There will come a time late in the season when Barcelona get knocked out of the UCL in the most heartbreaking way possible because of defensive errors. And all the fans hyping this team up while ignoring the obvious problems will act like it came out of nowhere.
I’m seeing the 24/25 season all over again. I am still not moved untill they sign atleast 2 solid defenders in janaury.

Been saying this for almost a year now. Flick runs Pedri, Lamine, Cubarsí and Raphinha into the ground, barely gives the bench players enough minutes to develop, and never lets his key players breathe.
Then we get to big games without them and pay the price.
Outside of El Clásico, Flick’s big-game record has been far from convincing too. At some point, we need to talk about this.

🚨 FALSE INFO ALERT ❌
The loudest cheers were clearly for Messi.
You can hear the crowd shouting Messi the loudest when Henry told R9 to pick one player to play with and again when his footage was shown.

He was not even better than Messi in the calendar year 2008.
Better for the first 3 months, when Messi returned from injury in spring 2008 he took over - just watch the Barca United tie - Messi toyed with them.
After 2008 Olympics he turned into alien mode while Ronaldo struggled

🚨 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟: More than 5,009 people voted MORE THAN ONCE for the B.O.A.T award which Cristiano Ronaldo won! ✨
• 44 people voted between 10 and 26 times.
• 300 people voted between 5 and 9 times.
• 4,665 people voted between 2 and 4 times.
Each vote costs €1.
Look at the quotes and comments under this tweet😂
Ronaldo fans can’t handle the truth when it comes out. They’d rather push a fake narrative and hype up something that isn’t even impressive just to protect his glorified image.
🚨 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: 𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐎 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁.𝐎.𝐀.𝐓. 𝐀𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐃 — 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟖 𝐁𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐍 𝐃'𝐎𝐑 𝐖𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐕𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 🌕🇵🇹
But here's what you need to know: the B.O.A.T. is a fan-voting initiative launched by the Ballon d'Or organization, 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗔𝗡 𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗡 𝗗'𝗢𝗥 𝗧𝗥𝗢𝗣𝗛𝗬. Fans had to pay €1 to cast their vote 💰🗳️
The B.O.A.T. (Ballon d'Or Of All Time) was introduced to celebrate 70 years of the Ballon d'Or 🎂
Fans voted for the greatest Ballon d'Or-winning season in history. Only players who had won the award 𝗔𝗧 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗧𝗪𝗜𝗖𝗘 were eligible 🏆
And despite the comparisons, the B.O.A.T. is 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗢𝗡 𝗗'𝗢𝗥. They are two completely separate initiatives ❌
𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗖𝗥𝟳 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕.𝗢.𝗔.𝗧. 𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗟𝗘? 👀
some people had the audacity to say this system is better the journalists voting for the Ballon d’Or.
Ronaldo’s PR team literally put money into this and people think we’ll take this serious lmao

2021 Ballon d’Or: Who deserved it?
Messi: 42 goals, 19 assists (61 G/A). Top scorer of Laliga and Copa America + the player of Laliga and the Copa America
• TROPHIES: Copa del Rey & Copa América.
Lewy: 51 goals, 9 assists (60 G/A). Top scorer of Bundesliga
• TROPHIES: Bundesliga & Super Cups.
Both were knocked out early in the UCL, with Messi recording 7 G/A and Lewy 5.
Now let’s put it this way, the Copa del Rey and Super Cups are comparable, but how is winning the Copa América comparable to winning the Bundesliga? That’s like equating the Euros with La Liga.
Messi had the numbers, the trophies and an all-time international tournament. There’s no strong argument against him winning the 2021 Ballon d’Or.

It’s genuinely hilarious to see how these Madrid fans downgrade the most prestigious trophy in football just to hype up some local trophies.

Barça should either bring him back or sell him to Liverpool for at least €80M.
He has everything you want in a defender: physicality, pace, availability, and elite 1v1 ability. He’s the ideal defender for almost any team; he’s just not suited to Flick’s demonic high line.
He’s still exactly the type of defender you’d want at your club.
If a player doesn’t meet at least one of those three criteria you listed, he shouldn’t win the award at all, right?
Because if we’re applying that logic consistently, Ronaldo wouldn’t have even come close to sniffing that award.
How I would fix the Ballon d'Or:
- Ceremony at the end of July
It's a season based award so it makes no sense for it to be held in October when the new season has already began.
- Top 10 instead of top 30
30 nominees is way too much it just creates confusion and it feels like slop. The 10 best players of the season makes it more prestigious and easier to decide.
- Voting in the middle of the season and at the end
It's difficult for most people to remember performances form a 10 month period so have a vote in December/January and in June/July with the 2nd part of the season being double points or 1.5x.
- Clear criteria
It feels like everyone votes based on their own version of what the Ballon d'Or should be...
1. Eye test
2. Trophies/achievements
3. Importance for the team/big game performances
- Less voters
Have a selected amount of people who genuinely watch the games and are qualified to have a valuable opinion instead of random journalists from each country that watch 2 games a year.
If you had the attention span to read this, you are already more qualified than most people voting for this award right now ❤️
