Don't fall for it just yet this is just Messi threatening FC Barcelona president
He's been there long enough, is old enough to maybe not want to have to establish a new Barcelona team over one or two seasons and sells enough merch to go anywhere in the world but the Americas.
Problem is, there is nothing much prestigious around for him apart from England and he doesn't strike me as one of the lads.

I want to know how the fuck Abidal got that job anyway. He always seemed totally unqualified and almost everything he's touched since his hiring has turned to shit. Not really a Barcelona fan but good riddance to that guy. Useless.

He will not go anywhere and will retire at FC Barcelona, the thing is Messi is above the club and this is his way of putting the boot on the president and the board mouths because doing this will rally the registered (and unregistered) fans of the club to crucify both the president and the board. The president is for sure talking to Messi at the moment trying to beg him for a way to make him content again. If Messi does not want to deal with a rebuild he will just retire but I suspect he is holding off because he want to play in one last World Cup in two years and how many Copa América they will hold in the meantime.



Clearly the producers let them speak their mind but can they stand the heat that will come from it?

Welcome to the Football thread :messenger_beaming:
who do you support?


Koeman in at barca, basically be a one year contract till new president brings in xavi and a year's compensation.

Messi is booting the president out for sure so it is not a good idea as a manager to go there just yet, you need to be on good terms with whoever the next president and board are.

Who will keep an eye on it though?

Not sure about other leagues but in the Premier League there’s meant to be a test to ensure owners are “fit and proper” But it’s obviously not really enforced. Journalists and pundits should also be better about highlighting this stuff rather than just praising them as being remarkable projects.

I meant who will keep an eye on that lad if he get fired or suddenly change his ways.
About what you said the company decide what is allowed to broadcast, so a corporation with all what that entails.

Ah ok. He’s apparently a fairly regular pundit for RTE in Ireland so if he’s suddenly no longer around then it would seem pressure was applied to them. But his comments are getting a fair bit of press so it would be harder for them to do that now.

We will find out sooner or later.

Gabriel Jesus: “I used to eat a lot of junk food... pizza, hamburgers." “Do you see it? Lots of salad, pasta, fruit, vegetables, I never thought my fridge would be like this. Before it was just chocolate, cake, pudding… I miss my pudding, man.”

recently when Bayern win the UCL Real Madrid win the following year
2001 Bayern won then in 2002 Real Madrid win
2013 Bayern won then in 2014 Real Madrid win
if Bayern win it in 2020 does that mean Real Madrid win it next year 2021? :pie_thinking:
 
Shoutout to Lyon who played like MEN. They didn't win because they lack the manpower and the current Bayern squad is well on its way to be an all timer, but they didn't shit their pants like Leipzig did. Went down swinging, they should be proud.

Now you go and fucking finish the job against PSG. Do NOT choke this one out my german friends.
 
Germans dont choke, they swallow

Barcelona LOL, my team is a joke right now.

The board and president yes and you have players who are not performing up the standard that they should and some others that need to be off loaded, you will be fine if you vote for a competent president in the next election.

Sup. General interest in Football. Sometimes more sometimes less. Beautiful combination football, amazing freekicks and great box to box midfield battles are my jam I'd say.
Favorite player right now is Sadio Mané. Great guy and great player :messenger_sunglasses:
