind the best in Europe but also behind teams that either have never been elite or teams that a trying to get back to their glory days.
Either way the situation with Barcelona makes me so immensely happy
They should focus on the league. And then try to go and win the Europa League
Not true. Conference league trophy is also something they haven't won
theyll lose it
😂😂😂 debtcelona fans stressed out here convincing themselves still they're the best team in the world 😬 am shocked how can u be the best without winning sh*t for 7 years straight 😂 and how tf are they going to win uel when teams like juventus, atletico, assnal, ajax and utd in it 😁😂 debtcelona is truly a finished club
I’m still asking myself, just how much were clubs like Barcelona relying on the income from the European Super League.
All of them. They were mostly hurting for cash or being greedy.
@@AKUNJIG it seems that the other 11 are not hurting as much though.
Some were fine, but could not allow for themselves to be left behind financially by the growth of a new income generating League. Wink wink EPL.
@@abdulkadiral-mudhafari of course the EPL could never let itself be left behind. Still puzzled how three EPL clubs who never won the ECL could be included in the Super League.
I could bore you with a list of clubs more suitable for a European Super League than Arsenal, Man City or Spurs.
I agree with you. My issue with the super League idea was the lack of relegation. It's the financial appeal these teams will provide is what made them part of 12.
Barca had a really good young core with Fati, Dejong, Dembele,Pedri, Gavi, Dest, Araujo. But Xavi and Laporta decided to spend a couple hundred million for players playing the same position but are older. Patience would have been the best option as their CL place is pretty secure regardless. Play for 2024 and develop what you have.
fati and dembele great young players but goddamn they are so much injured.
In 2009 Barcelona fans were at the top of the world. The thing is that they thought the journey was done and because of it, Barcelona was at the top of the world FOREVER. They never imagined that is not having a good season or 2 or 3. Is having decades of good football, with different players and different teams.
Barcelona had 3 sensational years, that's it.
20 years ago Madrid fans understood is not about buying players (The galacticos) but building a team for 5 seasons. In 2022 Barca fans haven't understood this yet. That's why they keep talking about Messi, the Treble, etc. That's the only history of the club. They have a long road of learning.
Karma for kounde
As a Bayern fan it sucks to see Barca not qualify for a CL again.
As a Bayern fan, its fucking amazing seeing Barca where they are. Fuck them, spending billions and still being shit. Spain version of Man United. Fuck both!
@ThatTriniJay isnt Bayern - Barca historically 10-1-2 and 33:13 goald now?
@ThatTriniJay lol it's always been a thrashing
we will be back just a tough group this season
Barcelona is just Arsenal replacement for being Bayern's punching bag
Pick like Jogi Löw 😂😂😂 You sold me! Also…great video, as always!
Barca are back baby! Shakira Shakira! Cmon baby when you talk like that, levers levers levers levers levers, oooo baby, levers, oo baby lever McBarca!!!!
Sadly I think the democratic nature of the club is hurting them, Laporta only has 4 years and so he gambled everything for immediate success in order to cover himself in glory and get re elected. It never made any sense considering the majority of the the squad is either u21 or well into their 30s. The club needs to be patient and develop the talent while moving on from the old legends, not try competing while simultaneously being too young and too old with a young inexperienced manager. Barca tried playing both sides and unlike the meme you never come out on top when you do that
Great video again man, Barca’s signings and salaries have been woeful. Don’t mind Pique, Ter Sergen and Busquets having high salaries but dropping €150 mil on Coutinho , €150 mil on Griezzman and then 200 mill plus on Dembele (when salary included) is what is killing the club
the way you can even turn the ads into enjoyable content is such a talent. nobody doing this youtube thing like you man, especially not on the football side. the only youtuber i've been watching religiously with no stops for years.
Honestly Adrian you're an inspiration to us content makers. Your video quality is phenomenal. I don't even feel like I'm watching YT. It's more like watching a proper TV channel full of knowledge. Thank you once again for such a wonderful video. Also the Manscaped add was jokes hahahah.
You have convinced me, and my return to my love of football as my team no longer makes me cry… come on the Toon!
What I never understood was the urge to bring all these new players at high wages. Xavi last season proved he could turn the floundering team to the 2nd best team in La Liga. If I were the president I would have let Xavi ride with the same squad and promote the younger players and then in the summer of 23 see what pieces you need.. What's the worst that could happen, you finish second or third in La Liga and miss out the champion league at a cost of XX million. Well the worst is going to happen. Finish 2nd in La Liga and miss out on the CL group stage at a cost of XXXX millions.
No hate to adrian. Love the content. But gotta love how everyone in this comment section is just rambling on about bad finacial decisions and the club being run badly while being so ignorant as to not acknowledge that the current board is not responsible for this mess. They were just handed over a big mess by bartomeu and are just trying to fix the club. These same people who also wont aknowlege that injuries also played a part in barcas ucl exit. Its not like all the players they signed were firing in all cylinders when they went down. They just made good of what they had
Bro you gotta do one on Flamengo going unbeaten in libertsdores
Chelsea fan here to drink those tears and enjoy the demise.
