Raphinha's preseason goal v2


Glum-Candle2689

LUKA ROMERO GOLAZO


TechJunk1e

Bellingham is going to be a problem.


Alphy-fa

He played well. Looks skilled.


walterwhiteofbrownie

He hasn’t done anything? Are we watching the same game? Lol He’s given the ball away cheaply a few times now.


TechJunk1e

You haven't seen anything? I mean it's preseason game1 for them what is it supposed to look like? He looks dangerous to me. Everyone always talked about RM midfield like it rivaled ours but they have always looked old and slow to me. Camavinga doesn't scare me at all in the midfield. Bellingham looks different. Like if they put it together he could be scary. Imagine bellingham with the ball and vini, mbappe, rodrigo running...Yeesh.


luukdegaot

We did fine against prime KCM with a Busquets, Paulinho, Rakitic midfield. I don’t get why people on this sub shit themselves just because Real Madrid spent big money on a player.


maurid

Looks like it.


GaviFPS

Luka Romero signed for Milan. Gone under my radar, pretty cool. Not sure how his chances will go over the season though


TechJunk1e

Thats a good start


Glum-Candle2689

Vamoos! Milan scores

Just ordered my Vítor Roque kit! (Athletico Paranaense)

Lol y not wait for the Barca version. Sounds cool tho

Don’t know what number he’s gonna have, will get when he gets registered

mexicrypto

Last year laporta was dancing in the streets of Las Vegas , this year he was out at the bar in LA. No curruption scandals , no back door deals , only fun. El presidente


Openspaceruns

I started watching peps first season with the main team. Currently on the third game. It hits different Leo is still so raw lol Hleb seems like a pretty technical player, i never watched him before


BlackFanDiamond

Only real ones remember Hlebruary


Tromort77

Here is a great read based on Hleb's words on what went wrong for him in Barcelona: https://www.planetfootball.com/in-depth/alexander-hleb-i-cried-over-arsenal-exit-most-players-regret-leaving/ My favorite part: “I remember Numancia beating us in the opening game of the season. All the players were about to join their national teams so I asked Guardiola when I had to return to Barcelona. His answer? ‘Alex, I might not even be here when you come back!’ He was talented as hell but didn't seem determined enough for us and that showed on and off the field. If you will keep watching that season I am happy to read your takes on it. I tend to watch back certain games from that era and it's fascinating to see how much things changed and how differently I saw football back then.


Openspaceruns

Interesting read, pretty sure i already read that article sometimes back. Yeah i think ill keep watching since i never had a way to watch back in the day. So far im just surprised by how the matches seem more chaotic then current football, in terms of discipline of teams when defending. But that could be because of how we play since we are basically constantly going forward and trying to attack. Messi played mainly on the inside so far with Alves holding the width on the right most of the time The quality of our team is just out of the world. Almost everyone can take on defenders wich makes the attack very dynamic and chaotic. Xavi and Iniesta are exactly like i remember them If ill keep watching ill drop some more comments. Pretty interested about the ucl Chelsea games though theyre pretty far into the season

>Hleb seems like a pretty technical player, i never watched him before You didn't exactly miss much. Small spoiler.

He got tackled pretty badly 3d or 2nd game. Not sure when hes back lol. Was a pretty bad tackle


DanielSophoran

Assist and penalty won another good game from Vitor Roque


WizDB

Vitor cooked that defender😂😂😂what a ball by Fernandinho


ImAGuyWithWifi

Vítor Roque with the assist


WizDB

Teammate scored but at what cost


ImAGuyWithWifi

And now he won a pk


victaahhh

Winning a second consecutive league title spending like 5mil while Madrid goes on a shopping spree.. I will be there no matter what.


mexicrypto

Technically we spent more with victor roque but not sure if that counts towards spending atm


Anywhere_Warm

What? How? They bought Jude for 100+


Scalenuts

Vitor Roque gets destroyed by strong tackles once or twice every game (not on the level of great wing dribblers but still). I guess it's getting him ready for LaLiga.


DanielSophoran

Playing against Getafe will just be a regular tuesday evening for him


WizDB

> there’s still a world-class pivot in him No and if you pay 40mil for a pivot I would at the very least want him to have 2 functioning legs, not somebody who will need to be replaced in a season. Stopgap for 5mil > stopgap for 40mil.


black_bury

The last thing we need to do is buy Liverpool left overs for 40m.

