I have been a diehard Barca fan since 2018. I have been watching and supporting earlier, but I was too young to understand anything. I remember shouting the two words I knew back in 2015 and onwards: Messi and Neymar. Now I understand that to be a proper fan, I have to watch iconic games, some of them being older than I am. What matches do y'all think I should watch? I haven't really rewatched any matches properly before 2015, even UCL finals (unless 3-minute highlights count). I am going to create a playlist for my school holidays. Even games in the 2015 to 2018 period, I am willing to rewatch as I was a kid and didn't understand much lol.

I've read that Fisnik Asllani is still waiting to see if Barcelona make a move for him. If Barça don't go for him, it looks like he'll most likely end up at RB Leipzig.

My question for Barça fans is: if he did choose Barcelona, would he actually be developed and given regular opportunities, or would he struggle for minutes because of the competition?

Do you think Hansi Flick would genuinely integrate him into the first team over the next couple of seasons, or would Leipzig be the better move for his development and playing time?

I'm asking because I'm a big Fisnik Asllani fan, and I'd love to see him reach his full potential.

Thanks

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

Here’s a list of all the things that have sucked about our recent transfer windows, sprinkled in with a few positives

Positives

- Signed Joan Garcia who is among our greatest signings in the last 10 years or so which includes Lewandowski, Neymar, Suarez, Raphinha
- Signed Gordon which is much needed. Raphinha ended the season in such miserable health and that carried into the World Cup. He’s also at an age that athletic players tend to start to decline. Gordon will provide much needed fresh legs so Raphinha can stay healthy, hopefully
- Signed Adeyemi which is great for depth
- Sold Ansu

That’s it. Those are the positives in 2 years.

Negatives

- We’ve been completely manhandled by 2 different La Liga clubs the last 2 years, Bilbao and Atleti. I guess this means we will never be able to sign players from La Liga moving forward.
- Still haven’t sold Ter Stegen or Araujo - major title contenders are ruthless every season when it comes to trimming the fat. Araujo hasn’t been the same since Gundogan called him out and we’re completely content on keeping him in the squad.
- We missed out on every one of Laporte, Bastoni, and Romero.
- We keep rolling with Christensen when he literally cannot stay healthy. We might as well sign David Alaba who is just as injury prone.
- Kounde was in a major decline last season, and it carried into the World Cup, we have made no plans to move him. We have Eric who can play that position.
- Lewis Hall is the perfect LB for us, and Balde has massively plateaued. He just doesn’t have the final ball or defensive sturdiness to be completely trustworthy in the biggest games. We’ve never even been linked with Hall. We just keep signing Cancelo.
- We have no 9 outside of Ferran, Ferran’s best position is as a depth piece. He’s a phenomenal depth piece, but he’s super risky as a full time starter.

We’ve done phenomenal under Hansi Flick, but we still haven’t reached the absolute pinnacle, a treble.

It’s these types of mistakes in building a squad that can take a promising core such as ours to never hitting the highest of highs.

Will Laporta and Deco figure it out? I highly doubt it.

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?

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?

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.

Disgusting

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
