No Hazard Isco or Vinicius
Vinicius has gastroenteritis, Hazard just came back so probably not risking it. No idea what happened to Isco
isnt isco not in a good form rn?
Not really
He played decent last game off the bench
But hasn’t done anything before that
Hmm it seems as though Isco had a strong blow to the ankle, however a serious injury has been ruled out.
We were nearly about to have a squad with 0 injuries for the first time in God knows how long 😭
is the channel closed? @alpine socket @icy crypt
Yeah
ffs
Yep
Full Time
2-2
Pffs
Actual clowns
lol yeah
Woop woop
but still disappointed
So you’re 8 pts from Atleti and they have a game in hand
yeah this club 
lol shut it
Since Koeman has made his subs, I feel like absolutely no-one understands what position they’re supposed to be playing in.
1005
That's right
Messi woke up hungry today
- 1 Var goal
- 0 assists
- 0 key passes
- 0 chances created
- 1/16success dribbles
- 2 offside
- 27 times lost possession
1 missed penalty as well
Nice stats
Stats ronaldo would die for
Where did u get it tho
Lmfaoo this guy hates Messi
as per usual
Okay, messi has been amazing this season
"not at his best"
"shite"
Not his level, but barca's best player still
ok 😐
Last time I checked griezmann had more open play goals+assists
Yep
he isnt in a role to score goals, pretty much conclude your football knowledge
yea? Is that why he takes 15 shots and all not on target or straight to the keeper?
15 shots out of how many games?
Bruh
\
Just see our opponents
this guy clearly doesnt appreciate him as our legend
They form the wall the entire game
Ignore him
Yet to release
Después del Papa.... teníamos que hablar con ÉL.
Muy pronto, en @laSextaTV, entrevista en exclusiva.
Y me hace una ilusión que no os podéis ni imaginar...

