La Liga 2023/24

This fanbase has truly descended into mass psychosis. It's like they've all became Harmonica back when he followed Barça.

Honestly, I never considered that a foul as Kroos just got overpowered. Perhaps a review was needed but I personally had no issues with it. Really good corner and really poor goalkeeping resulted in that one.

As for the 2nd line, another example of masters of their own demise. I know Barca fans (not just here) mentioned mismanagement and it is a case of mismanagement but always remember that the ones that mismanaged Barcelona were voted in by the socios of Barcelona. Not some boogey man or Madrid plant, their own paid up members.

But it's easier to blame it all on external factors than realising that you are the problem.

Almost certain he is referring to the fan base in general and not just GL.

Two things can be true at once

It's in their culture, never take responsibility for your fuck-ups and just constantly victimize yourself. they even suppress their own players (Gundogan) who sometimes speak up.

Xavi not saying a single word about the guy who was the main the culprit on all three goals that they conceded but yea blame it all on the ref.

Is this image recent or from 2020? I've seen madridzone posting some really fraudulent and old images to bamboozle, i guess they have cheating in their nature

Latest rumours have it that Xavi might continue instead by the following season. Thoughts?

Xavi will continue in the next season!

All of net reporting Xavi will stay for another yrs then Im happy, given alternatives non existent apart from Marquez which would have been a disaster I think... but seems like the club is really broke, so I dont think we will be making any big signings, but prolly more clear out hopefully n importantly need to sign a proper LW at least for cheap... n ideally a proper DM for cheap too

Rather have a coach from outside. One of the biggest problems of this institution we call Barca is its 'club de amigos' nature where nepotism and sticking your friends everywhere you can is detrimental especially long term

Flick was ready to take over. Instead we got more of Xavi and his flip flap brother. I may be wrong, and Xavi is not the worst of managers, but we really need someone with a more neutral view who can possibly instill a new mentality into this team. Xavi moans and bickers way too much.

Would have loved Flick, but doubt we could afford him is the problem Definitely right though Flick would instill some tough mentality n also entertaining football with his crazy 3-1-6 or whatever formation

Xavi havent done bad though, n the mentality of the team has been great I think given what we've got, its just a lot of our players arent good enough vs the top teams, its that simple, bar a few, everyone has been giving their all at least mentality... n I can understand his so called complaining since we have been robbed so many times this season But I think he will tone down n get used to it as times goes, n what matters most is his actions n progression with the team...

Looks like we are still pretty fked financially Might have to sell even more of our assets n parts this summer if we wanna sign big names, otherwise Im not expecting any big name unless they are on cheap or frees

Camp Nou revamp wont be done for another 2 yrs n we wont be benefiting from the new capacity until 2026-7 season I think? So still fked for the next couple of seasons I imagine...

Real will win everything during that time at least so next season Xavi should just aim for finishing second at best, min. CL spot obviously, n make a run in the cups, n continue developing the kids

Yolo or not, we’re in a great spot in the league and I look forward to seeing Guler play from the start.

He just scored, Thimmy

That was an excellent cross to him by Carvajal I hope Guler learns, sooner rather than later, that there’s no point in arguing with the ref.

I agree, but he’s not a Barcelona player Pressuring the ref isn’t going to make things better.

Real B beats the 6th placed team in the league This gonna be Bayern/PSG in the domestic league style for the next decade...

Araujo is probably finished, sold in the summer.

Hmm.. so Xavi says he will continue n then the players are like back to cbf again? XD Maybe Xavi should announce he will leave again considering what we are seeing lol...

Lucky Araujo not sent off tbh...
