Listening to @victor_font about his view of the situation of #FCBarcelona

"I feel at the same time happy, sad, disappointed, very worried" thinking about the club

"The club has operational loses of €1000 million"
"The club needed a shock treatment from the elections. That would have allowed us, with creativity, to keep Messi... Xavi wanted him now to add quality in the last third and we would have tried to bring him back. But you have to do your homework in advance. With charisma and… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

RCB IS WINNING!!🤯

No, we aren’t talking about #IPL2023 but RCB as a business.

With a net worth of Rs. 637 CR,

#RCB is the third richest IPL team- behind only KKR & Mumbai Indians

What's their secret?

1/8🧵
Recently RCB filled out Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium WITHOUT EVEN PLAYING A MATCH!

They just invited fans to just come & watch them practice.

But why are fans crazy about RCB when they haven't even won the title once?

2/8🧵
Now, usually, an IPL team has multiple revenue streams-

First, the prize money- but let’s not go there

Next, we've got sponsorships👇

HILO👇
LA OPCIÓN MÁS POSICIONAL: Xavi tenia varias opciones para cubrir las bajas (Pedri-Gavi-Dembelé) y optó por la opción más posicional posible con los cuatro medios más medios de los que tenia disponibles.
(@Effmatch)
En frente, un 4-2-3-1 marcado. Esta vez la sorpresa no fue Rashford (que sí fue a la izquierda de incio) sino Sancho, que partió como media punta.

Ten Hag es un estratega al que le gusta sorprender

🔴🔵¿PORQUÉ EL BARÇA TRITURÓ AL MADRID?

Estos son los 5 puntos tácticos con los que el Barça dejó fuera de combate a los madridistas
#FCBarcelona

Con @KlipDraw + @Effmatch

HILO👇👇👇
1-POR PLAN DE PARTIDO: Xavi apostó por la fórmula híbrida con Balde en banda izquierda haciendo de lateral en defensa y de extremo en ataque. Por otra parte, encargó la defensa de Vinicius a Araujo mientras Koundé quedó en el medio para estar pendiente de Benzema.
Pero la gran novedad fue la elección de Gavi y no Pedri para jugar ladeado en la izquierda. Y con este cambio inesperado, el técnico azulgrana sorprendió a Ancellotti y ganó prestaciones a nivel colectivo.

I’ve had a few questions on the revenue impact of Barcelona’s exit elimination from this season’s Champions League after the group stage. As is often the case, the answer depends on how you look at it #FCBarcelona
As per my model, #FCBarcelona have earned €70.2m from this season’s Champions League, comprising participation fee €15.6m, prize money €7.0m, UEFA coefficient €34.1m and TV pool €15.9m less €2.5m COVID rebate to broadcasters. Image
As we can see, #FCBarcelona have benefited from their previous good record in Europe with their UEFA coefficient €34.1m payment accounting for nearly half their total €70.2m distribution. This is currently the third highest in Europe, only behind #RealMadrid and #FCBayern. Image

Thread on how much money clubs have already received after the Champions League 2022/23 group stage. Also includes estimates for English clubs in Europa League and Europa Conference League. Some assumptions made about the TV pool, but the figures should be reasonably accurate.
The Champions League accounts for the lion’s share of UEFA revenue with its €2.032 bln being nearly 3 times as much as the Europa League and Europa Conference combined (€700m). The difference is particularly stark in the UEFA coefficient (based on 10-year rankings).
Champions League overall prize money is 3.6 times the Europa League and 5.5 times the Europa Conference, but this varies by round. In general, the difference becomes smaller the further a club progresses, e.g. last 16 it’s 8x and 16x, while for the winners it’s only 2.3x and 4x.

#FCBarcelona 2021/22 accounts cover a season when they finished 2nd in La Liga and were eliminated at the group stage of the Champions League before reaching Europa League quarter-finals. Head coach Ronald Koeman was replaced by Xavi in November. Some thoughts follow.
#FCBarcelona swung from €555m pre-tax loss to €124m profit (€98m after tax), including €266m gain from TV rights sale. Revenue rose €48m (8%) to €639m and profit on player sales increased €24m to €28m, while operating expenses and interest payable were down €44m & €17m. Image
#FCBarcelona improvement in the bottom line was also driven by much lower once-off costs, as they had booked €271m in prior year following the Due Diligence report, including €161m player impairment and €110m provisions (law suits, tax cases). 2022 included net €6m reversal. Image

FT Real Madrid 3 Barcelona 1
Toni Kroos Masterclass on show as Real Madrid deservedly win #ELClasico
First Half Madrid started lively & playing at a tempo & energy that Barca at times especially in midfield just couldn’t cope with. Kroos, Modric, Tchouameni, Valverde & Vinicius.
We’re all fantastic not just with their quality on the ball but the edge they all showed in going past Barca players to counter fast which is exactly what Madrid want to do.