Teaser
la decision 3
Messi took 33 combined shots against Juve, Cadiz and Levante and scored 1
That's some serious conversion rate right there
His combined xG for those 3 games was 2.3
@velvet sphinx so you dont like him to be at our club? you dont appreciate anything that he has done?
chill the fuck out mate, he is bad for his standard
Bad by any standards
"disrespecting him" sure lmao
the fact that you once called him a traitor, fraud
I'd rather disrespect him, if that's what you call it, than dickride him
Lol
i dont dickride him
he lost the ball more this season i agree
doesnt mean he isnt doing anything?
Idc what he says neither should u Freddy
1 goal in 33 shots, let that sink in
sure
He’s still by far your best player
nahh
Yes he is
ter stegen > rn
Fati won’t do nearly as well without him
And Ter Stegen literally made a huge mistake recently
Fati would be way better if he was fit
dont realize how important he is playing as his role
33 shots, 1 goal with 2.3 xG. I'll leave it there
Messi is your main creative output
Pedri can’t even get a pass forward
De Jong is a CDM
0 assists in la liga
I never said he’s playing good
Bruh doesn't watch match
I just said he’s still by far your best player
What can we say
this guy just pulled out goals and assists
But then again, Messi ain’t competing with much to be the best at Barca
ik you are toxic, at least you are sensible 
Tomorrow releasing
he has 2 assists this season in all competition, with 5.5 xA lmao
again, pulling out stats 😐
I’d take Messi
And has created the most chances in Europe
That interview leo??
Saying pulling out stats like I'm making them up
Not his fault these bums can’t score
Yah it’s releasing tomorrow
Still messi has most goals for barca
will it release in youtube?
against Ferencváros? sure lmao
hopefully i can watch for free in youtube
All this szn dumbass
what a troll
Any time of release leo?
4 of those "chances created" were against Ferencváros
Hasn't created more than 2 against anyone else
Do you even watch barca's game?
Lmao can't argue with the stat's can you?
goal and assist dont mean everything
Said most chances created in europe when most of those were against hungarian farmers
Bruhhh, I've also mentioned Goal Creating Actions, xA and xG lmao
so you are saying he didnt create any chances at any other games?
"goals and assists don't mean anything" lmao
it dont mean everything, football isnt about stats
Ok, thanks for the info leo
you are the one in disagreement here, even a rival fan in agreement
no, but you are the only one in disagreement
Freddy why do u care abt his opinions 
of course I'm in disagreement with messi dickriders lmao
He isn't the first neither last to slander messi
@torn ermine CBA
we didnt even dickride him, we watched the game and watch how he plays, while you only pulling out the stats
i agree he lost the ball quite a few times
not at his best as well
his shooting has been off
passing not as great as before, but still okay
literally our team's fault you would blame it on him
So to sum it up, he is getting dispossessed easily, stinks at shooting with average passing
lmao
so who to you is our best player? outside our goalkeeper?
But it's team's fault he is scoring 1 of 33 shots
literally he is our main creativity
It was fati
Because players like jordi and busi only pass to him most of the times
so you are comparing his goals rn?
So that's why it looks like he's central to everything, when in reality he hasn't done much for most of our open play goals
sure whatever you say blud, still our main creator (if you really watch the match, which you dont)
When the ball goes to messi and he tries to dribble outside the box, you can bet your ass the move is ending right there
he do create chances which his teammate cant score?
Has literally no stats to back his theory lmao
if he did create chances, it would show up in his stats
so you are saying he didnt create anything?
he has done nothing?
Never said that, but he hasn't been good
He has created chances, like every no. 10 does
that is why im saying he isnt at his best? whats wrong with that?
you said bad by any standards, im sure he is still better than any arsenal players?
he is bad by his standards
Arsenal aren't a top team tho
you exaggerate it to "any standard"
Okay, maybe I took it too far. He's been bad by any world class player's standards, how about that?
Cuz messi until this season wasn't just a world class player
debatable, its not like his class is gone
still a top tier player
I'm losing hope
Sociedad drawing to Levante. Nice.
yus. and hoping Osasuna scores another one to draw.
Sociedad losing to Levante
Score ?
2-1 Levante
Ahh they bottled it lmao
FT
Levante 2 - 1 Sociedad
And it was ex Madrid player Jorge de Frutos to seal the deal
Sociedad dropping points but Villareal got a win
Villareal won though
Need an Eibar masterclass tomorrow tbh
This would be a perfect weekend
Hopefully we don’t start Asensio
Sociedad going downnn
But it’s looking like we will with Vinicius and Hazard out
Unless we play Rodrygo LW, but I highly doubt Zidane would
Isn't Asensio Zidane's favorite player?
there goes Sociedad's title hopes if there were any
Alguacil brought back down to earth by mighty Eibar and Levante
wow
now there’s apparent footage of puig and pjanic apparently laughing and making fun of koeman’s decisions from the bench at today’s game.
Yeah it's gonna be blown out of proportion
certainly
For all we know they made a knock knock joke
It's just gonna be dramatized for the sake of it
the media will do whatever to breakdown the dressing room
Unai A, hip hip hurray
I have an intuition that Atletico are about to start dropping plenty of points
Their next games are
Real Sociedad ✈️
Getafe 🏠
Alaves ✈️
Bilbao 🏠
Sevilla 🏠
If they get 15 points from that they absolutely and undisputably deserve the title
RM have much easier games
the next few stretches of our games are comparatively easier
but you know how we do against "easy" teams 
waiting for us to lose to elche ngl
that "easy" teams always play 10 at the box
good luck
lol
yeah 😔
Eibar(A)
Granada(H)
Elche(A)
Celta Vigo(H)
doesnt sound too bad
but we always seem to play at our worst against these types of teams
especially worried about granada
😈

(🌕) LAST MINUTE: Dembele is back in full training this morning, and is on track to be part of the squad for Tuesday’s game against Valladolid. @samuelmarsden #FCB 🇫🇷⚡️🚨
1058
nice

Woo
Just take him at Madrid
just let him play at madrid please
no asensio starting dubbb
rodrygo lw dubbbbb
wow an actual lineup that i have no bad comments about
Let's go Eibar!
No
Please
Valladolid need the points
they arent really Basque
your just try harding
dont even use our culture
ok but do any other team do?
exactly
(sometimes)
so why don't you say that about alaves
Alaves are chads

you can beat likes of Barca and Atleti
but lose to likes of Alaves and Shakhtar
this La Liga title race is so weird
We have a lot of difficult games coming up
Benzema🤦♂️🤦♂️
Rodrygo 🤦🏾♂️
?
📊| No team has scored more goals (25) than Real Madrid in La Liga this season. #rmalive
256
if barcelona really wants to succeed
this has been ajax main reason for success imo
Villareal has to drop points now
Barca has more chances of winning UCL than la liga
nah
barca has more chances of winning la liga
than cl
cl is too stacked
plus Bayern are probably gonna man handle every team
again
Barca need to rebuild then think about competing again
Zidane is already using the old guard and it is working well
well
Atletico have to be careful
sure they have 2 games in hand but
their upcoming games are not exactly cake walk
we got Villarreal in 2 days
I couldn't watch the game yesterday I fell asleep 😭
Sorry @coarse ocean I couldn't be there!!
But hala madrid!!! 3-1 is noice!!
Koeman will give the squad four days of Christmas holidays. The demands of the calendar, the pandemic and the sporting situation don't leave room for more. After the short Christmas break, Barça will face five games in fifteen days. [sport]
1099
Do or die games ahead
Eibar u disappointed us
i dont think a win against eibar was too much in doubt
granada are the big one next
and i think celta
Que tal jabalis
Visca barca
Vamos Atleti
Atleti 😉
AUPA ATLETI
Love Atleti
they still got 1 game in hand 
Choose one. Visca barca or vamos atleti lmaoo