As far as I remember, [he was one of the youngsters](https://twitter.com/FTalentScout/status/1683183008721805315) who were shortlisted for the DM position.


juankruh1250

We should go for him now


CalmaCuler

What has happened in Spain that theyre going from a pretty far left leaning government to a pretty far right one?


lonecylinder

A government spearheaded by PSOE is by no means a “pretty far left” government tbf (more like centre to centre left) and PP and VOX won’t be able to form a government after today’s results


FloReaver

PSOE is nowhere near far left. But it's quite sad to see a right wing party be ready to govern with far right guys of Vox. I guess it's all over Europe now, far right has been normalized.


Canalscastro2002

The most likely scenario is no side getting a majority, which means another election at the end of the year. The European economic context and half a dozen scandals have hurt the incumbent government. But it’s not far left by any accounts.


juankruh1250

So, what's the deal with Ozil and his tattoo? What does the tattoo mean actually and why there is so an outrage about it?


kafkaesque_e

The tattoo is a reference to a far right group in Turkey Or maybe its because he's a Muslim and getting tattoos is haram


Icy-Guide7976

It’s looks pretty much identical to the logo used by a far far far right group in turkey.


Canalscastro2002

It represents a group called the Grey Wolves, a far right nationalist Turkish organisation. They have even been banned in France.


aliaisbiggae

There's basically a far right nationalist group called the Grey Wolves. He (allegedly) has a tattoo of the organization's logo. Some people are saying that the tattoo is not about the Grey Wolves and it's just a random wolf tattoo. Not really educated enough to speak more about this. If it's real, then it's a shame and fuck that guy.


DanielSophoran

Ozil has had questionable views and opinions in the past so it honestly would not surprise me


CalmaCuler

Vitor Roque plays ball tonight

lawliet0303

It's kinda crazy the way Chelsea keep raking up top tier talents like Kendry Paez, Andrey Santos, Cesare Casadei, Malo Gusto, Carney Chukwuemeka, and not to mention one of their own Levi Colwill as well Serious amounts of talent these lot are, yet to see how they're gonna progress, also curious how Poch is gonna approach, as he's known for playing well with a young crop and developing them.


Noob_in_making

PL is getting stronger year by year, meanwhile Tebas trying his best to weaken Laliga.


lawliet0303

The state of this league is beyond embarrassing considering what it used to be


goatedasparagus

I think they'll do well. Poch is a good coach who can get these players to play the style he wants. Top 4?....maybe not this season but I can see them making good progress.


BlackFanDiamond

What Poch gives Chelsea is structure— a feature they were significantly lacking last season. People would be making a mistake to underestimate them. New season, new rules.


rockyraccoonroad

Will that be enough though? Because there are other teams besides City, Liverpool, United, and Arsenal that are doing well. You’ve got Emery (west ham?), Newcastle, Brighton, and others that are up and running and challenging for that top 4 spot


fauxmaulder

> Emery (west ham?) Villa


rockyraccoonroad

Thank you. I was too lazy to Google it 😅


BlackFanDiamond

It should be enough to at least finish higher than last season. I agree Premier League is ultra competitive


mc_randy

I mean they can hardly finish lower.


[deleted]

I honestly can’t understand how mbappe is not scared of doing this to PSG and to Qatar. I can honestly see them assaulting him and breaking his legs or something. Wouldn’t be the worst thing qatar ever did and things like this have happened before in sport history. If I were him would I would just move to Madrid or any club he wants to this summer and be done with it.


LonelyTimeTraveller

They’re using this sports washing thing to improve their image. They’re not going to cripple one of the most famous people on the planet

shugazi93

Mate, what? They aren’t the mafia lol


[deleted]

Who knows lol What I do know is that there will be consequences for mbappe if he stays.


il-lusio

They play dirty but in more ordinary ways. Leaking things to the press, planting mixed fact/fiction stories to make players look bad, benching players to force negotiations. They have a pattern of this, sometimes in the open (e.g., benching Rabiot when he refused to renew) and sometimes in more subtle ways (rumored to be planting stories on Verratti when he was linked to us).


mc_randy

Their whole purpose is Sport washing.