Madrid we’re causing so many problems find Vini in space at times 1v1 against Roberto with little help.
Madrid took a deserved lead when Kroos drove from midfield past Busquets he played the ball In behind the Barca defence for Vinicius to run into the space.

He has a 1v1 with Ter Stegen which he saved & Benzema scored with the rebound thanks to a deflection from Sergi Roberto.

Hoy todos se ríen de las palancas del #FCB y los memes no cesan por el estado actual del club. Solo demuestran corta memoria y escaso conocimiento sobre lo sucedido en el 2000 y la llegada de Florentino al #RealMadrid

Abro 🧵
Florentino ganó las elecciones en el 2000 (2da vez que se presentaba) en un momento dramático económicamente para el #RealMadrid (arrastraba una deuda enorme) y prometiendo a Figo 2do CAPITÁN y emblema del #FCB quien terminaba contrato ese año.
Tras ganar las elecciones a Sanz Florentino trazó su estrategia para sacar al club de la deuda, donde llego a decir q “sobrevivir día a día es un milagro”

Deuda neta 46200M ptas
Pagos adelantados 19000M ptas
DÉFICIT 7000M ptas

#FCBarcelona have announced the signing of Rapinha from #LUFC for €58m, while a deal to acquire Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich for €50m is agreed in principle. The question is how can they possibly afford these players, given their well-documented financial problems?
Only last month president Joan Laporta compared #FCBarcelona to a patient who “was practically dead in financial terms”, while the vice-president for finance Eduard Romeu said that €500m was needed “to save the club”.
This was not surprising, given the magnitude of #FCBarcelona’s financial issues. Although things have moved on since the most recent accounts for the 2020/21 season, it’s worth reviewing these to explain why so many fans are scratching their head at this summer’s spending.

Sí, Robert Lewandowski ha fichado por el Barcelona. Pero, ¿realmente sabes por qué lo hemos fichado?

▶ Historia
▶ Posición
▶ Estilo de Juego
▶ En clave #Barça

| @gusfop lo analiza | Vídeo: @LaportaEra. ¡Vamos al hilo! 👇🏼

🇵🇱 Historia

Lewandowski era flaco y propenso a las lesiones, pero en 2006 superó una lesión y, tras marcar 15 goles, llevó a su equipo a ganar la tercera división polaca.

Luego, con una media de 20 por temporada, Lewy llevó al Lech Poznan a la máxima categoría del fútbol 🇵🇱. Image
🥇 Historia

En la temporada 2014/15 el @BVB fichó a Lewandowski por 4.5M €. A partir de ahí empieza su ascenso al estrellato mundial.

Lewy llega al #FCBarcelona con valores que lo unen a este club y con un palmarés de 61 títulos, e incluso algún récord Guinness… Image

UEFA have announced new Financial Sustainability regulations from June 2022. President Aleksander Ceferin explained, “The evolution of the football industry, alongside the inevitable financial effects of the pandemic, has shown the need for wholesale reform and new regulations.”
UEFA director Andrea Traverso noted, “Competitive imbalance cannot be addressed simply by financial regulations. It must be addressed in combination with other measures. This is why we changed the name. The name fair play was interpreted as creating a level playing field.”
Ceferin added, “UEFA’s first financial regulations, introduced in 2010, served their primary purpose.” Now, instead of so-called Financial Fair Play, the focus is on the financial sustainability of clubs with 3 key pillars being monitored: solvency, stability and cost control.

There have been a few analyses of football club debt published recently, which are at best misleading, if not downright incorrect. So it’s once again time to wheel out my explanation of why debt figures should be treated with caution, as there are so many different definitions.
For the purpose of this review I will take the 2020/21 audited accounts of those clubs featuring in the Deloitte Money League (with the exception of Zenit St Petersburg, where I have not managed to source the details).
At the narrowest extreme, we have just bank debt, but the broadest extreme covers total liabilities, which includes all financial obligations, including transfer debt, staff payables, tax liabilities, trade creditors, provisions, accrued expenses and even deferred income.