We have 2
Proud
I hope silly Diego doesn’t do swaps like the one he did last game
lol
Are you atleti fan @thin ivy
😔
Second Suarez goal vs elche was beautiful
Yeahh theyll give away their top spot sooner or later
Always
Either diego doesnt score or a hole in defense
Diego is always fun to watch though
I watch atleti sometimes when real isnt playing
diego isnt scoring much as before
age is catching costa up, so i cant blame him
Not catching his mouth
Diego Costa is a dead man walking
The only thing missing in the team is a dynamic striker
Suarez can be a hit and miss
Messi: "I know the club is going through a difficult time, at a team and club level, but I'm looking forward to it."
196
buena suerte messi 🙏
will messi interview release in youtube? @hybrid python
Maybe on their channel
But ya it will be leaked worldwide anyways
yeah okay
🗣 @jordievole (the journalist who took the Messi interview: “Messi tells us a lot about him & his character, about his experiences when he came to Barcelona as a child beyond what we already knew, his family, his relationship with the city, life, children, routine, etc” #FCB 🇦🇷
431
Looks like he is staying

i'm not sure tbh, but yeah he probably would stay
"I feel good, eager and excited. I know club is going through difficult time, at a team and club level, but I'm looking forward to it"

xavi 😭 😭
No team has
Tomorrow's match comes too early for @Dembouz. https://t.co/qr1djjCrIX
225
dembouz wont play for next match, most probably will play in eibar match
pog
LMAO waj 

Have you heard what the fans are calling A. GRIEZMANN?
Bruhzmann. I think it suits him!
Koeman is angry that Eibar didn't get that penalty
Well Real would've still won
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
what? when?
Barca trynna get neymar back?
no??
that guy is still candidate, they all always do this to get votes from during election
neymar to barca is like impossible rn
I doubt he would want to come back anyways with rumored messi transfer
🐐
He beat zarra
He is staying till summer then
my captain 👑
Tough game ahead
I read somewhere that Felix and Griezmann swap was a thing
I like that squad
Bartomeu wanted to make the swap but Cerezo refused the swap
If we can get the tactics, formation and discipline right we should do well today
Oh I'm expecting a tight matchup
Our attack needs to be on point and Suarez needs to have a big game for us to comfortably take the W
I expect the starting XI to be
Oblak
Trippier Savic Felipe Hermoso
Llorente Koke Saul Lemar
Correa Costa
Last year we used to switch the striker every game
I'd take a draw
❗️Presidential Pre-Candidate @victor_font has announced that he has reached pre-agreements with different companies so that UNICEF will once again be in the front of the club’s shirt. [via @santiovalle] #ElectionsFCB ✍🏻👕

why so silence here today
Up the Real
¿Alguien habla español aquí?
Si
🐐 👑
I'd be really confident having him as president
Vamos Sociedad !!!
Having mixed feelings cause i want them both to drop points 
then Draw is the answer 
Yea but i dont think itll draw

@feral palm didnt know your phone is oneplus 😍
7 pro?
Nah 6, but I'm gonna upgrade next year
Ohh yea I saw cenler wanted his wallpaper
I actually have a album
From 2014-2020
goal
do you allow usage of those?
Diego Costa won’t extend his contract with Atlético Madrid. He’s set to leave the club in January - or next June as a free agent if no bids will arrive next month. 🔴⚪️ @MatteMoretto #Atleti #AtleticoMadrid
That 3-5-2 low-key worked well
A good system to use when we are without Dembele and Ansu
How was the game
playing with only one 10 will always work
I wouldn't say so as he was one of the main reasons we had a successful 13/14 season
It is just he dosen't have it anymore
Probably especially if he gets a good MLS, Asian or Gulf leagues opportunity
Messi will overtake
lets go, bag the golden boot
@feral palm you made those wallpapers?
come on suarez 😤
Should i watch madrid v granada later or should i sleep
if villareal and sociedad lose in their next matches and we win vs eibar we are back at top 3
@grave glen @torn ermine
Mustafi's agent meets with the Barcelona board often but a move will only take place in the summer once the player becomes a free agent. [@AdriCarmonaNK via @ZRAFC]
What


