🚨💣 Jamie Carragher blasts Real Madrid's "Barcelona obsession" after Bernardo Silva and Cucurella signings
🗣️: "At some point, people have to stop pretending this is a coincidence. Every time Barcelona identify a player, Real Madrid suddenly become interested too.
Barcelona wanted Bernardo Silva, and now Real Madrid have signed Bernardo Silva. Barcelona looked at Dumfries, and Madrid rushed to give a 30-year-old a long-term contract. Hansi Flick reportedly prefers Gvardiol, and suddenly Madrid are pushing for Gvardiol. Barcelona worked on Julian Alvarez, and Madrid responded with a ridiculous €150 million bid that they made sure the whole world knew about. Now Marc Cucurella has become another target the moment Barcelona showed interest.
This is not strategy; this is obsession.
The biggest clubs create their own path. They don't spend every summer looking over their shoulder to see what their rivals are doing. If your transfer policy is 'Whatever Barcelona want, we want too,' then maybe you don't have a real project at all.
I have seen rivalries all my life, but this goes beyond rivalry. It feels like some people in Madrid are more concerned about blocking Barcelona than building Real Madrid.
When a club starts defining itself through its rival, it has already forgotten what made it great in the first place."
Por este medio exigo que la directiva de @AlianzaFC_sv fiche jugadores de calidad de cara a la próxima temporada que se nos avecina en la cual estaremos participando en 3 competiciones importantes. De antemano gracias

Pep was late coming out to the pitch ended up jogging on. The reception for his last game, man. The noise. The gift from Unai Emery and @AVFCOfficial . Wow. Just legendary.
