The future of the game

The game is in good hands

El fin de una epoca

Hoy se acaban las excusas para el F.C. Barcelona, una plantilla millonaria con nombres de primer nivel que quedaron completamente humillados ante una exhibición de fútbol total del Bayern Munich. Para muchos esta era una derrota que se veía venir por el momentum de ambos equipos, por un lado llegaba un equipo con una solidez...

A dark future ahead

The situation with F.C. Barcelona is critical as I write this. Many may not agree, but since Ernesto Valverde was appointed manager the quality of the team has decreased dramatically.
