They need more than extra work, they need to work as a team , improve communication between each others and play according to scripts...
I don't how the word "disgrace" cameout  but what are they suppose to do... the did had been done they need to find a way out of it and that's what they are doing. Besides, if Barcelona decides to sit and watch without taking any action, then we will still have people blaming them for not doing anything  to get out of their mess which  means you can satisfy people actually 

No doubt how loyal decision Luka Modric for Real Madrid, since firs time arrived at Bernabeu and no get regular position but he keeps waiting and more patience with the moment become the key players and finally success won many UEFA Champion League trophies. Indeed with Luka Modric have over age, Real Madrid keep him one year contract extend although can't guarantee become regular position looking how many young talented on Real Madrid midfielder from Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Valverde and Tchouameni.

I believe with Madrid's management keep extend him one year contract is very good decision, Madrid need senior players would be guide for young players and this season have more dominance exactly after leaving by Toni Kroos. Seems interested with Luka Modric fight won't retired regarding some players on his age almost over for playing with the top European team.

Barcelona players really have to put in extra work to compete with real Madrid, just an hour ago the just comfirm Pau Víctor agreement with Girona for five years contract, I so a comment in twitter saying
I think what they are doing is actually what they can afford because of financial issues, I still don't blame them because they can't because of debts decide to sit back, if coach can apply his wisdom the can do it, already few among them are extra good.

Real Madrid are no longer on the phase with Barcelona, alot have changed and watching them suffering in all angles. Hansi Flick is appointed as the new headcoach of Barcelona and we should prepare for the new management of the new coach. Barcelona have been going through alot lately with their static poor performance in La Liga and other major tournaments. The Blaugrana needs to rise back to their heels if and the only way to do that is simply making pushing efforts for improvement and signing new players.

Barcelona and Girona FC have reached an agreement for Pau Víctor to remain at the former until 30 June 2029.


Pau Víctor was just six when he started playing at Junior FC. In his teens he joined Sabadell and three years later was playing U19 football for Girona, and after two years of that started playing for the Girona reserves.

He was soon knocking on the senior team's door, training with them regularly and playing eight Second Division fixtures in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons.

In 2022/23 he was loaned back to CE Sabadell, playing 36 games, scoring 7 goals and giving 6 assists. He continued to develop as a footballer at Barça Atlètic in 2023/24, officially on loan from Girona, and after a fine season FC Barcelona has secured his services for another campaign.

I didn't see any Barcelona players who could be deployed to compete with Real Madrid next season, because I didn't see any Barcelona players capable of challenging Real Madrid in the Champions League. But I am hearing that Barcelona are interested in Williams athletic player, and I am sure he will definitely help the team if they get the opportunity to buy him. That is when I can say Barcelona will be more stronger next season because he is very skillful and talented, and everyone likes him. He performed very well in the Euro with Yamal, which is why Barcelona are interested in him, and I am sure the boy will like to sign for Barcelona because is very interested with Barcelona since Yamal is in the club and there friends. Barcelona will do their hardest to acquire the player, despite financial constraints. The new coach will do all possible to acquire a new player before the season begins. I think Anso Fati is already injured, and there is a need for fresh, talented players to replace them. Barcelona's dilemma is massive, but I am confident that they will eventually overcome it because Barcelona is a major club.

I agree with you that Luka Modric loves the club Real Madrid. For this reason he is sign a new contract with Real Madrid. At this moment, I think real madrid club needs an experienced player like Luka Modrich. Because Real madrid squad have lack of experienced player right now. Real madrid have a lot of talented player there is no doubt. But in Madrid squade there is no experienced player.

In midfield, Madrid have some talented player like Bellingham, Camavinga, Valverde and Tchouameni. Every player are very talend. But they are not experienced like Modrich or Toni Kross. Thoug Toni Kross is decide to retirement, so now Madrid now needs Luka Modrich. If Toni Kross did not the decision to retirement, I think then Madrid management will  not sign a new contract with Modric. However, Luka Modric is a living-legend of Madrid team. With the help of Ancelotti and Modric, Madrid's midfield will play more better in the next season.

