@koenfrans Barça was barslecht en verdient 5-1 te verliezen, maar het is extreem frustrerend dat barça ook elke match tegen de scheidsrechter speelt? Blijkbaar moest penal opnieuw, fout op Kounde, imo penalty op Frenkie, meerdere duidelijke hoekschoppen niet gegeven, fouten niet gefloten...

@IkLeesMee @jphlaugs @thijszonneveld Ik ben geen topsporter of pro skiër, maar ski wel al heel mijn leven en ik vind dat je vanaf bocht 1 al ziet dat ze niet stabiel op die linker knie staat. Ze zakt te diep als ze er op steunt. Die onzekerheid kruipt ongetwijfeld in haar hoofd. Imo onverantwoord dat ze start.

@Blaugrana1301 @koenfrans Het verlies van Iñigo Martínez mag niet onderschat worden! Was echt de leider van de verdediging en tilde Cubarsi naar een hoger niveau. Cubarsi is geweldig maar heeft nog een mentor naast hem nodig. Logisch voor zijn leeftijd.

@ImarVanden @JensVDVoorden @hlnsport Ambrose is wel een gigantische meerwaarde in de ploeg! Kan topschutter worden van de ploeg.

@NOTMEHERE_98 @barcacentre @FCBarcelona But why Peña?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@AVossaert @kvkofficieel @cercleofficial Zou jij blijven? In een club zonder visie? Zonder toekomstplan? Ben al bang naar de volgende trainer. Moet direct aan Custovic, De Boeck of Belhocine denken. Lang geleden dat die de revue gepasseerd zijn.

@thxmxsd @koenfrans De ploeg kan dit zelf doen ook hé. Ze wouden nog voetballen. Speel 5 minuten vuil en sleep de buit binnen...

@Blaugranagram With what money?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@SuperNes64PR @Blaugranagram But doomed us as well...

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@koenfrans Maar die verdediging.😱🙈

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@koenfrans Hoop alleen dat hij bescheiden zal blijven. Show mag hij verkopen, hij kan het. Maar hopelijk wordt het geen ettertje.
Je merkt ook wel dat Barça deze zomer zal moeten kopen. Backup voor balde, backup voor kounde. Maar zullen ze kunnen/mogen met ffp?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@Blaugranagram Why do they call him "Tek"?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@Blaugranagram Why Tek?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@ImarVanden Bedankt!

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@ImarVanden Waarom dan niet gewoon Tom?

Vamos, @RafaelNadal!

As you get ready to graduate from tennis, I’ve got a few things to share before I maybe get emotional.

Let’s start with the obvious: you beat me—a lot. More than I managed to beat you. You challenged me in ways no one else could. On clay, it felt like I was stepping into your backyard, and you made me work harder than I ever thought I could just to hold my ground. You made me reimagine my game—even going so far as to change the size of my racquet head, hoping for any edge.

I’m not a very superstitious person, but you took it to the next level. Your whole process. All those rituals. Assembling your water bottles like toy soldiers in formation, fixing your hair, adjusting your underwear... All of it with the highest intensity. Secretly, I kind of loved the whole thing. Because it was so unique—it was so you.

And you know what, Rafa, you made me enjoy the game even more. 

OK, maybe not at first. After the 2004 Australian Open, I achieved the #1 ranking for the first time. I thought I was on top of the world. And I was—until two months later, when you walked on the court in Miami in your red sleeveless shirt, showing off those biceps, and you beat me convincingly. All that buzz I’d been hearing about you—about this amazing young player from Mallorca, a generational talent, probably going to win a major someday—it wasn’t just hype.

We were both at the start of our journey and it’s one we ended up taking together. Twenty years later, Rafa, I have to say: What an incredible run you’ve had. Including 14 French Opens—historic! You made Spain proud... you made the whole tennis world proud.

I keep thinking about the memories we’ve shared. Promoting the sport together. Playing that match on half-grass, half-clay. Breaking the all-time attendance record by playing in front of more than 50,000 fans in Cape Town, South Africa. Always cracking each other up. Wearing each other out on the court and then, sometimes, almost literally having to hold each other up during trophy ceremonies.

I’m still grateful you invited me to Mallorca to help launch the Rafa Nadal Academy in 2016. Actually, I kind of invited myself. I knew you were too polite to insist on me being there, but I didn’t want to miss it. You have always been a role model for kids around the world, and Mirka and I are so glad that our children have all trained at your academies. They had a blast and learned so much—like thousands of other young players. Although I always worried my kids would come home playing tennis as lefties.

And then there was London—the Laver Cup in 2022. My final match. It meant everything to me that you were there by my side—not as my rival but as my doubles partner. Sharing the court with you that night, and sharing those tears, will forever be one of the most special moments of my career.

Rafa, I know you’re focused on the last stretch of your epic career. We will talk when it’s done. For now, I just want to congratulate your family and team, who all played a massive role in your success. And I want you to know that your old friend is always cheering for you, and will be cheering just as loud for everything you do next.

Rafa that!

Best always, your fan, 

Roger

@NealGardner_ One thing that concerns me is the dribbling capacity of Olmo. His passing is superb, but he seems so clumsy while he has to dribble? Or was he just unlucky in some of his ball touches?

[Ingmar De Clerck @Ingmardc]

@Bhess @The_PunKing @shitpost_2077 I only use it when I have to prepare food for a lot of people. Like a bbq for the whole family or something. It is a lot quicker.

@Iden98 @barcacentre Would actually be the perfect subtitution at half time. Rest Lamine and give ansu time. Raphinha to the right and Ansu at left