UEFA has published the revenue distributions for the Champions League and Europa League in the 2020/21 season. Although these are very close to the modelled figures that I have previously provided, I thought some people might like to have the final, official figures.
Unsurprisingly, the two Champions League finalists earned the most with winners #CFC and #runners-up MCFC receiving £105m and £104m respectively, followed by #RealMadrid and #PSG, both £96m, then #FCBayern £81m and #LFC £77m.
Clubs in the Europa League received a lot less with winners #Villarreal getting only £29m, followed by semi-finalists #AFC £26m and #ASRoma £21m, then #THFC £16m. Runners-up #MUFC earned £15m after dropping down from the Champions League, while #LCFC got £14m.

1. Parlem primer de les projeccions d’ingressos de l’ecommerce. Aqui es diu q és 19.1MM al 2025. Això seria només el 22% dels ingressos totals del retail del club. Després d’una pandemia, en q els usuaris han adoptat la compra digital de manera important, no és una meta exigent
2) La comunitat digital del FCB té +300 milions de persones (només el 10% n'és a la base de dades del club😱, segons Sport fa temps). Com es comporten aquestes persones, les seves motivacions com a culers, és informació que NOMÉS pot saber-la el club.

A year ago 12 clubs announced a European Super League (ESL) before fan protests led to a humiliating climbdown just days later. However, the factors that drove the 12 clubs to this deeply unpopular move largely remain. It’s still all about money: a combination of fear and greed.
There is little doubt that many of the 12 Super League clubs continue to face serious financial problems. To some extent, this helps explain why the “dirty dozen” would seek more revenue, but that certainly does not excuse their horribly ill-conceived plan.
It is somewhat ironic that these clubs lamented the perilous state of their finances while simultaneously claiming that they had all the answers. Their argument that the Super League would somehow benefit the wider football family should also be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Deloitte have published the 25th edition of their annual Football Money League, which ranks the world’s leading football clubs by revenue, this time covering the 2020/21 season. Some thoughts in the following thread.
Deloitte said that the Money League remains “the most contemporary and reliable independent analysis of the top clubs’ relative financial performance”, which is largely true, even though they had to re-issue this year’s report after initially mis-stating #Milan revenue.
Revenue has obviously been significantly impacted by COVID-19. Deloitte estimate that the Money league clubs have missed out on well over €2 bln of revenue over the 2019/20 and 2020/21 season as a result of the pandemic.

Fresh analysis thread 🙌

How Barcelona used Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Frenkie de Jong to tear Real Madrid apart in #ElClasico win... 🧐🧵

🔋 @Wyscout

#FCBarcelona
Barcelona were set up in a 4-3-3, against a Madrid 4-4-2 defensive block. Torres moved inside to support centre-forward Aubameyang. De Jong and Pedri widened to support through the inside channels, with Busquets left as the single pivot ahead of the two centre-backs... 🧐🧵
Busquets dropped into defence to draw one of Madrid’s central midfielders up, and Pedri drifted wider to drag the other out. This often left De Jong as the free man to receive in the inside channel when Barcelona’s back line could access him... 🧐🧵

Elche CF vs FC Barcelona (1-2) Post Match Thread #FCBarcelona #LaLiga

1) Pass Network
Barca dominated most of the game, but there was a lack of wide outlet on the left due to Gavi playing as a false winger. Lot of chances created, scoreline could've been bigger for Barca.
2) Shot Map
Barca took a lot of shots, failing to convert a lot of easy goals. Elche too took a few many shots, mostly out of the box, compared to Barca who were shooting more from inside the box.
3) Attacking Sides
Barca were the most dominant in the middle third, completing 147 passes in the middle third, followed by the left and right side. Elche were less involved in the opp. third, mostly entering through the center.

#FCBarcelona have signed the young forward Ferran Torres from #MCFC for a hefty €55m transfer fee (plus €10m add-ons). Given the club’s well documented financial difficulties, this deal will have left many fans scratching their head. This thread will explain how it is possible.
President Joan Laporta was characteristically bullish after the signing: “We're still players in the market. Everyone had better get ready, because we're back, and with the desire to do good things. We've got our status back. The resurgence of #FCBarcelona is a reality.”
This seemed a little optimistic, not to mention very surprising, as #FCBarcelona had been pleading poverty not so long ago. For those in the cheap seats,  it’s worth taking a few moments to remind ourselves of the magnitude of their financial problems.