I totally agree that Luka Modric loves Real Madrid so much. He agreed to play for just one more year which shows how much he cares about club. Modric is very important to team especially since some other midfielders left. He is experienced and skilled and that will help team stay strong. Real Madrid has great team with no big weaknesses so they should have another amazing season. They won big titles last season and I think they can do it again. I am excited for the new season.

Barcelona actually have a good squad that can compete with Real Madrid but we are talking about here is their plan B when plan A fails. When their major players go in injury especially long injuries, don’t you think of the depth it’ll affect the whole club’s performance. It could happen at the middle of the season and in crucial matches they need to win in order to maintain a good position on the table for the fight of the league title or in other competitions they will be participating it. This financial crisis is taking too long than expected and it’ll affect every coach that comes to manage team unless their plan A doesn’t fail and players are injury free throughout the season.

When you have over half a billion dollars in debt, making salary cuts is not enough at all. That is why I support the idea of selling Yamal, that dude would be able to pay off 20% of their debt all by himself, maybe even as much as 25%, then that would be a huge situation. If they do that, then they open the doors for a lot of improvement for the team, and could do a lot better.

I disagree that they should keep on making salary cuts, that's just not going to end up with anything good. If they sell Yamal for 100-130 range, maybe even more, and if they sell De Jong for 70 range, we are talking about 200 million give or take just there alone, with one more player they have like half of their debt gone, that's it, three players sold. If a club such as Barcelona can't end up replacing these three players, I am sorry but they do not deserve to be good neither, they are just not that good.

I think we should be considering how they could just sell these players, spend less than half, even bring people from youth, and keep the money. Look at how little they pay for Ilkay, and Lewandowski, these guys came in for free, and I think they can find replacements like that for these players too.

Seeing the nominal transfer that can be obtained is only a little even indeed not enough to make Barcelona's financial condition better because Sergi Roberto will also now leave on a free transfer after Barcelona did not extend their contract.
Honestly, this is still quite small and there must be some additional funds if they really want to be more free in finding new players because if you look at the current conditions it seems that they are still quite passive even though they are rumored with several players but for now they have only made additions from their young players who were appointed to the senior team at Barcelona.

There are some great players that some clubs are interested in actually owned by Barcelona but they are too dear it seems and prefer them to live until the end of their contracts and will leave for free just like some players like Busquets last season and Sergi Roberto this season.

Nico Williams and Dani Olmo, who were one of the biggest rumors for Barcelona, are also uncertain at the moment even though the fans have tried their best with fundraising but it seems that this is still not realized.

Barcelona is facing a very difficult situation right now and with the fact that Flick is not making new signings even makes it further complicated for the team. It's not like Barcelona don't have a nice squad to compete against Real Madrid, if they don't and think they would not have even ended in the second place last season. For now, due to financial constraints Barcelona may not be able to meet up signing high profile players so it's obvious Flick have to manage the ones available a create a better team but it will require a lot of hard work and concentration to be able to achieve that because since the Madrid team have even strengthened the team more it will be difficult for Barcelona to match up with Real Madrid because Real Madrid have got better financial system and better squad so they lack nothing but Barcelona should just make sure that Real Madrid don't give them much gap as they did last season so that if Madrid makes any slight mistakes Barcelona can take advantage of the opportunity. At least if Barcelona wins the LA Liga it will create some financial aid to the team to be able to exploit more in the upcoming seasons.
            Even if Flick is targeting on getting new players to the team, can the club afford those players? Nico William was a player that performed very well in the just ended UEFA EURO tournament and due to his performance in the competition has further increased his market value so I don't think Barcelona will be able to meet up his transfer conditions. Nico William might even decide to move to Arsenal since Arsenal is also interested in the France International and since he is currently playing for Athletic Bilbao which is also in Span he can consider moving out of Spain to England should Arsenal meet his transfer requirements.

Luka Modric loves Real Madrid so much that Real Madrid offered him just one season at this stage of his career but he accepted the offer. Any other player in his place might not have extended his contract with the club for just one season at all. 

Luka Modric is still a very important player for Real Madrid because several midfielders of Real Madrid have left the club this season so if Luka Modric leaves Real Madrid as well then Real Madrid's midfield will be very weak. As every position of Real Madrid is very strong now, a great season is definitely waiting for Real Madrid. Last season Real Madrid won the Champions League trophy and they won the La Liga title even though they lacked a quality finisher for the entire season but they will not lack anything in the upcoming season. 
Best wishes for the season ahead.

