dmcdad:

I can't really tell... I am not even sure it was last weekend. Maybe after the Ajax game I guess.

barackohandso:


If all had been this way you put it, would that had stopped us from being beaten ?

Awards are adjudged on character and performance. Both conditions must be met. Ever heard of a prominent cult boy in the university that was accorded a 1st class degree? No matter how intellectual he is, he'd never be awarded. That's the norm. Suarez doesn't deserve to be drawn in the list.

And on the Classico game, enough of the bantering guys. Madrid bossed us in the game, no shame about that. The victory was well deserved. Let's get past it and move on.

FC Barcelona is the best club in Europe when it comes to producing players according to French newspaper L’Équipe. The prestigious publication has highlighted a report by the CIES Football Observatory which concludes that the blaugranes have produced more players than any other club in Europe’s top five leagues. The figure stands at 43, 13 of which still currently play for FC Barcelona – evidence that La Masia brings results...

The study centres on the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish Leagues and looks at players who have spent three years at one particular club – not necessarily consecutive – between the ages of 15 and 21. Furthermore, the player has to have appeared in the league at least once since the beginning of the season, or at least once in each of the preceding two seasons with the first team of a professional club.

In the ranking FC Barcelona are followed by Manchester United (36 players), Real Madrid (34), Olympique Lyonnais (33) and Paris Saint-Germain (32)...

but it hasn't produced a solid defender yet

It just goes a long way to show how low is concentration level is!

coded01:



It did though they are retired now...


1. Carles Puyol (Year: 1995–2014, Games: 481, Goals: 18)


2. Oleguer Presas (Year: 2001 - 2008, Games: 201, Goals: 3)


3. Sergi Barjuán (Year: 1988–2002, Games: 301, Goals: 10)


Just a few names although some fans believe Bartra has come of age but it seems Lucho doesn't share such idea...


Oh! Did I miss Pique? Solid kor Liquid ni!

dmcdad:

That's it! Imagine how serious other players were... But Piqué? Whoosai!

dmcdad:

If you did mention Piqué, you would have spoilt the list.

coded01:
Can someone give me a good reason why "Koke, Godin, or Miranda" aren't in this list?

bykebyke:

OR...Why Godin didn't win the best defender in the league!!

coded01:

Nawa o, Messi is now the subject of every ridicule now. From not deserving any of his past Ballon D'ors to forming big man, from being selfish to being too short, from influencing coaches instructions to selecting players to play with, from being a sickler to not being a superman, from being invisible to not deserving golden ball . Need I say more? The latest now is that he did not pass the ball to Suares in the classico, as if we didnt watch the match. Did Suares complained about such? or the media are trying to cause disharmony in the team? Was there a clear example of when Messi had the ball with Suares free and asking for the ball? Imagine getting bashed like this everyday, how will he be motivated? Messi this, Messi that, Abegi give the guy a break jor

Seriously, if anyone would believe such, definitely not Barca fan. I don't even get time to read such.

Javier Mascherano was presented with the 2013-14 Aldo Rovira Memorial Award, given to Barcelona's player of the season, at the Camp Nou on Wednesday morning.

The winner of the prize is decided each year by a jury made up of club directors and senior figures in the Catalan media, headed by former Barça board member Josep Lluís Rovira, whose late son the award is named after.

The two previous recipients of the accolade, which was established in 2009 following Aldo Rovira's death in an accident, are Leo Messi (2012-13, 2010-11 and 2009-10) and Éric Abidal (2011-12).

"I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me for this prize", Masche stated on receiving the accolade. The Argentine went on to pledge to "try to carry on in the same vein, with the same hunger and dedication, and to always remain faithful to what this club stands for, which is a lot".

Meanwhile, club president Josep Maria Bartomeu congratulated Mascherano and stressed that the anchorman-cum-centre-back's credentials had convinced everyone on the jury.

"I have to tell you, Javier, that there was quite some debate at first, but when your name came up, the response was unanimous, so this prize is very much deserved. Barça are honoured to have a player like you".
