Yeah… Victor Munoz has caught life in the Premiere League.
He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the acres of space available for him to operate against physically limited fullbacks.
This is the same guy who struggled to consistently beat his man in the La Liga.
Atletico selling Julian Alvarez to Barcelona is entirely their choice.
Sell him. Don't sell him. Ask for €200m if you want. He's your player and you're perfectly entitled to do what you think is best for your club.
But please, spare me the holier-than-thou act about "ethics", "professionalism" and Barcelona negotiating in bad faith.
Where was all this concern for good faith when Atletico had an agreement with Barca that would require them to pay €40m for Griezmann if he played 45+ minutes in 50% of the games he was available for?
Their solution?
Keep one of their best players on the bench and repeatedly bring him on around the 60th minute so those games wouldn't count towards the clause.
Everyone knew what was happening. Griezmann knew. Simeone knew. Barca knew. The entire football world knew.
And eventually Barca, who desperately needed the money at the time, settled for roughly half the original €40m fee.
Was it within Atletico's contractual rights? Sure.
Was it this wonderful display of "good faith" and sporting ethics that they suddenly seem so passionate about in 2026?
Come on.
Football clubs look after their own interests. Atletico did it then. Barcelona are doing it now. That's the game.
So keep Julian. Sell Julian. Send him to Arsenal. Do whatever you want.
Just drop the saint act while doing it.
You cannot spend years playing the transfer market with every trick available to you and then suddenly discover the moral high ground when the sword falls on the other foot.

I swear I can't understand why every time Barca tries to sign a player from another La Liga club they act as if it's a personal offense and all the Spanish press makes them out to be like the bad guys. Every fucking summer the same story, just a different club acting insane.
आज साहिल लोचब के साथ, उनके साथ हुई पुलिस बर्बरता के खिलाफ FIR दर्ज कराने संसद मार्ग के DCP कार्यालय पहुँचा।
20 जुलाई को जंतर-मंतर पर शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन कर रहे साहिल पर पुलिस ने पैलेट गन से हमला किया। छर्रों से बुरी तरह घायल साहिल की एक आँख की रौशनी खतरे में है।
शांतिपूर्ण प्रदर्शन के खिलाफ ऐसी बर्बरता कोई कानूनी कार्रवाई नहीं, एक गंभीर अपराध है। इस क्रूरता के लिए न गृह मंत्री अमित शाह ने छात्रों को कोई सफाई दी, न प्रधानमंत्री ने उनसे माफ़ी मांगी।
अब जब साहिल न्याय के लिए FIR दर्ज कराना चाहता है तो वो भी नहीं करने दिया जा रहा। इस तरह संविधान और संवैधानिक अधिकारों को कुचला जा रहा है।
@AmitShah जी, न्याय से इतना क्यों घबरा रहे हैं? ये डर दिखा रहा है कि आप अपना अपराध कबूल कर रहे हैं।
FIR होगी। न्यायिक जाँच होगी। और ऊपर से नीचे तक जो भी इस बर्बरता के दोषी हैं, उन सभी पर कार्रवाई होगी।
साहिल और उसके जैसे पीड़ित हर छात्र को न्याय दिलाकर रहेंगे।

Toni Fernandez reminds me so strongly of Griezmann in certain instances.
Such a joy to watch, we HAVE to find a way to develop him as best we can. Something I don’t think we’ve done well enough over the last two seasons.

Ett stort problem med Uefas kritik är att de och deras medlemsförbund låtit många av Europas största, historiskt, kulturellt och socialt viktigaste klubbar säljas till precis vem som helst i 25 år. Bedragare, diktaturer, oligarker, rappare från Colombia. Spelar ingen roll.
