The date was October 16, 2004, the opponents were Espanyol and it was the 82nd minute.
Lionel Andres Messi was about to make history as the youngest player ever to play for Barcelona’s first-team, at 17 years, three months and 22 days old.
Little did the world know at that time what awaited them. Continue reading
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks for Ronald Koeman at Barcelona.
The former Dutch international and Barca player has had to deal with the fall out from Lionel Messi wanting to leave, overseeing Messi’s best mate, Luis Suarez actually leaving, watching with interest to see how a vote of no confidence in the president who hired him was doing and all the while trying to get the Catalans playing well.
For the latter point, he couldn’t really have done any better. Continue reading
It’s taken a while to get through most of the votes cast in the first stage of the vote of no confidence relating to Barcelona president, Josep Maria Bartomeu.
The validation of successful votes is almost concluded, and has already surpassed the threshold needed to trigger a referendum, which is stage two of any vote.
Theoretically at this point, Bartomeu could still remain as president, and it doesn’t look like he’ll resign anytime soon. Continue reading
There’s been an awful lot going on at the Camp Nou just lately, with the Lionel Messi situation and the vote of no confidence for president, Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board hogging the headlines.
Everywhere you turn there’s something else for Barca’s long-suffering supporters to get hot under the collar about.
However, there’s one player that’s kept his own counsel. Continue reading
It was, perhaps, one of the most keenly awaited debuts in La Liga for many a year.
After such a disastrous end to their last campaign, the football family wanted to know how the ‘new’ Barcelona would fare under Ronald Koeman.
It’s fair to say that the team did everything asked of them by their coach, and then some. Continue reading
It should’ve been a time of reflection and celebration.
A time to look back on the six years that Luis Suarez has been at Barcelona, and remember him for the right reasons.
After all, the Uruguayan marksman leaves the club having become the third highest scorer in their history. Continue reading
The preparation is over and it’s time for things to get serious.
After everything that’s been said and done since the 8-2 hammering against Bayern Munich in last season’s Champions League, Barcelona have the chance to put it all behind them.
If they’re able to hit the ground running against Villarreal on Saturday, and Ronald Koeman can get everyone playing as they can, the Catalans won’t be too far off the pace for long. Continue reading
Barcelona are still a week and a half away from the start of their La Liga campaign, thanks to their Champions League exploits.
Beginning their 2020/21 season behind everyone else will already put them at a slight disadvantage, but if Ronald Koeman can have his side firing from the get-go, then there’s no reason why they can’t close the gap quickly.
In any event, what would represent success for the Catalans this season? Continue reading
Although La Liga begins this weekend for most of the teams in the Spanish top flight, Barcelona still have a couple more weeks of their pre-season before their 2020/21 campaign begins in earnest thanks to their participation in the latter stages of last season’s Champions League.
This evening, a friendly against Gimnastic Tarragona will showcase Ronald Koeman’s XI for the first time, and likely to hint at the formation and style he will play in the forthcoming season. Continue reading
It was one of the darkest periods in FC Barcelona’s recent history.
When Lionel Messi gave notice, via an official burofax, that he wanted to leave the club, it signalled a huge changing of the guard at the club.
He has since had the opportunity to clarify why he had taken such a decision, and it won’t sit well with many of the clubs supporters.
The fact that he was particularly scathing about president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, will have irked as much of the fan base as it will have delighted. Continue reading
