Review
Expectations weren't high among Barca fans for the Rayo fixture, given Xavi has never really beaten them in his coaching tenure. But, for most parts of this game, Barca seemed a bit more fluid and reactive
Review
Match review of Barcelona's loss to Real Madrid despite a dominant Clasico performance.
Tactics
Preseason can be a cruel mistress. It seemingly gives you so much but in reality, it’s mostly just an illusion; a mirage of what you want to be true rather than what is true.
Opinion
Barcelona's system cannot enhance the individuals. Iit can’t make them become more than they are on their own.
Opinion
I wouldn’t be too far off by saying football would be robbed of a generational talent if Ansu were to fail. Not to mention Barcelona would lose a hero to carry the torch into the future
Review
Dominant result, (not so) dominant display: Barça score 4 but still underperform?
Opinion
Crippled with debt, Barca's squad is suboptimal and they will face face far more obstacles in the near future.
Opinion
Barca are still in the red. But they sold some future assets to give the squad a decent facelift which papers over the cracks for now. This is by no means an escape.
Review
Xavi still needs time to finesse his style, but this was a good example of his adjusting tactically as the game grew
Review
Fortunately, just as Johan Cruyff did more than 30 years ago, Xavi starts off his coaching journey at the Camp Nou with a victory over their bitter city rivals.
Review
Barcelona lack difference-makers. Vinícius on his own made more dribbles than all of the Catalans’ forwards combined.
Review
Perhaps it was poetic justice or just a part of a very carefully written script but the clash between Barcelona and Valencia at the Camp Nou was more than just a fixture to decide who gets the three points