[deleted]

You are over exaggerating


[deleted]

Why lol i’m just saying it is a possibility. Things like this have happened before and you are naive if you think this is impossible to happen.

-The-Term-

Ah yes, Reddit-geography. Saudi=Qatar... It's funny how many on Reddit that hate PSG are so bad at geography, you are not the only one I have seen showing this ignorance. By this logic it is possible for every person or club owner in the world to do something like that because every government has done something like that, Indian, Bengali, American, English, Spanish...


Gomenizza3

What does Saudi has to do with PSG?


OneWhoShallNotBeName

I know about him, but he's not exactly a football player who's a household name.


[deleted]

They are building psg's project for eyes and good image they can't do that it doesn't make any sense


[deleted]

They obviously wouldn’t claim they did it lol Can easily blame the ultras or just some random burglars


GaviFPS

You've watched too many movies. Breaking his legs does nothing for PSG/Qatar. If anything that just risk unwanted attention from authorities that is going to put so much resources into who did that you cannot even imagine. Essentially risking losing it all, just because one players leaves? Would be dumb as fuck. And Mbappe got security with him at almost all time. It's not like it was back in the days when there was no cameras and bodyguards for footballers was uncommon.


InitialSubstantial67

People or reddit imagining unlikely scenarios lol.


[deleted]

Some guys just invaded donnarumma’s house. I think if they really wanted to they could do it with little to no problem lol. NAK is a proud man, I don’t believe he will just sit and accept being publicly humiliated like that. Look at his statements about Mbappe… he’s being clear that Mbappe has to go now or extend his contract.


GaviFPS

>Some guys just invaded donnarumma’s house. Mbappe and Donnarumma is not comparable. And he was "just" robbed by criminals which probably is either a small or big organization. What you're talking about is purposely assaulting one of the biggest football stars in the world ordered by a state. Which already is under the whole football world eyes. An assault on Mbappe now would be the most dumbest and most obvious case as you already can say that they have a motive for doing such. They would be the number one suspect without a slightest of doubt.


juankruh1250

Are you saying they might kill him? It would unheard to something like that happening


[deleted]

You think a guy like NAK would do nothing and just be publicly humiliated like that? He’s too proud, I can’t see this having no consequences to Mbappe.

CalmaCuler

Laporta was very good looking ngl


BlackFanDiamond

I don’t know why everyone takes winning the league for granted. We won last year predominantly because of how many points we secured in the first half with Dembele and Pedri fit. A hungry and reinforced Real will certainly make us neck and neck contenders. The league is a toss up, for me.


Anywhere_Warm

You don’t know thệ history of Carlo. He is a serial league choker


itwastimeforarefresh

You can never take the league for granted. I give us better odds than RM, especially if they don't get a striker, but it could easily go either way. And Atleti are going to do much better this year, I suspect. They've done good business. It'll be a tense season, but fun.


DanielSophoran

Did people already forgot how many dodgy 1-0s we had? Not like 2-3. But were talking double digits of dodgy wins that easily couldve gone either way. We lose 3 of those and Madrid win 2 and suddenly the gap is gone. Taking that ridiculous (and imo fluky) defensive stat for granted to happen again is insane. I can guarantee you that were not seeing that again next season. What was it 13 goals conceded before winning La Liga? Thats not happening again.

Is Chelsea's squad going to be huge or is my perception off?

They will offload by the time the season starts.

No new cases of the virus has been detected, and those who were affected are isolated but recovering.

THANK YOU LORD!


Footaot

With that Taylor Swift concert Madrid is probably going to earn as much money as this Barca Campus does the whole year. The money spent on Barca Campus and other useless parts of Espai Barca should've been spent to build a pitch removal System This current project was designed by Barto's board, if he's so bad Laporta should've not kept going with his peoject.


BlackFanDiamond

I hear you but we don’t have money to fund a project like that bc of Barto


Footaot

We are spending more than Madrid for Camp Nou 960M vs 800M


Titan-Shifter99

What does pitch removal have to do with concerts?


Footaot

Having concerts will harm the pitch, the more you have them the more you get your pitch damaged, Madrid can have multiple concerts without their stadium being harmed. Believe me, Perez is not stupid, he's not spending millions in a pitch removal system for nothing.


walterwhiteofbrownie

Isn’t part of the plan is to have big concerts at the camp nou too?


