No Money, Even Mo Problems - The 2021-2022 Season Thread

Ousmane Dembélé is represented by two agents: Moussa Sissoko and Marco Lichtsteiner. Right now, Ousmane and Lichtsteiner accept the new proposal of Barcelona. Sissoko keeps asking for a renewal bonus, which is why the renewal is still stuck. [@gerardromero]

Why is FdJ constantly being offered to other clubs? You're club goes 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

 

Shit, just saw this on Reddit, when Barto was giving out huge raises. Doing the math in 2016-17 78M Euros to those 6, almost half to Messi (38); 2019-20 more than double that, 160M, to the same 6 players, 70M to Messi:

 

BASKETBALL & WOMEN'S FOOTBALL - busy weekend
Barca plays Real Madrid tomorrow, Thursday May 19th at Noon - Pacific, 3PM - Eastern (21:00 CEST) in Final Four in Belgrade, Serbia. Winner meets Efes v Olympiacos winner (they play 3 hours earlier on Thursday), on Saturday 21st at 10AM - Pacific, 1PM Eastern, 19:00 CEST.

Barca Women play Lyon in the final in Juventus stadium in Turin, Italy at the same time as the Basketball final: Saturday 21st at 10AM - Pacific, 1PM Eastern, 19:00 CEST. The women's match will have a great quality youtube stream posted by DAZN for free.

 

Damn, did not even realize this was happening today (if it is not on a weekend at least do it on Thursday)! At least we lost to the champs, Frankfurt, winners on PKs: https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/match/2033450--frankfurt-vs-rangers/

all 10 PKs: https://streamff.com/v/843f50

 

Has the Conference Final been played yet?
I would have thought that would have gone first before the Europa final.

 

Next Wednesday, May 25th. Makes no sense to me to have that later, unless they wanted Frankfurt to be able to be game sharp and start their summer vacations without undue delay, since the German season just ended, whereas other leagues are still ongoing (including Serie A and Eredivisie)?

 

I'm certain the dates were set well in advance. I don't think UEFA have ever let the known finalists dictate when a final would be played. At least, not since the 60s with the old Fairs Cup which UEFA did not control.

Indeed, looking at next season the Europa final will again be played before the Conference final.
2023
31 May: Europa final in Budapest
7 June: Conference final in Prague
10 June: Champions final in Istanbul

 

Barca Basketball up 11 at halftime (45-34). Efes already in the final, so it could be a repeat of last year, when Efes beat Barca in the final. Hopefully a different result this time. But first need to hold off Real Madrid in the 2nd half. I'm watching here with AdBlockPlus on: http://streamgo.to/i_1

Barca Femeni of course are already facing the only team to beat them in a CL Final (well they have only been to two), Lyon, the most decorated team in Women's CL history. Shame both finals will be on at once should Barca Basketball make it.

 

Good gawd...

I'm sure you're aware that Barca will do a two match pre-season tour of the U.S. east coast:
Tuesday 19 July v Inter Miami
Saturday 31 July v New York Red Bulls

According to Mundo Deportivo the team will then return home to play the Gamper on Friday 6 August.
The opponent?
AS Roma

Who's their coach, again?

I feel like the EL final gets a bit lost in its current slot. I.e. the midweek before the final weekend of most big leagues. You even risk one of the finalists not making it a high priority if they have a must-win domestic match 3 days later (imagine if Milan were in the final yesterday, for e.g.).

Not sure why UEFA doesn’t just schedule all 3 finals on the same weekend:
FRI: Conference League
SAT: Europa
SUN: CL
??

 

that's actually a good idea

we just need Pique to pitch the idea to them!

throw in the womens' UCL final and they can make a whole big cash cow thing out of it all.

Saudi Arabia anyone?? ... ok ok that's going too far...sorry

but seriously it could be a really fun weekend thing

Friday: open with the UEFA Youth League Final
Saturday: Conference League and Europa League Finals
Sunday: Women's and Mens Champions League Finals

 

Shit season

Hope the next is better

 

Madrid seemingly missing out on Mbappe after also losing out on Haaland helps though.

Fabrizio Romano gave it a “Here we go” so I assume it’s official? Would be absolutely hilarious if it is.

These clowns on the Madrid forum were so damn certain that they wouldn’t only land Mbappe but also Haaland so they can show off their super-squad in their shiny new stadium. Some of them even vowed to eat their hats and delete their accounts if Mbappe were to stay at PSG.

If the mounting reports are true and Mbappe snubbed Madrid it would be an embarrassment of riches as he played them like a flute just to get more money.

 

Also, again, if true, seems Laporta was right all along about Mbappe’s wage demands after everyone jumped at his neck for uttering such “nonsense”.

 

Same, lol. Got my popcorn ready. And yes, I know exactly who you mean. Always love seeing such posters get a good old humble pie shoved down their throats. Both him and the other one who’s mantra was some variation of “tranquilo” for months cause “Flo’s got this”. Lmao. This is too good to be true.

 

His own mother said so.

It is all but official

 

women's UCL final starting soon.

watch it live on youtube

 

Really was a golazo from distance, sort of an Adriano special if you recall our men's team's versatile fullback:

Lots of chances for Barca lately, hopefully an equalizer coming.

 

now 3rd, damn Barca.
