Ep 27: Barca vs Monaco : Post Match Review

FullBack ·

2024/09/23

It's hard to analyse a game where Barca were down to 10 men by the 10th minute against a highly physical and well drilled Monaco. Ter-Stegen's mistake and Eric Garcia's red card meant that Barca were chasing shadows most of the game. But even with that this wasn't a capitulation. If anything , this was a good wake up call that the team probably needed to get ready for the Champions League. That said, there were areas where questions remained. Pushed out of their position and made to stretch, Barca

In this episode of Fullback, join us as we welcome back Dan from the Barcelona Podcast. We jump right in into the latest discussions around Marc-André Ter Stegen, analysing his performances and the backlash around his kerfuffle that led to Eric Garcia getting a straight red 10 minutes into the match. We also explore the implications of Barcelona's physicality under Hansi Flick compared to Xavi, and how their fitness levels could impact their Champions League campaign. Additionally, we discuss

The International break is over. And over the next few weeks, things are going to get busy with Barca playing 7 games on the trot, with 5 away from home and fixtures against Real Madrid and Monaco. Thankfully the injury count has not gone up. This stretch of seven games and the ones that comes after this will pretty much define how the team goes into the winter break where Flick probably will get a few more reinforcements But how will the team fare till then?

Ep 24: Dani Olmo - Between The Lines

2024/09/11

Right from 2018, there has not been a single season when Dani Olmo has not been connected to returning to Barca.A versatile footballer known for his creativity, technical skill, and vision on the field, Dani has returned to Barca to headline his next act in what would be Barca' s most underwhelming transfer window in years. Primarily an attacking midfielder or winger, Olmo excels in dribbling, quick passing, and positioning, making him a key playmaker. His ability to operate between the lines and

End of the summer transfer window

2024/09/07

Without a doubt one of the most underwhelming transfer windows Barca have had in a long time. The expectations were high, while the finances were low.Not yet in La Liga's 1:1 rule, Barca had to resort to a mini fire sale to register the one signing they made in Dani Olmo and that too was provisional till December. Barca still short by about EUR 60M in fair play margins. But what does it all mean? How bad was the window given the clubs financial situation? Is the squad really terrible or was

The summer transfer window is officially shut. Barca for the third year in succession, have not been in the 1:1 rule with their wage bill higher than what was approved by La Liga.

We invite Don Hilton from the Barcelona Podcast to discuss the last ten years of Barcelona's transfers.

For a cash strapped Barca, this has been an underwhelming transfer window, with the only material change being that of coach Hansi Flick. There has been a mini fire sale to balance the books and in all probability Barca will close this tramsfer window wiht very little reinforcements and a lot of sales leaving their squad extremely thin and very dependent on youth and Barca B players.

In today’s episode, we dive into the latest transfer rumours swirling the Camp Nou. Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich is at the top of the list as the club looks to add his experience and versatility to their midfield. There’s also talk of bringing in Joao Felix to boost the attacking options, and Liverpool’s winger Luis Diaz to inject more pace and creativity into the squad.On the flip side, the future of Frenkie de Jong remains uncertain, with Barcelona open to selling the Dutch midfielder if a

This Euro , from BarcaFutbol, we are going live. We will be covering a few games everyday which will be shorter in duration, but hopefully with enough in -game context to entertain all our viewers. We start with Spain vs Croatia. On the surface, it seems like Spain dominated Croatia end to end, but the truth was far from it. Having said that, it is true, Croatia now has to win their second game to stay alive in the tournament. it will be a must win game for them. What went wrong today and what

Barca have a new coach. The same coach who led Bayern to defeat them 8-2 a few years ago. Barca's heaviest defeat in Champions League. A coach from the famed German school of football, of which Laporta is a fan. Hansi Flick won the sextuple with Bayern, but he had a stacked team. He won't have the same at Barca. Neither will he have the funds to buy the players he needs. And yet for some reason he has been wanting this job of coaching Barca, over all other jobs? Why did he opt for this

In a dramatic u-turn, emblematic of a normal office day @ FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez has decided to not resign as coach of Barca at the end of the season after categorically deciding to resign earlier in January. In the meantime petabytes of content have been dished out on possible new coaches and life at can Barca post miester Xavi. By now, all of that needs a u turn as well. But what does this all mean?

After the ignominy of two Europa Cup campaigns, Barca had the rub of the green with a fairly easy group stage draw this season. Coupled with a few good performances, Barca avoided a third season in Europa and went on to the Qaurter FInals where there season ended against PSG. A PSG who did not really play that well. A PSG against whom they should have won with a 4-2 lead in aggregate and 60 minutes left to play But they folded mentally under the pressure This wasn't the first time either

What a week it's going to be for Barca fans. Full of nerves and half chewed nails!!For a season that has been so topsy turvy with so many narratives, Barca find themselves with the slimmest of margins to make it to the Champions League semi-finals after ages in the wilderness. On the other side, a win against Madrid in the Clasico will make the league table suddenly very very interesting. 2 massive games in one week. 180 minutes that can completely turn the script on Barca's overall

At BarcaFutbol we have predominantly covered the men's team in terms of tactical and statistical analysis. But football has grown beyond the men's game. Case in point : The Women's Football World Cup had record live attendance in matches earlier last year. Over it's 100 year history, Barca as a club have had enormous cultural impact on the way the game has evolved and is now played. Their philosophy, way of playing, style of training are technical blueprints that have been exported

As life long Barca fans, we have been categorically critical of Barca this season.But club football is a tribal sport. Club affiliation amongst fans run deep, and as fans when we produce content, even with our best of intentions, we cannot be completely objective or practical. Biases appear So in this episode we decided to do an experiment. We invited a professional coach to hear his interpretation of Barca and Xavi's season. But we didn't want to stop just there.

Alright, Barca purists, you all have been waxing eloquent on Brighton & Hove Albion's fearless Italian manager, Roberto De Zerbi. This guy isn't just about results, he's about playing football with style and a whole lot of guts. De Zerbi's philosophy is pure - possession-focused, attack-minded, and with a touch of flair. While he has been compared to the likes of Pep Guardiola and Maurizio Sarri, his style is uniquely his own. De Zerbi doesn't want his teams just holding the

Barca have been at the crossroads.

The latest in the same series is Xavi resigning. Barca's 8th coach in 12 years. Laporta's second coming surely hasn't been as successful as his first one but it's also true that the situation he inherited is a lot more complex than last time and
