Madridistas All Over Copa And Euros Collide While Colombians Dominate - The Other Teams Thread

Vinicius/Haaland are far superior duo as they would fit together like a glove.

Vinicius will never be a great goalscorer, but he's amazing at setting up chances for his teammates (at least for Madrid). Vinicius will have the LW for himself.

Haaland is a GOAT-level striker whose goalscoring production is on par with Prime Messi & Prime Ronaldo. Haaland ghosting in semi-finals & finals won't be an issue with Vinicius on the team.

Leaving aside the fact Barca cannot afford Haaland's massive salary demands, why would Haaland downgrade himself by joining a much worse team than Man City? Barca are nowhere an UCL contender and have an inferior overall team than Man City.

Perhaps Haaland joins Man City when he's past his prime.

Cristiano left Man United that won 3x EPL titles in a row & reached 2 UCL-finals (won 1) to join a far worse Real Madrid team because he was a fan of the club. That's not the case with Haaland.

 

I know Frenkie earns an unreasonable amount at Barca, unreasonable both when he arrived and even more so now. However, I didn't know he "makes quite a bit more than Haaland". Assuming that's true, and I'll gladly take your word for it, it's quite stunning. Wow!

 

Haaland should have won Balon d'or a couple of seasons ago and with how he is going right now will probably win one for this season

 

If Pep is going to leave at the end of the season and City will win another EPL, what reason he has to stay at City?
He already won 3 EPL in a row, without Pep there chances of winning the UCL are getting lower[even that they won with Pep only 1 UCL in 7 years].
Also, he and his dad said that they wanna try out all of the league.
1 more important thing is that Ballon d'Or, the last EPL player that won it was CR7, and before that was Owens[In 32 years of EPL, only 2 players from EPL won while at the same time 18 players from La liga won it] So coming to Barca will increase is his chances of winning it.

Let's also not forget that at the end of the season we will get a verdict of the 115 FFP of City.

 

City are notorious for being early strugglers. Haaland's biggest obstacle right now is Pep and taking him out before being to score more goals. He and City have hit the ground running from minute 1. They'll obviously not win every single game but with how everyone else are struggling how he does right now will weigh very heavy later on. We should now given Bellingham was crowned balon d'or winner already in December.

 

Perhaps but I think Vini and Bellingham have shown last season that you don't have to have 9 months worth of top performances to be shoe in for the award. City will obviously win the league and I reckon he will be front runner whether City wins CL or not just by beating on the EPL teams which is not entirely foreign given he has made it his stomping ground for the past nearly 3 seasons.

 

If it wasn't for a renewed will to give Rodri a "legacy" balon d'or the award would've been between 2 teammates which is unlucky for both who had a half of so and so performances and one half of other worldly peformances. Haaland with how he is going is the front and centre of City's quest for trophies. And given he was robbed of a balon d'or before you best bet he will be a shoe in for the award.

I maintain that I think Haaland will win the next balon d'or if City win the league and make at least the semi in the CL.

 

Barca press very high. Girona hardly hold the ball.

 

Totally different approach than what we saw last night. Girona can barely get out of their own half.

 

This is why I wrote yesterday that it’s relate to Carlo. We can kill teams and win 3/4-0 if we press hard and won’t let the rival hold the ball more than 2-3 passes. But we don’t do it. We give the rival team to play and attack

 

Barca lead 1-0
So obvious
What a mistake idiot
Last season Girona won Barca 4-2 in both games
