We at Madrid know what we are getting and improved. Barca…
Luis Garcia… ?
we are kings of europe pls dont compare us to europa league team pls, like their is levels to this
Raphinna will be a big player and a different maker, mark my words. A star ⭐️ that deserves number 10.
Real madrid won la liga losing only 4 games 1 of them was after they won already la liga and were resting players for the champions league. Can Barca end the season by not losing many games? That is the question. They have insanely good front line, but their back line although reinforced, is still untested really. Even the players they bought from Sevilla and Chesley in the back aren't really flawless and have been making a lot of mistakes on their previous teams. Lets see how it goes.
Don't Barcelona still have to register most of the new "signings"? Just asking.
Benzama 5 Cl vs Parca history 5 cl ?
Barcelona has played 3 games this year all friendly and this cockroaches already saying barce is better than papa madrid ?????
Waiting for La Liga to allow Barcelona to play with 12 men and ESPN to praise the decision
I'm impressed with the way barcelona look no doubt. I don't see raphina, dembele and ferran torres assisting lewandowski enough to overall contribute to barcelona winning la liga again. I see them doing well in CDR, champions league and their league:
Man it s like u see the poor family in the neighborhood finally doing better . I just look down on them and be happy for them but please you don't need to mention the richest family .it s like it s cute ur doing ok ??? but we re still decades a part .
Mark my word
Barca will be La Liga champions this time….
Barca fans drinking the cool-aid again. Nothing will happen out of this. Because
1. We`ve seen this before. Barca have spent 150-200 mill every summer and sometimes the winters to bring big names like Dembele, Gruizmann, Coutinho, De Jong etc and we`ve heard this story many times only to see things fail.
2. Xavi is not Zidane or Pep. Pep was in charge of the youth team. Zidane was a director, assistant coach to Ancelotti and coach of Castilla before he became manager. He was groomed for the job. Same with Pep to a degree. Xavi on the other hand was just picked up from Qatar and lacks the experience and knowledge.
3. Unlike Barca their rivals in Madrid actually have a plan and have been building a stable team with youngsters who were scouted and developed over 3-4 years now as well as some good top players like Rudiger and Alaba coming on a free. Barca meanwhile get Depay and Aguero one year then replace them with Pedri and Auba 6 months later then replace them again with Lewa and Raphinha and no offence but I could do their scouting. They just buy famous names.
RM dont fear barca over exciting/hype signings??
wow.. @espn still lining up with pique.. alba and busquests these guys lost some credibility with that
Barca will win LaLiga comfortably. With at least 10 Points clear. Barca will also dominate both clacicos. I put my bet already.
I don’t think they’re gonna completely dominate every opponent again. But I do believe they will win La liga again or maybe even the domestic double. In the Champions league I believe they will get further than last year but depending on which opponents they’ll have to face they probably won’t make it past the quarterfinal or semi final.
If Barca have no succes within 2 years… its game over. Sold their souls…
I hope Barca can compete, cuz rivals make u stronger and better in competition.
As long as they win the 4-0 against Real Madrid trophy!
?????????????
How do we know when this BARCA team hasnt kicked a competitive ball yet???????????? ?…..I THINK THEY HAVE A CHANCE IN THE MESSI ERA PLAYERS LEFT THERE LIKE BUSQUEST AND ALBA PIQUE DONT PLAY COS FOR THEM BARCA IS MESSI AND IN AINT FUN WITHOUT HIM ?
People forget that this year will be way different cause of the world cup. Teams will gonna need squad depth and that is what Xavi is doing. Madrid can never be underestimated but we all have seen that if Benzema is missing Real doesn't click in the final third. It will heavily come in which team can be healthier and more consistent through the entire season.
No one talks about that Barca actually came in second after a disaster in the first part of the season. And no one talking about how scary Barcelona is this season? And I don't believe Pique will start too often
No stop it, Barcelona is nowhere near Madrid. Both in La Liga and UCL
Let's be honest when ever Barca has been at their best they always dominate every team in Europe . And kind of like what city is doing in PL which is absolute domination of the league, that's why we won 7 leagues in 11 years even Madird when they where winning 3 CLs in a row they found it difficult to catch Barca in the league. If barca start playing their way and now they have more than enough quality on the field as well, then it's gonna be really hard for real Madrid this season to retain the league.
"Lets just assume they somehow manage to (register) them" Assume somehow manage to? the club signed them after ensuring they will be able to register not for them to come here and create albums for Spotify. Heck even Real Madrid has not registered Rudiger and Tchuemeni yet because its still July. This ESPN pundits really hate Barca with a passion
Madrid has momentum and team spirit… but should benzema injures… Madrid will slow down…
On paper Barcelona looks like a monster but let’s see!
They should win Champions league on paper.But time will tell whether Xavi can win even la liga or will he be gone by next year.But way they are conducting transfer buisness is very murky and non honrable.They are basically forcing teams to sale players.
Yea Barcelona have a shot at Laliga unlike the previous two seasons but Real Madrid is still a good team….. gonna be an interesting szn?
This season is going to be awesome….. like Xavi said their is no gaurantee of playing 11 players … you have to show the coach that you deserve to play in playing 11 ….
Competition for forward : ?
Competition for midfielder : ?
Competition for defender : ?
Competition for goalkeeper: no competition
Real madrid fc win the La liga
Real Madrid are still miles ahead better dhan Barcelona.
Carlo Ancelotti is 100x better dhan Xavi as a manager. What has Xavi won.
Barcelona haven't registered Lewandowski,Raphinha,Kessie & Kounde in La Liga.
So just relax .
Imagine if De Jong doesn't leave or doesn't take a pay cut.
The biggest club ?laliga & uefa loading
Let's not act like real is so much better they lost against barca 4-0 en they had a lot of luck in al the games in champions leuague I mean come on al the teams they played where better but so much luck en they win
Wrong question , it's must reverse otherwise it's a joke when it reads
THE ONLY WAY MADRID ARE GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THIS BARCA TEAM IS IF THEY SIGN PRIME MESSI, why would any team worry about this barca they have poor defense,average midfield and an ok and yet to observe striking force they are not winning any major trophy this season stop overhyping them Xavi has not won anything yet.
Raphinha overrated
Kounde bit overrated
Lewandowski is a legend of the sport
Madrid is still the better and most balanced squad.
Definitely yes
Barca will win laliga..real madrid won without any competition last year
Just win the UCL thats it??
Of course they had to mention registrations and all the other unnecessary nonsense, why would Laporta sign 10 players without a Plan A, B and C to register them.
Honestly Winning La Liga should be our priority, we need that title and also the Champions league we have to go for it as well. But La Liga should be our priority
If Dest continues to defend poorly, then by all means play Araujo or Kounde in that position.
I think Barca are closer to bankruptcy than trophies this season!
I highly doubt it. Many of their player will be injured due to they have to close the gym 24 hours per day to avoid high electricity bills
