Havent read that much about it, but if I understand correctly then your angle (Flob and Claude) is slightly weird since the crimes Bartomeu has done were against the club.

It’s probably indicative of more systemic corruption at the club including, for example, the unaccounted for payments to Neymar’s family. This is a corrupt enterprise

10 years too late. Fuck them.

Barcelona are trying to overcome a 2-0 semi final first leg deficit and what does Koeman do? Field three centre backs, two full backs and Busquets in CM 😆

Lol. Need to see this. Biscuits is done

Equalised at the very last minute. Annoying

And 3-0. Didn't think this Barcelona team had it in them.

How crazy is this. Because the 2020 Copa Del Rey was delayed...

April 3: 2020 Copa del Rey Final: Athletic vs Real Sociedad

April 17: 2021 Copa del Rey Final: Athletic ve Barca.

Suarez with a sublime finish using the outside of his boot to curl round Courtois. 1-0. In the derby

A goal by the player RM fans hates the most assisted by a player they let go. Must be nice.

Also he comes from a family which is pretty much Real Madrid royalty.

I’m not sure what Zidane is doing with this team. It feels like a wait for Mbappé / Haaland project

I think he will leave in a not too distant future and leave the rebuilding job to someone else.

His Madrid team has run its course.

I wonder what Arsenal fans who say no controversial calls outside Premier League would say about that handball call. Clearly the ball hit the player below the sleeve but was unintentional.

Look around the premier league discussion.

Oblak is a ridiculous goalkeeper. His shot stopping ability is unparalleled

Saying that the refereeing is better in other leagues =/= saying that there are no controversial decisions in other leagues. The controversy you mentioned doesn't change the former and like I said, nobody has claimed the latter.

In any case these are subjective judgments. What is the basis for saying the refereeing is better in one league or the other? Is it incidence of poor calls, ratio of poor calls / good calls, amount of controversy thereof generated?