ATENCIÓN!!! El representante de Mustafi afirma que está en Barcelona negociando con el Barça
😭
@grave glen
mustafi > ramos 🥶 🔥
@fringe galleon
no fucking way 🤬
@zenith estuary

oh come on
@torn ermine world cup winner, relax
this is a nightmare 😭
@grave glen

Pain
Public agent

i see what you did there 
Mustafi might come good at barca, same way monreal did at sociedad
Arsenal sending its troopz to infiltrate and relegate other clubs

@torn ermine who knows mate
Santi


@zenith estuary ohh i think the barcelona they meant is espanyol 


Ffs
@Sp1rit#9274 last night, we played quite well, messi not playing with griezmann and coutinho seems to improve our gameplay, also to mention it is a new formation (3-4-1-2) with alba and dest as wingback
your thoughts?

I think it was done because we got shattered against cadiz who were somewhat similar so this time koeman chose 3 atb to create superiority vs their 2 STs
Dest and alba gave width and braithwaite stretches the defense to create space for pedri and messi
Worked quite well
yeah i was surprised last night tbh
Don't think he will keep cou on the bench for long but he should
Mustafi lol
everyone had high hopes for cou after his return, what happened?
We just couldn't play him in his ideal positions bc we have Griezmann and Messi and Pedri to consider
Coutinho hasn't necessarily done bad this season though
Barca fans just exaggerating
As per
@grave glen
we have players who suit the system more than cou and hence should start ahead of him imo
I genuinely think the lineup for the Eibar game should be unchanged
Except for Firpo coming in for Alba obv
No point rushing Dembele in to start the game, we can just sub him in towards the end
One of these two starting lineups
for?
for breaching FAs anti-betting rule
Vrslkajo
you mean Vrsaljko
Trippier

FFS man
I think atletico will try to appeal it because it looks like it wasn't his fault

@stiff fjord
head 2 head first
then goal difference if the h2h hasnt happened or was equal
Alright
Atletico said they did not get any communication from La Liga or Uefa related to Trippier's suspension
W @grim thicket
We top of the league anyway 😏
wait whaaat
I checked an we aren't
Is Laliga not H2H first?
I really don't understand the rule
I mean the point of the rule
Its not like they would purposely lose for the money
They still want their team to win
It's not that
Basically what he did
Was like insider trading
He told people about his move to Atletico before it happened
And they put money on it
How is that his fault then
According to the letter of the law, he was not allowed to tell his wife, kids, parents or friends that he would be moving to Spain until the deal was already done because they told someone else who made a bet on it.
Total joke
Well no I know they can tell their partners and immediate family
He can tell whoever he wants it seems
But he's the one responsible if they place a bet because of it
Hi
wassup people....me feels good
granada was a tough opponent
and puertas missed those opportunities man, that was sad to watch
and rodrygo injured 
but good to see asensio gain some momentum, he was phenomenal with his crosses yesterday
Haha I remember when everyone said that Asensio's going be the next Messi
they are going yo be worse 
Lmao what
Also would they ditch saka then
Or Marti
Which begs the fact
Why the fuck is Marti in u23
Vini should learn how to shoot first
I thought Arsenal wanted Isco
UCL is the requirement my guy 
lol
I don't blame him at all
lmao vini to anywhere aint gonna happen with so many injuries happening
hazard just came back and now rodrygo is down
so vini def aint going anywhere 
i dont think so
and rodrygo's injury seems serious
right hamstring.....thats like a month atleast
trippier suspension was from the day when he was in tottenham bruh 
Umm hwat
I'm a little more worried about psg now..
you should be
PSG have a great attack
true they have no midfield, but rn, neither do barca
They have a decent midfield on paper once everyone is back tbf
@grim thicket our midfield is starting to take shape
Pedri and De Jong have picked up in form recently
We just need Busquets and Pjanic to do their thing
Alena aswell is a good option
how many games has alena played so far? and any istinguished performanceS?
yo why aren't we first
isn't head 2 head above gd
or is it cause the 2 games in hand atleti have
Looks like poch is taking over PSG
He's made a few substitute performances and hasn't put a foot wrong yet
He played double pivot with pjanic I think a few weeks ago, played the full 90 and had like 99% pass accuracy with most of them being progressive passes
He is so underrated
wait what!
he did't say anything about that
is it official?
Tuchel is still in charge
Also
whyyy
we need to sell him
Is that Eriksen swap deal still on the cards
🍾 To celebrate Messi’s record: @Budweiser are sending out a personalized bottle to each goalkeeper Messi has scored past in his career, with some GK’s getting more than one. All bottles will include a different number, which would refer to Messi’s goal tally. #FCB 🇦🇷⚡️

