Barca have been at the crossroads. For a while now. Bad financial planning, boardroom scuffles, bad governance, Covid and the slow retirement of a once in lifetime generation of players who made them the best club in the world for a while. 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...

The overwhelming question is why did this happen? But what if the question was "Was it supposed to be any different"?

This season has mostly been forgettable for most Barca fans. The transfer window was at best opportunistic but still felt exciting with players like Gundogan, Felix and Cancelo coming in.

For Barca especially, this international break could not have come at a better time after the painful ordeal of being outplayed by Shakhtar, La Real and Alaves in consecutive g...

Barca Athletied their way to a League title last season. Purists anguished, realists justified, but there was no denying the fact that Barca were no longer playing eye pleasing elite football. It was often messy, often riding on luck and often just grinding things out. This season, things have continued on that downhill trend. At Anoeta against La Real and at Hamburg against Shakthar, Barca looked...
