@MagicalXavi Imagine if today had been Messi's last ever match for Argentina. We would've gone out despite being tournament favorites with a favorable path, all while forcing Martínez ahead of Álvarez. Enough. Stop this obsession and start the player who actually deserves it.
WAKE UP SCALONI
@alex_balde3 Still don’t understand how Zaha is available as a free agent while Olise ended up at Bayern.
If you’ve actually watched Crystal Palace live, you’ll get it. Otherwise, say whatever you think.
@AdiiiFCB The only interesting story that will go down in history:
Barcelona reportedly bid €100M for Richarlison in 2020, and Everton rejected it.
Fast forward a few years: Tottenham replaced him, and now he’s been sent to Turkey on loan. 😭
Football is shameless.
@cule_eeney@THINKSLATER 5. So yes, LaLiga's financial rules were the final obstacle. But pretending the entire Messi saga can be explained as “FFP made him leave” conveniently ignores the financial mismanagement, Laporta's promises, the negotiations, and the actual timeline.
@cule_eeney@THINKSLATER 3. Barça's wage bill was already around 110% of its income, meaning the club had virtually no salary margin under LaLiga's 4:1 rule.
4. Laporta himself admitted he initially believed LaLiga would accept the proposed structure. It didn't.
@cule_eeney@THINKSLATER 1. Laporta made keeping Messi a major election promise and, after winning, repeatedly projected confidence that Messi would stay.
2. Messi eventually agreed to a new deal with a 50% wage cut. This wasn't simply Barça refusing or being unable to pay his old salary.
@cule_eeney@THINKSLATER You joined X in 2022. Messi had already left Barça in 2021. Maybe learn the timeline before calling people clowns.
Yes, Barça had a LaLiga salary limit problem. But “we lost Messi because of FFP” is an incredibly lazy oversimplification.
@aanybeee Don't be stupid over LIARPORTA. He did dirty politics with Nico Williams before and now It's Julian Alvarez his next victim. You know how things work in corporate right?
Julian has showed his passion towards the club publicly please show some respect.
@FCB_Wyzz It’s always Barça against the rest.
1. Barça’s beautiful, flawless football humiliated Pérez more than you can imagine during the peak Messi Xavi Iniesta era. His highest paid Galácticos couldn’t even get the ball off us.
@FCB_Wyzz 4. And then came the years of questionable decisions in our Champions League knockouts: unnecessary red cards for our players, penalties awarded against us, obvious fouls near the opposition box ignored, and opponents escaping yellows time after time.
@FCB_Wyzz 3. Go watch Barça vs Atlético in the 2015-16 Champions League fixture. In the 90th minute, there was a clear handball on GABI inside the box, right in front of the referee, yet no penalty was given. Instead awarded a freekick at the edge of the box. We ended up empty handed.
@FCB_Wyzz 2. And it wasn’t just about Real Madrid getting favourable refereeing decisions in the Champions League. It always felt like Barça were being held back from building an even bigger European legacy.
@lareinador They outshone the Galácticos at the Bernabéu, knocked Madrid out, and then heartbreakingly lost to Tottenham in Semis A result that eventually led to Pochettino joining PSG which wasted Messi Mbappé Neymar era that could’ve been. 💔
This is the same guy who removed Xavi’s name from Barça Legends matches just because he rooted for Font. The same guy who trash-talked Argentina like an average Ronaldo stan before the final.
Never forget, this 70yo oldie is a top-tier clown @JoanLaportaFCB
@BigFrman 6. And do we realise it’s been ELEVEN years since Barça last reached a Champions League final?
You can appreciate what Flick restored without pretending he’s above criticism. Supporting the manager doesn’t mean switching your brain off. PEACE OUT.
@BigFrman I don't want Flick out but you also have to call it wrong when it goes wrong.
1. Barça have dominated the league under Pep, Luis Enrique, Valverde, Xavi & Flick.
2. The CL knockouts have been our real problem for years Atlético, Roma, Liverpool, Bayern, PSG, Inter. Same result.
@BigFrman 5. In a CL semi final, you have to stay switched on until the final whistle. We made the same mistakes again, and that cost us the tie when we were favourites to go through the FINAL.
