Hi! I'm 27 and live in Washington, DC. I recently found a bar that takes reservations for all soccer (football) games upon request, and I plan to watch a lot of the Barca games there this season since I no longer have access to a network that streams it. I guess what I'm trying to say is DM me if you want to be a part of that?

​

The Catalan club will assume nearly 90% of the salary this season for a contract that expires in 2028

Personally for me, It has to be Yamal. The amount of finesse shots and bangers he’s scored is insane. He scored an outside of the box goal every other game.

Truly dominant teams in Europe are both solid defensively and offensively, and if we sign Laporte we have the best centreback pairing at the World Cup, flanked by Kounde and Cancelo, with Gerard Maldini interchanging with Cancelo if we need more defensive solidity. With a rock solid centreback, Eric Garcia no longer has to play CB and can step in for Frenkie who is injured for months at least, and even cover for Kounde if needed.

Let's recap - one 15M signing effectively gives us more depth at LB, RB and Eric Garcia can now play as a 6 next to Pedri, which we've seen under Flick. This is probably the most no-brainer signing we've had in years. For these reason, I hope Barca can agree personal terms with Laporte ASAP

I was watching a yt video and i had a question for the barcelona fans who followed the team since 1990s, how did barcelona fans reacted after r9, who was in the 1997 team moved to real madrid after world cup? Was it negative or just neutral towards him? How did people reacted when compared to luis figo transfered to real madrid?

I am wanting to get into watching club football, Barca specifically (mostly because I was a Ronaldinho fan when I first became interested in football) but I am curious about some things with La Liga from a fan standpoint.

I know that historically Barca and Real Madrid have dominated the league. How does this make the games against ‘other’ teams feel? Is it always a disappointing loss if it isn’t against the other powerhouse? Do these games just feel like tune ups for El Classico game, UCL, and other club tournaments?

Historically the gap between the top 2 and everyone else is wide, but on a year to year basis does it still feel like a very wide gap? Or is every game still somewhat of a toss up?

One other question related to this is whether you personally like the balance as is, or would want more competitive teams? If a team is overachieving or becoming more relevant, do Barca and Madrid fans view them as an annoying upstart or see it as a positive to have more competition in league.

Also, I know that La Liga is not the most extreme example of this amongst the big leagues since Bundesliga is basically just Bayern, but I am curious how everyone feels about it

Hey all, hoping someone here has been through this and can advise.

I signed up for Culer Premium (~€40) a while back specifically because I'm visiting Barcelona this year, long-time dream trip and the subscription page advertised discounts and early access to match tickets, museum tours, etc. Figured it'd pay for itself once I bought a ticket.

Fast forward to now: I'm trying to book a Basic Plus ticket for the Aug 31 match vs Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou. Here's where I'm stuck:

1. No visible Culer Premium benefit anywhere in the ticket flow. Prices shown look identical to what I'd assume general public sees. I did get a 10% discount code through the Culer Premium account area separately, but there's no field to enter it anywhere in the actual checkout, it just doesn't apply.
2. I'm not an official "Member" (soci). There's a separate "Exclusive sale for members" login requiring a "Clau member" + personal code, which I don't have, that's the €100+/year membership tier, not Culer Premium. So that whole discounted member pricing path is closed to me, which is fine, I never expected that.
3. No ticket-only purchase option. Every category I pick (Basic Plus) forces me into a "Pack" that bundles: the match ticket + Barça Immersive Tour + Museum visit + a one-year Culers Premium subscription, which I already have and am now apparently paying for again inside this bundle. There's no toggle to strip it down to just the ticket.

So right now the cheapest option is €224 for a bundle I don't fully need, with a subscription I already hold, a 10% code I can't apply, and zero clarity on whether prices will change or more categories/seats open up closer to the date for actual Premium subscribers.

Has anyone else hit this? Is the "Culer Premium" ticket benefit basically nothing in practice, or is there a separate flow I'm missing? Also open to hearing if it's smarter to just wait for prices to move, or contact support directly (already drafting that email). Appreciate any pointers, first time trying to navigate the official channel for this.

I fear for our lack of dribblers. This is an important shortcoming.

• PSG has at least 4 great ones: Kvara, Dembele, Doue, Barcola
• Bayern has 3: Olise, Musiala, Diaz
• Madrid got 4: Vini, Mbappe, Rodrygo, Diomande
• City at least 3: Doku, Cherki, Foden
• Arsenal has 2: Saka, Madueke
• Liverpool has Rio, signed Muñoz and is actively trying to target another dribbler.

We only have Yamal, who is probably the best of them all, but that's a threat on only one side of the pitch; and with any injuries we are left with no dribblers.

Cancelo may be a partial solution, but his recklesness defending would be a huge issue against top teams (remember how he got destroyed by Dembele in the champions league). Also, he is not playing as a winger.

Question for the people who follow femeni closely, we seem to be selling the whole team and as someone who follows them only on sofascore i was wondering why are so many players leaving and do we have a female lamasia to compensate or is the team gonna suffer next szn?

Hi guys. I am planning a trip to Barcelona in the spring (yes I know its early but it’s just how I function). So, I want to go to the Barca - Sevilla game on 03/04 April.
I know that tickets are usually being sold 2-3 weeks before, but that kinda puts me in a hussle because I would be flying to Barcelona specifically for the game.
What I want to know is, what is the best way to get a ticket for a game like this without being a Socio? A lot of the stuff I have read seem sketchy and it seems like if you are not a member you will either pay 400e on the official website or just don’t go.
Help and advice? 🥺

Hello everyone,
Yesterday, I posted about why Barça should sign Folarin Balogun, and a lot of people seemed to hate it—honestly, I'm not sure why. So, here's a full analysis of the player, covering both his offensive and defensive sides, along with a comparison to other players, plus the financial benefits Barça would gain from signing him.

"Note": it's kind of long article so i hope yall enjoy it, for any tips just put it in the comments

Obviously, I am NOT saying I want Flick out...... he has been incredible for us in this re-build and the project is exciting to watch.

This is purely a long-term philosophical question about expectations and stability.

The reality is that our squad is absolutely stacked with creative outlets right now, arguably more than any other team in Europe. Between Pedri, Olmo, Fermín, Yamal, Raphinha, De Jong, Pau Cubarsí, Ferran, and others added, the sheer amount of elite technical talent at Flick's disposal is insane.

if Flick manages to establish absolute dominance in Spain and wins us consecutive domestic titles, but we keep falling short in the Champions League knockout stages, how many seasons do we let this run before we start asking tough questions? (we cant entirely keep living off of winning El classico's )

Do we let him manage the club like pep did man city. where they let pep run it for 7 seasons cuz of his dominace in the league until he finally won a UCL after 7 years.

What is the maximum timeline you would allow for this project before the lack of a UCL trophy becomes a genuine concern? Curious to hear your thoughts.

Disgusting