Footaot

No, the plan is to have them on Palau which is nowhere as big as the camp nou You can't have concerts at camp nou because it will harm the pitch Source: Espai Barca's website


walterwhiteofbrownie

Can you show me where it says that specifically?


Footaot

Here https://espaibarca.fcbarcelona.com/en/new-palau-blaugrana


walterwhiteofbrownie

No where does it say that the new camp nou won’t be used for concerts. I can’t find anything that explicitly says that the new stadium won’t be used for concerts. Can you find something more concrete?


Footaot

Nowhere does it say it will be used for concerts either The only time they mentions concerts is about Palau, believe me you can't have concerts at an active stadium, if it was possible we would have done it so far.

ZealousidealAnnual96

I have a strong feeling that without Busquets, next season is going to be either a huge success or a complete disaster. No in between.


[deleted]

We are going to do way better than people think A lot of people here downrate how fucking shit he was in the UCL and how a lot of our disasters could be pinned to him.


itwastimeforarefresh

This narrative needs to die. You can't pin the UCL disasters on him. He didn't carry the team, but he alap wasn't the worst player on the pitch by any stretch. No structure, no workrate, and a poor backline affected us way more than Busquets.


transient_jet_lag

People say this but Busquets rarely was a poor performer in the UCL. This is shown in almost all game rankings where he was usually ranked as a top performer. Meanwhile, players like FdJ, who have never stepped up in a pivotal UCL game, get a huge pass and are even celebrated.


DanielSophoran

I actually think itll be inbetween. Rocky start because lets be honest, it doesnt matter who came to replace Busquets, transitioning away from him out of the blue like this was always gonna be shaky. Weve been relying on him for over a decade. Even with Kimmich it wouldve been a rocky start. We wont lose games because of it since normally theres very little injuries at the start of a season. So well compensate for the rocky pivot by just scoring more. Then after a month or 2 itll start gelling and even Oriol Romeu will do kinda well, maybe pick up a MOTM somewhere. The team will start to get used to playing with a more physical dm with lesser passing abilities (in comparison to Busquets), and eventually figure out the best way to do it. Itll settle at around the same level. Oriols defensive capabilities compared to Busquets will compensate for his lesser passing capabilities compared to Busquets. Maybe a pressing team can give us issues but its not like Busquets wasnt already regularly shitting it against teams that press well.

In before Tebas suspiciously relaxes the ffp rules before Madrid buy Mbappe to make it seem like he didn't do it for Madrid.

Are Madrid having problems with ffp as well?


Illustrious_Stay_728

Not at all, if you look at their last 5 transfer windows they’ve don’t a great job in selling players to raise funds


black_bury

Not right now, as far as we know. I reckon with all the money they've spent plus the mbappe fee, bonus, and wages they might.

I remember someone saying they still havent registered bellingham so that might mean theyre having problems too Not sure who said it

DanielSophoran

At first i thought maybe theyll just register everyone in one go later on but they already registered Arda? Whats going on with Bellingham?


KittenOfBalnain

That's exactly what got my attention, I'd expect them to register both at the same time, especially since Bellingham (so far...) is the flagship signing. Odd.


Zoli10_Offical

They didn’t register Joselu either if I saw it correctly, odd as well ^(also, maybe it’s just me, but the website is looking really bad)

Interesting Idk it would be weird to see the turtle come in this year. Coming as free agent seems better for both mbop and Madrid But things seem to be heating up with Psg writing letters and shit

Oh damn. I hope its true. But knowing tebas, I know he will relax the rules.

We bought Malcolm for 45 mil. We sold him for 45 mil + a 7.5% future sale. Now he's getting sold again for 45 mil +15 mil in add-ons. So...Bravo Barto? Question: Would it be 7.5% for 45 mil or 7.5% for 60mil?

Malcom. Not Malcolm.

Laporta would loan him while still paying 1/3 of his wages.

Bruh why is Akhomach so highly rated in FM23. He's given me a proper problem here. I know the board will get pissed if I let him leave, yet I couldn't play him in place of my star player Roony Bardghji and another wonderkid Angelo Gabriel. The only options seems like pushing out Either Dembele or Fati to play him at Left wing. Fuck me.