How's the going on right now
How's the relegation going on ? 😂😂😂
😂
Chelshit 😂
Aaaand barca is back
Music to our ears
It saddens me to see how much money Laporta wasted. They would have had the same results had they spent nothing. That money would have cut their debt in half and they which would have offset much of the revenue loss through interest savings. Laporta got spend happy and it will bite them now.
It's funny how all our targets chose Barcelona only to end up in the Europa league. Now we're enjoying Potter-ball in the RO16.
Fax
Disappointing, but still they are playing at a club with much more culture and meaning. That still means something to some players it seems.
Yea but at least they started with champions league football and barca will be in the ucl again next year
@@assquiat Modern players r stupid & they should fire their agents. How come these super agents couldnt tell whats coming for Barca? They ruined their clients. De Jong is owed almost 80-90 mil how will he get out now? Hes not gonna give up on that money.
@@assquiat Lewandowski is came from Bayern Munich,
Do you think that Bayern is less cultural than Barcelona🤣🤣
Damn 2 videos in 2 days, did Christmas come early this year?
The first title was actually in 1992 not 1991 :) They beat Sampdoria 1-0 in the final
As an RM fan, I find this all so funny
As a Bayern Munich fan, I find this all so funny as well. “Who the f*ck is Barcelona? Hey, oh hey!”
It's sad that a Club that was known as the Cathedral of Football because of their Academy is now wasting away because of bad Financial Decisions.
Best manscaped ad since Ty from AFTV shaved a kiwi
Always quality content
Another issue at Barca people aren’t talking about is that for the inter matches our full team wasn’t available as we had many injuries.
They’ll refuse to acknowledge the injuries so that they can fuel the media agenda that barca is just broke
Excuses 😂
@@lancerevo9747 Homie we have 5 cbs and 3 were injured lol
I think we could have classified for the round of 16 but we were unlucky with injuries and we had refers devisions going against us
From now on i will always laugh my ass off when Levers r mentioned. Just last night someone said lever in another context, that shit gave me cramps. 😂😂
Amazing analysis as always !!!!!
2:17 "You can pick like Jogi Löw. " 🤣🤣🤣
Barcas obsession with keeping up with Madrid brought this…
Speaking of balls, our sponsor manscape
This add was awesome bro keep it up
I think Barcelona should look at clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, heck, even Real Madrid. They were a dumpster fire (sort of) when Ronaldo left but right now, they look so good. Hopefully, they come back stronger as La Liga is getting a bit stale where one team dominates over the competition.
real was never a dumsterfire doe, had one of season is not that bad
Barcelona never been kicked 6-1 in your captain last match
@@shinebanana4084 yeah it wasn't bad... but they knew they were transitioning and held it together.
Everytime Adrian says "Lever pulling" I think of something else....
I’m sure they will pull another lever or two to keep hot water running next season
It was a stupid risk
Building from LA masica and maybe make few signing would have worked fine
So much for their economic levers…
the problem with giving xavi time is that barcelona doesnt have time they sold their future incomes and need to win now they build the team to win now. the expectations were set too high and them using the levers was a mistake because it raised the expectations of everyone while not changing or adapting to the players he has
barcelona ha made alot new signings and have xavi as fairly new coach i find it stupid to call for him to be sacked after not winning against real madrid who is the best club in the world, and then losing to bayern and inter which have had far more time to put toghter a competent side. inter have won serie a and came second in the tittle race last seaon, inter should beat barca as they are a more established side
Zidane did the three peats without excessive bought in the transfer market
Zidane had a prime CR7 what do Barcelona have? Big game flop Lewa?
@@1997lordofdoom Lewa is the only factor that keeps barca alice lol
Honestly, Barca overpaid massively on transfers as well, I like Raphinha, not for 70m, Ferran for 50 was way to expensive as well, honestly, Barca should have taken a slower approach to things, they literally have la masía, incredible talent for free from their academy, it's incredibly arrogant to believe that success was a guarantee in your finances, also, Xavi is really inexperienced and it shows
Ferran barely even played for City and yet they somehow conned that 50 million out of them to make a 20 million profit on him.
@@taliamason7986 and the irony is that Barca is also keeping him on the bench
I don’t understand how they want success when they have an inexperienced coach
The time Barca beats Bayern will be the time we can all say Barca is back.
How the fortune of the 2 clubs have flipped
All praise papa Perez for that
Chelsea FC sends their regards Barcelona. Who laughs last, laughs best
12th FC 😂
Finally early keep up the good work Adrian
Under Koeman he barely got any reinforcements outside of freebies and La Masia meanwhile Xavi got so many and even then barely manages to produce great results, under Xavi Barca decided to buy senior citizens, 2 attackers that didn’t/don’t add anything.
