🚨🎙️| Unai Emery after losing 3-0 to Barcelona:
“Today was a good experience, but a bad result. We faced a team playing at a very high level, something we don’t see in the Premier League.”
Barcelona has to evolve. Times have changed and evolution is painful.
It hurts to see players like Gavi, Bernal and Balde gradually being pushed aside, but we have to move past this obsession with recreating the class of 2008. It will NEVER happen again. You have a better chance of seeing a unicorn than producing Messi, Iniesta, Busquets and Piqué in the same generation.
Barcelona has to embrace proper scouting and recruitment. This overreliance on La Masia kids has to stop. We are hurting these boys by constantly comparing them to a generation that was an anomaly in football history.
We want another Messi, another Iniesta, another Busquets. We expect Bernal to become Busquets, we want Yamal to be humble like Messi, we want Cubarsi to be Pique so bad. We place the weight of legends on the shoulders of teenagers, rush their development and when they inevitably struggle, we turn around and question their quality. We create the expectations that eventually become the weapons used against them.
I feel particularly sad for Gavi, but evolution is tough. Sentiment cannot be the basis of squad building. Playing for Barcelona at the highest level requires exceptional quality, and not every talented academy graduate will reach that standard. Let not even talk about the fact that we are the reason why these kids are struggling with injuries because we over play them. Gavi was fire before his ACL . Same with Bernal. Balde is a shadow of himself because of constant muscle injuries. Yamal is still nursing pulbagia.
La Masia should be a foundation for our success, not an excuse to abandon recruitment. We have to stop trying to recreate the past and start building for the future. We need to start signing prospects and stop relying on teenagers.
Barcelona siempre ❤️🔵🔴🥹❤️

Heated Argument Between Rufai Oseni and Felix Morka After Journalist Questions APC Spokesperson About Nigeria’s Economic Conditions
“All President Tinubu needed to do in Kaduna was show up and tell people to support me again,” APC National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka said.
Morka defended President Tinubu’s remarks at a campaign rally in Kaduna, insisting that it was not a policy summit or dialogue where he was expected to deliver a policy speech to appease what he described as “opposition tribesmen dressed as journalists.”
During the heated exchange, Rufai Oseni told Morka that he had yet to answer his question about the current state of Nigeria’s economy, adding that he should respond whenever he was ready to answer.
@HaakonHopland@Dkarsenal7@ballondor Whenever it’s a World Cup year, those 7 games played hold more water than the rest of that season, and if you win it? Makes your case even stronger
@south_southBoy@ballondor Tell me an award that is undeserved so far from a Spaniard? And I guarantee you the person you’d mention to win it is also gonna be a Spaniard! It’s their season, they earned it. Stop complaining