1617
oops
Casillas man
Feels bad for him
⚠️Iker Casillas has been arrested drunk in the Madrid capital after he downed seventeen Budweiser bottles sent by Leo Messi. (@sidlowe)
1009
8080
Parody acc
I am sure P$G will bottle it vs barca 100% now
are you sure?
with poch they could be better
tbh
Depends if he tries to change the tactics or not
The players still have to adapt to his style in order to perform
I hope this is successful
Merry Christmas compañeros.
Feliz Navidad amigos!!
ayy Merry Christmas amigos!!
Feliz Navidad my friends ❤️
Merry Christmas my fellow La Liga fans!!
That look dope
Valladolid
Rly?
Also
Mundo Deportivo says Jovic is going back to Eintracht
lol thats parody account its @barcacenler with "l" 
@grim thicket sorry for the banter on madrid, just want to shut this vini kid off 
eric garcia is 100% joining us
good
👀
Rodrygo out for 3 mnths just when he was getting into form!!
atleast we got hazard back now, hoping he doesnt get injured again
All you can do, is hope 😛
Oh yea i forgot, barca dont even have that....sorry for flexing with our hope @elfin flower 😛
its a muscle tear, which may possibly affect the tendon on his right leg, doctors arent sure
he was just getting into his groove
im spitting faxx tho
Faxx hurt Cent 

Oof move
shithouse
In full form
@grim thicket who's madrid playing next?
elche should be a win the way we are playing, unless we revert to our earlier form 
once we break the press we are pretty good going forward
@iron marten are you spanish?
No but I can speak a bit
El FC Barcelona ya no es un verdadero equipo sin Messi
También deseo que el Sevilla FC avance contra Dortmund
wow 2021 alrdy sounds better
lol
messi said he is excited and eager to play this season in last week interview, doubt he is thinking about it rn
probably the match against PSG later will decide on his future tbh
He was in a good mood for last two matches
Para mi es uno de los partidos mas interesantes de la ronda de 16
Los otros ya esta claro quien va a ganar
#465815291465564182 message
Is it just me who thinks we don't really need him
It's not like he's a young prospect
Estoy muy asustada por Haaland y especialmente por Diego Carlos. Espero que no saque una tarjeta roja. Pero todavía tenemos mucho tiempo hasta febrero, veamos qué es lo que va a cambiar jaja
Por que tienes miedo de Carlos?
en europa lo ha echo muy bien
y en laliga no le han sacado rojas
Su gol contra el Inter fue buenisimo
A veces juega muy peligroso, no creo que sea un mal defensor, pero es mejor que cuide su espalda
Haha why are we talking in spanish
I can also speak english😂
Oh yeah for sure
Faxx, frauds
They will lose to a side like eibar one matchday then beat barca next matchday
😐
Modric has agreed to a contract extension of 1 year until 2022
Well at the end Barca are beaten so no one cares
Anyways a loss against Barca hurts more than a loss against a mid table team
We always bottle the tactics in the derby which is infuriating
Btw, why does every God damn beat Cadiz EXCEPT Real and Barca
Yeah idk why
Maybe Zidane just knows how to counter it?
Cadiz is always more focused and hyped to play against bigger teams such as Barcelona, Real Madrid & Atlètico
We were able to counter Cadiz well
Yes because Atlètico is smart
Atlètico is better at defending than Real Madrid & Barcelona
Simeone's new 3-4-3 is working well against defensive teams
We reverted to the 4-4-2 in the derby and it was a mess
The early days of Simeone 2014-2016 we were very good in the derby and the tactics worked well
Yes that's true, the best game ever was Atlètico 4-0 Real Madrid at the old stadium Vicente Calderón
Real Madrid were still adapting to a new manager and the loss of Ronaldo
Yes
😐
^-^
you know a lot of lower teams love to play bus and rely on counter for the attack
since we are at the top dominating possession, our defense play high
thats why team like cadiz can beat madrid, barca
(🌕) Messi is OUT for the game against Eibar this Tuesday. @CatalunyaRadio #FCB 🇦🇷🛑🚨
216
Ter Stegen
Firpo
Lenglet
Araujo
Mingueza
Dest
De Jong
Pjanic
Pedri
Griezmann
Braithwaite
Would be solid
is it the same 3 CBs lineup?
i hope we use that more often
cuz it worked well last match
Only issue is, we don't want to become predictable again
Should be a comfortable win here
Bc in the post game interview vs Valladolid
Masip, who was giving the interview for Valladolid, said they didn't expect the 5-3-2
And they hadn't prepared for it
I like that Koeman shook it up completely

