🚨🔵🔴 LAPORTA, DECO, HANSI FLICK — GET ON A PLANE TO COMO. NOW!
Pick up the phone. Make the calls. Speak to his family. Get Messi involved if you have to.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING NICO PAZ TO BARCELONA!
Promise him a project where he will be trusted, developed and given the keys to become Barça’s next great No. 10. Make him feel wanted. Make him see the vision.
And when Real Madrid come knocking? TELL HIM TO REJECT THEM!
We cannot afford to watch another generational talent slip through our fingers while our rivals get stronger.
Nico Paz in Barcelona colours, pulling the strings behind our attackers, creating chances and controlling games at the Spotify Camp Nou?
LAPORTA, MAKE IT HAPPEN! WE NEED OUR NEXT NO. 10!
🔵❤️| Maybe this is why Hansi Flick Choose Guillem Víctor.
At 19, one thing that makes him interesting is that he’s not limited to playing right-back.
• Tactical intelligence: He understands positioning and can adapt to different roles without losing sight of his responsibilities.
• Versatility: He can play in midfield and across the defence. At La Masia, he was reportedly nicknamed “Joshua” because of his similarities to Joshua Kimmich in switching between right-back and midfield.
• Playing out from the back: He can help progress the ball from defence, combine in midfield and look for forward passes rather than just playing it safe.
Flick is so interested in versatility, He needs players who can help build attacks and understand when to move into midfield.

Interesting, Flick prefers Guillem before Landry. My only problem with Guillem is that he is short and not very physical. He was probably the best player for the U19s last year, while also playing for Barça Atletic. Technically he is very good.
To be fair, I can see it, because I see a similar style of play to Xavi, but Landry would have been more towards Eric and Kounde profile wise.

Andrés Iniesta was special because of the way he turned pressure into poetry.. left foot, eyes up, always one step ahead and still delivered the moments that defined eras.
Pedri is the closest we have right now. Same number 8, same ability to receive under pressure and invent the next pass before anyone else sees it.
👀 Is Pedri already the midfielder who can carry that legacy, or does he still need the big nights to match it?🔵🔴
Exposing Madrid Fake Love on Nico Paz
Real Madrid might be more W!cked than Atlético Madrid.
Same fanbase that flooded Nico Paz with hate in 2024 because he didn’t pass to Arda Güler, now acts shocked when other clubs admire him.
They chose Güler over him and still do till this day. They have a w!cked buyback clause that could limit his future at bigger clubs like Barcelona, yet they can’t sacrifice Güler or Jude to give him a proper chance.
Even Atlético Madrid isn’t this w!cked.
Classic fake love. You rejected the path, not the player. Now you don’t want anyone else to have what you wouldn’t develop.
“NICO PAZ LOVES MADRID SO MUCH”
But he said this
“It was for nights like this that I wanted to stay. I thought this was where I would grow the most. I think I made the right decision.”
An academy product who chose minutes and trust over warming the Bernabéu bench.
Now he’s delivering on big nights while Madrid fans are busy explaining why he loved Madrid.
You wanted him to wait for his turn. He chose to make his own name.
Nico Paz chose Como. And every masterclass makes that decision look smarter. Cry about it.
I’m still waiting for a public apology from Cubarsí and Martín after their performances cost us the Clásico.
Funny how the same fans who scream “accountability” and demand statements every time Araujo has a bad game suddenly go quiet when it’s the new golden boys.
Double standards are loud. Visca el Barça, but let’s keep the same energy for everyone.
Marvation retweeted
This Messi's insane goal was voted by journalist and football fans as the best goal by a 30+ years old player in the WC history 🥹
At 37, Ronaldo's 2022 WC campaign only had 1 goal. 💀😂
Guess what kind of goal he scored 😭😭
🔵❤️| LAMASIA: Brain Farinas’s playing time.
Barcelona blocked Brian Fariñas’ Girona move just to give him 0 MINUTES? Make it make sense.
Look at the minutes some of his teammates have played this season:
• Lamine Yamal — 1,101 minutes
• Pedri — 906 minutes
• Pau Cubarsí — 872 minutes
• Fermín López — 776 minutes
• Dani Olmo — 516 minutes
• Marc Bernal — 415 minutes
• Gavi — 191 minutes
• Hamza Abdelkarim — 12 minutes
• Brian Fariñas — 0 minutes.
Nobody is saying Fariñas deserves the same minutes as Yamal or Pedri. But if Barcelona believed in his potential enough to block his Girona move, where is the development pathway?
If Flick has no immediate plans for him, January is the time to reconsider a loan.
Barcelona cannot keep protecting a player’s potential while denying him the opportunity to develop it.

