Atlético refused to negotiate over Julián Álvarez.
Athletic Club refused to negotiate over Nico Williams, and later over Aymeric Laporte.
I have no problem with what these Spanish clubs are doing or with their decision to refuse negotiations over any deal involving Barcelona.
All I ask is that Barcelona stop doing them favors in return. The club shouldn’t make it easier for any of its players to join those teams because they don’t deserve that kind of goodwill.
What’s even more ironic is that almost every Spanish club has players who came through La Masia, yet they show no gratitude toward Barcelona. Small-minded clubs with a small-club mentality.
Well, your forebears should have thought of that before they went around the world colonizing the lands of Mohammeds, Khans, and Patels.
Enjoy your racism!
Is Joining Barcelona the best decision of your career ?
🚨🎙️| Joan: “OBVIOUSLY, I left Espanyol for Barcelona. One decision turned me into a World Champion,La Liga winner, and Zamora Trophy winner.
At Espanyol, the biggest celebration is finishing above 18th. I’d still be fighting relegation if I stayed there.
Leo Messi sat in front of 20,000 people at the American business forum as they replayed the three international finals he lost with Argentina and show when he won the World Cup . Then the entire arena rose to its feet and chanted: “MESSI! MESSI! MESSI!” 🥹🇦🇷🏆
Messi scored the exact same 253 goals between 2011-2014 while playing significantly deeper, creating way more chances, completing way more dribbles, and providing way more assists 🤯.
I have a delusionally strong belief that even with all my problems, if you gave me a kid right this second and forced me to raise it I would immediately lock in beyond comprehension and get every aspect of my life together to become the most excellent father possible.
