It's amazing what Xavi has done in a very short period time. Without preseason or time to work with the team properly because there is a game every three days. Hiring a coach is the most difficult thing in team sports and although it's early, it looks like Xavi is the real deal Watching the team doing basic stuff like the striker dropping and returning a simple pass with their back to the goal, so the inside mid can attack the space is something we hadn't see in years. Hell, even the tactical fouls are welcome. Barça had become a very naive, soft team

Barça will always be Barça. No one can change the self destructive nature of this club. If people like Cruyff, Guardiola or Messi can't, no one can. I legit thought that the losing mentality was behind us. That Barça had finally reached their potential. A high level of maturity How wrong I was. Barça had everything. A candidate says that he wants to destroy that and we make him president! Everyone was jealous of Barça. Everyone wanted to be Barça. And for us, it wasn't good enough. We have done this to ourselves. It's our fault

My happiest (not Barça related) sports moment. I had the feeling that it was going to happen, but I couldn't watch the game. Didn't want to jinx it. The football gods sure took their time to do the right thing after so many tough losses. 50/50 games that always went the other way Maybe, with time, and after this, people will recognize what this generation has done. They played four tournaments in a row and didn't lose a single game in regular time. Lost three finals where they had the better chances and you can argue they deserved to win the three of them

Argentina have put themselves in a position where it's impossible to compete. I have no doubt that 20 or 30 years ago, people would have seen their 2011-2016 period differently. Three finals and they didn't lose a single game in regulation time in four major tournaments In the 2011 Copa América, they lost on penalties against Uruguay. In the 2014 World Cup, they lost to Germany in extra time. Then they lost two Copa América finals against Chile on penalties. Argentina never had that moment of luck all champions need