🔵❤️| TONI FERNÁNDEZ: IS THE VENEZIA MOVE ACTUALLY WORKING? 🇪🇸
Toni Fernández has now gone four of Venezia’s first seven league matches without playing.
The more concerning detail? He has yet to feature in any of Davide Nicola’s first three matches in charge.
Against Inter, Venezia lost 2–0 to two own goals, yet Toni remained an unused substitute.
There is also a reported €4m mandatory-purchase condition linked to three appearances. Toni has already made three substitute appearances, so the idea that Venezia is avoiding the trigger remains unproven.
Was this the right move for his development, or does he risk spending the season watching from the bench?
A young player needs minutes to grow but can only get that opportunity in Barcelona than outside.
🔵❤️| LA MASIA: TONI FERNÁNDEZ UPDATE 🇪🇸
The former La Masia talent is still waiting for his next opportunity at Venezia.
📊 His Serie A numbers so far:
• 3 appearances
• 58 minutes played
. 6.03 Ratings
• 0 starts
• 0 goals, 0 assists
• 1 yellow card
His last appearance came against Lazio on September 19. He was an unused substitute against Atalanta on October 12, and has remained on the fringes since the coaching change.
New Venezia coach Davide Nicola addressed his situation ahead of the Inter clash, describing Toni as a player with significant potential who needs the right development pathway.
Barcelona have not completely closed the door. Barça retained a buy-back option and a percentage of any future sale when he left after eight years at La Masia.
At 18, Toni is entering an important stage of his career. His next minutes in Serie A will be worth monitoring closely.
Tonight: Venezia vs Inter.
Will we see Toni Fernández return to action?
SCOUTING WATCH: Alessandro Bastoni 🇮🇹
A defender who can dictate play and dominate in the air.
📊 Bastoni’s stats for Inter today:
• 93/101 (92%) Accurate passes
• 113 touches
• 12 passes into the final third
• 6 clearances, 3 headed
• 4 recoveries
• 1 interception, 1 block
• 3/3 aerial duels won (100%)
• 1/1 successful dribbles
• 0 times dispossessed
• 2/5 accurate long balls
• 1/3 ground duels won
His ability to progress play from the back while remaining composed is a major asset. The aerial dominance stands out, although his ground-duel numbers leave room for improvement.
Bastoni is more than a defender. He’s a build-up weapon.
🔵❤️| SCOUTING WATCH: Alessandro Bastoni & Toni Fernández
Bastoni has already been booked with a yellow card, and the free-kick he conceded led to a goal that was later ruled out for offside after the rebound.
Beyond the incident, his progressive passing, composure under pressure and ability to break lines from defence make him an interesting profile to study.
Meanwhile, Toni Fernández, I hope your moment comes soon. 🇪🇸

How can a five times Ballon d’Or winner wins the greatest BOAT of all time over an 8 times winner?
How an can a 3 times ucl winner be the greatest ucl winner of all time over people who have won 6 times?
You can clearly see how dumb it's sound. 😂🤣
If it was an actual award do you think Ballon d’Or will allow you fans to vote in??.
It's just like me saying having 5 Mercedes benz c300 is greater than having 8 of same Mercedes model.
You can see how dumb the award is.
You can see here in this photo why fans aren't allowed to vote for the Ballon d’Or. This is a clear example of how your BOAT AWARDS looks like.
Because even with this voting, Garnacho can actually win the Ballon d'Or.

The truth is, there's no coach in the world who watches Andreas Christensen in training and doesn't take him seriously. 🥲
☑ On the ball?
☑ Positioning?
☑ Accurate passes?
☑ Forward passes?
☑ And more.
You simply cannot overlook this man. Hansi Flick can't afford to do without him. 🥹
Bastoni bringing down Akor Adams 🇳🇬
The former Sevilla man and current Nigerian international was brought down by Bastoni, earning the Italian a yellow card.
This is what makes Alessandro Bastoni such a good defender.
He knows when to engage, how to use his body and how to manage dangerous situations against physical attackers like Akor Adams.
Even when he gets beaten or has to commit a foul, his defensive awareness and aggression are part of what makes him such a difficult defender to play against.
Physical battle, defensive aggression and a reminder that Akor is not afraid to take on defenders.

Bias aside, If the 2027 Ballon D'or be awarded now, who is stopping Yamal from winning it? 🎙️