Just can't change it every matchday
Yeah ofc
It's dependant on the available players and the opponent
Which is why I think it'll be 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 vs Eibar
Bc Firpo isn't gonna be a very strong wingback
i dont rate firpo tbh 
MODRIC HAS SIGNED A NEW CONTRACT WITH REAL MADRID

Oh rip Messi can't play against his favourite team
He'll be free agent in 4 days and will return back around same time
Real Madrid fans always say eibarman to Messi
Yeah I mean I don't necessarily disagree
But it's a stupid award show
And idk how it's taken seriously whatsoever
My local post office could have the same award reputation if they tried
Todos los fans del Manchester United son unos arrogantes bastardos y no tienen ni idea de fútbol
Yeah lol
What is player career now
..
what is that
club of the century???
its the dubai d'or
wtf is that
we still won fifa club of the century
Santos fc is unnecessarily creating fuss
Oh okay
1k counting friendly matches goals i think
Messi🎙️
"When I was young, I always asked for something to do with football. A shirt, a football, some new boots... My parents did everything to make me happy."
"I remember getting a ball that was very expensive, the official ball of the Argentine league. My father and mother always did their best for me at Christmas."
"I'll be spending the holidays in Rosario with my family"
"I'm not normally someone who talks a lot to the media, I prefer to talk more with the people close to me."
"Playing the PlayStation.. I have actually stopped playing. It's more Thiago who plays it. Before, I played all day long. After his birth, I stopped everything but now I play with him from time to time."
"I admire many sporting athletes, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer in tennis and Cristiano in football for example. There are a lot of great athletes."
"Barcelona is my life."
"Barcelona, club and city, have given me everything. I've lived here longer than I have lived in Argentina."
"I learned everything in this place. It formed me. As a person, and as a player."
"Today I'm feeling okay here. It took me some time before I started to feel well again. I'm eager, and wanting to fight for all the titles that we can compete for."
"The club are in a really difficult situation. It's difficult for everyone. It's going to be very hard to get where we once were."
"I don't care to concern myself about what other people say, everyone has their own opinion about things."
"Have I cried lately?.. I didn't cry because of sports issues, but I did suffer a lot. I did cry because of other issues, but I prefer not to go into details."
"My arrival in Barcelona was a really difficult moment, because I was 13 years old and I was leaving everything behind me. Friends, family, my home... I was coming to a place where no one knew me."
"When I first came to Barcelona, I was already shy but I became even shyer. I became a shell. I focused on training, school and my games."
“A lot of people talk without knowing the facts. People believe them because they are the ones who bring the news on TV and the papers. RMC for example is a media-outlet who talked a lot of false stuff."
"Thiago, like I was, is shy, he doesn't like it that everyone is talking to him, but he's getting used to everything."
"Mateo? He manages all that much better. He loves all the attention."
😂
"I never called Bartomeu 'Nobito'.. but some teammates did!"
"My life is normal and.. well.. boring. I get up, have breakfast, take the kids to school, I train, I go back."
"I have lived here in Castelldefels for ten years. It's small and I know about it all."
"I like being with my kids. I like it when they ask me to play football or play something related to sports. I like it when they ask me to bathe them, or sleep with Antonella and I."
"My kids are addicted to watching YouTube, on the iPad and TV."
"Sometimes I would like to be anonymous... Especially when I'm with my children."
"But I will always be grateful, the love that everyone gives me is spectacular."
"But these days I don't see that love all too much. The feeling of playing in an empty stadium, well.. it's horrible. Everything makes it more equal, it is not the same to come to the Camp Nou. No one is there."
"It is a crazy calendar. Those with authority don't think about the athletes. It's seen more for the economic interest than for the sport or the game."
“I couldn’t believe it when Maradona died, I got the message from my father and turned on the TV. Nobody is able believe that Diego is dead and that he is no longer with us. It’s terrible, and it’s odd."