And several players who have started to regress especially in FDJ.
Saying Xavi needs to grow in this role is not an excuse, if he wasn’t ready for he shouldn’t have taken the damn job.
Sorry Adrian I disagree with the notion that Xavi needs more time this isn’t an Arsenal situation.
Barcalever FC
Barcelona has to do a AC Milan and start from scratch
The only club to increase wages and transfers when they are facing bankruptcy... and press on with stadium renovations....
That segway though 😭 made me chuckle
They have only 1 option left and that is winning the leaugue
100% they are living beyond their means but, also, you can make a serious amount of money in europa. man u made 79 point something last year, which is about 5 million quid less than a champs semi exit. in modern football 5 million is an agents fee
Time's ticking for barca, it is...but, how fast it would be...this either gonna be a massive clutch escape or a start of true financial downfall
Look, maybe I’m not an expert in the field of placemaking, since I’ve just developed a million m2 of leasable/sellable commercial real estate in over a decade, but have you considered moving the museum to a temporary space and/or create popup museums in Barcelona and all around the world? Guys, guys, this is why you need a “magical golden generation” every time things are sour
Now they "tapa tap" "tapa tap"🌚
As a Chelsea fan I couldn’t be happier. My hate for Barcelona started back in 09 when we were robbed of a final.
The 2nd greatest robbery of all time
@@tebogo743 nah I’m celebrating bc Barcelona is shit
Cry more 12th FC
Your club is finished man. At least they are owned by the fans
I always find it really really hard to sympathize for someone who dug this hole themselves and is constantly digging but acts like this should just be handed to them because of things they did in the past. It's the definition of entitlement and I hate it. So whatever happens to Barcelona, you'll get no sympathy from me because you did it to yourself.
Actually Bartomeu did this to them. But but you make a fair point. Laporta could've focused on the academy. But then you sacrifice your reputation. I wonder if people choose Dortmund over Bayern at 25 and in the best form of their life given that Bayern is the main winners and Dortmund are more of a feeder club. (in theory)
@@simoncaton1226 wasnt barcas reason for success on the past their focus on the academy?
And they expect that they won’t be allowed to fail, really, because “everyone knows” UEFA need a Barcelona and will look the other way or create an exception no matter what Barca do.
@@simoncaton1226 it's also about having to look yourself in the mirror and be completely honest that you aren't in the same position that you were and you have to play within your means. If you don't have the budget to spend like real Madrid, then don't spend above your means and when it all blows up say how much help you need?
I don’t think they expect things to be handed to them, they are just desperate to win. Over the past 15 years, the team has gotten used to something which has ended at this point. They want to get back to that state, but don’t deserve to.
Actually their plan of big win is okay but they choose the wrong opponent (Bayern)
The problem is Barcelona will not learn. No bank or investor will call in their loans, the club is too valuable to the Spanish economy. They’ll continue to gamble their future until the club is a shell of its former self.
I think they also still owe money to Bayern for Vidal
Lever pull or Liverpool ;)
Liverfool in Europa League
Hey man I LOVE your ad
That ad was class
This just shows how big clubs could help themselves by making the UEL and other UEFA competitions be more valuable. Because you can’t always win everything and even historic clubs will have periods of difficulty sooner or later (for example Barcelona took over 30 years to win their first Champions League only making 2 finals between 55/56 and 91/92, Inter and AC Milan throughout the 2010’s; Liverpool from the 90’s until Klopp’s arrival; United since Sir Alex Ferguson retired
Would love an update on this video about how winning the and lowering their wages affects them.
adrian quick correction, 8:04, barcelona won their first ucl in 1992, not 1991
I predict very dark times coming in these next few years for this club. As a real Madrid fan, honestly I can say it hurts to see them in this state. I grew up watching pep guardiola's iteration of Barcelona and I can't put into words how magical that team played. To see them like this now, it's just a shame.
I too (as a Madridista) feel for Barcelona. Aside from the fierce rivalry, Real Madrid can't survive without them and this makes me a little concerning that La Liga will become a farmers league or worse... it might make Real Madrid turn into the next Bayern. RIP.
As barca fan I wondered how real fans felt about barcas current crisis. Some of my friend say that they’re happy because barca is doing bad. I always found that weird, i thought it’s fun when you have competition
Why are you obsessed with Barça. Stick to your club
The problem at Barca is that they keep trying to emulate the golden era of the tiki taka with Messi. Problem is that tiki taka only worked cause of Xavi and Iniesta.
They need a whole new system.
They crucify Koeman for trying 3 at the back
@@MasonGreenWeed No we don’t mate Koeman was just a terrible manager.
EXCUSE FC Barca fans were itching for this season to start just for them to end up like this
