• Champions League: Earned the highest overall rating in the entire tournament with an 8.08 Sofascore rating, beating out Kylian Mbappé (8.05) and Harry Kane (7.94). Only 2nd on Fotmob tho behind Mbappe.

Historical Milestones made this season by Yamal (These don't count towards the Balon d'Or but I put it anyway. Ik how people feel about bringing up Yamal's age).

• Became the first teenager in football history to win both the EURO and the World Cup before turning 20 years old.
• Officially became the youngest European player in football history to win a World Cup at 19 years and 6 days old.
• Became the youngest player in the 21st century to score a LaLiga hat-trick (vs. Villarreal) and start a FIFA World Cup Final.

He's the only World Cup Winner to have such a cabinet this season. The Balon d'Or must go to a World Cup winner.

• Rodri has a strong case but his club campaign wasn't the best. Lacking statistically and missed out on the Prem which is more important than the FA Cup and the other one City won.
• Kane has a strong case because he broke Ronaldo's highest scoring season. But didn't make it to the WC Final and he ghosted in half of his World Cup games.
• Olise has a strong case because he broke Messi and Pele's assist record but Yamal still created way more chances and big chances for his teamamtes. It's easier when you play with Mbappe, Kane and Diaz.
• Mbappe has a strong case because he's the first to win 3 golden boots this season (La Liga, UCL and World Cup). But it's his second trophyless season so yeah... If it was about stats we know who should've won last year, but it's about trophies.
• Watch Fabian Ruiz finish 3rd because he won the UCL and World Cup.

I’m seeing several posts now suddenly overhyping Ferrandue to one good moment... For years, most people actually watching Barca were asking whether we could move him on for a decent fee. Now that there’s finally an opportunity, people want to keep him or would be sad of losing him?

He just scored a winning goal at the WC, PSG are interested, and he’s open to leaving with 1 year left on his contract, you dont get a better "sell high" scenario.... This might be the last chance we have to get good money for him.

Yes, he’s shown flashes of quality, but his finishing has been inconsistent at best. It’s been years now—it's not going to change. Last season he played like 2/3 of games, missed a ton of clear chances, and now he’s complaining about lack of opportunities? He is just not fit to be a starter at Barca and won't be missed.

We would be losing our only 2 true 9s in this windows which is unfortunate but I believe we can get more than adequate replacements.

imo, griezmann's time at barcelona is one of the clearest examples of a world class player being signed without a clear tactical plan. the problem was never his quality. it was the inability of the coaches to build a role that maximized his strengths.

griezmann had spent years at atlético madrid thriving as a second striker, false 9, or free attacking playmaker. his game was built around dropping between the lines, linking midfield and attack, making intelligent off the ball runs, pressing relentlessly, and arriving late into the box. he was never a touchline winger whose game depended on constant dribbling or isolating fullbacks.

instead of creating a role around those qualities, barcelona's coaches repeatedly used him as a left winger simply because messi occupied the right and suárez remained the central striker. in doing so, they tried to make him fill the tactical void left by neymar rather than letting him create his own identity in the team. playing so wide isolated him from the areas where he influenced games the most and drastically reduced his involvement in possession.

griezmann's football iq would have made him an ideal partner for players like pedri. both thrive on quick combinations, positional rotations and intelligent movement. griezmann could have operated beside an advanced midfielder, underneath the striker, or even as a false 9 dropping deep to connect play while allowing runners to attack the space ahead of him. his movement would also have complemented messi by creating passing lanes, occupying defenders and covering for messi defensively whenever possession was lost.

his work rate was another massively underused weapon. griezmann remained one of the hardest working forwards in europe, constantly pressing, tracking back and sacrificing himself for the team even when deployed out of position. those qualities were valuable for balancing a side built around messi's creative freedom, yet they were often treated as secondary instead of becoming part of the team's tactical identity.

the biggest failure was not griezmann's performances but the lack of tactical imagination. barcelona signed one of the world's best roaming forwards and then asked him to imitate a natural left winger. rather than adapting the system to suit an elite footballer, they forced the footballer to fit a system that never suited him. that was a coaching failure far more than a player failure.

Hi,

At the end of august me and my friends will be in Barcelona for a wedding and we would also like to visit the game against Rayo Vallecano on august 31st.

I want to buy 4 tickets but I need a membership which costs 113,- only to see if there are still tickets available...

Can anyone tell me if there are still tickets available and what it costs before I just throw away 113,- feels kinda like a gamble😂

So 4 tickets, next to each other but 2-2 is also an option:)

Hi guys, I really need your help. I want to come to Spain to Barcelona and watch the el classico with my father around October. The only problem are the tickets. My father says we won't go unless the tickets are under 300 euros. Now I've been looking and presale prices are 700+ euros as much as I've seen. And when I look on the offical barca site it says i cant just buy the regular tickets because I'm not a member but the ticket is more expenicve but it includes tickets to the museum, some subscriptions... Now to be honest, I don't really care where I sit, as long as I can see the players and the tickets are as I said under 300 euros. I'm also afraid that once the tickets are out that they are going to be sold out in a flash, because I mean, it's an el classico. So can someone please help me, tell me how when and where to buy the tickets, and when thease tickets are even going to be published because if I get the tickets I also have to buy a flight and those aren't cheap either. So please Culers, help!!!!!