Madrid attack line is currently very complex with the arrival of Mbappe and Endrick, apart from strengthening the attack line, of course at this time Madrid must also focus on getting players who play as midfielders and defenders after Kross retired while Nacho left for the Arab League, the players you Mention (Yoro and also Alphonso Davies), has failed to be recruited at this time after Manchester United managed to beat the offer made by Madrid to Lille, while Alphonso Davies seems impossible to get at this time because Munich has committed for still keep him until the end of his contract and is ready to lose him for free later, So far it is reported that madrid is targeting Saliba from Arsenal, but as we know so far, Saliba still has a contract that he must respect at Arsenal, but the arrival of Calafiori to Arsenal now will probably make Arsenal think twice about retaining Saliba.

Madrid is a team that has quite good squad at the moment with many stars, but their finances are still very stable after the Madrid management was able to manage their finances well and provide salaries in accordance with the player contribution to Madrid, Previously, Mbappe was the player with the highest salary in Ligue 1 but he was willing to cut his salary just to join Madrid.

I agree with you. Even if Madrid make their bench players a new team, they will still be able to compete in the top 10 of La Liga. Real Madrid really has an extraordinary squad this season. The depth of their squad is really very good. I think Real Madrid will be champions again this season. I think Barcelona still has a chance to compete with Real Madrid. It will still be like you said if several key players are injured then it will really affect the team's play as a whole. Barcelona does not have as good squad depth as Real Madrid.

But is there a player who can replace De Jong's role at Barcelona? If the very high salary is an obstacle for Barcelona, ​​of course there are many players who have the label of players with other large salaries, De Jong is a versatile player and is able to become Andrés Iniesta's successor, so it's natural that Barcelona still needs his role even though Barcelona has to provide a salary. which is big, at least it can be a balance for the club in competing at the top of La Liga, because every season the workforce gets crazier at the top.

It's not a wise move for Barcelona to sell or loan him because he's a decent player and his salary isn't really big, since Barcelona is a poor team, it's better for them to retain Araujo. Even Araujo is injured, Barcelona can replace him with another Araujo, so technically Barcelona didn't lost Araujo.

It means Real Madrid is better than Barcelona, Real Madrid can find the best player without need to spend too much, while Barcelona is stupid enough forcing to retain De Jong even though they face financial difficulty.

But with that, of course it is proof that Real Madrid has good management. Even though Real Madrid has many star players who are still very productive, but Real Madrid can manage player salaries in a good way. Unlike Barcelona, ​​which has financial difficulties but still insists on having players with high salary demands and of course, that is a very inappropriate method.

Unless, with the expensive salaries that Barcelona provides and the players are able to make Barcelona win trophies and if that happens, then of course it is still mutually beneficial. But if what happens in reality is like that, then of course Barcelona doesn't have good management, so it might be natural that they are having difficulty overcoming financial problems so far.

Man, Araújo lives in terrible conditions. The guy is a beast on defence, and Barcelona's going to suffer greatly, particularly given the season is just starting. Their financial situation was already tight, so his injury throws still another curve in the road. Selling him might have been on the agenda earlier, but just today it's a harder call. Barcelona is thus in a serious bind. They have to find a means of bolstering the defence, perhaps investigate some loan possibilities or something. Though it will sting, losing Araújo presents an opportunity for someone else to take front stage. Regarding Araújo, he's a fighter even though this sucks. Fans must stand behind him and show him some love. That sort of stuff can enable a man go through a difficult period and return stronger

Anytime I hear that Barcelona is broke and has some financial challenges which is true but I think that used to be in the past. They announced about their revenue generated some months back and that sum of money was huge. Now imagine how much they would have made over the past months and one weeks. I just feel like this financial challenges are just talk of them to have a pity card when they are in tough situation or condition they can't cope with.

It was the same Laporta that was trying to get Mbape to Barcelona and we're crying on the timeline how Real Madrid is taking all good players to their side but the same man is broke to afford good players, that's a big lie I will never accept unless if there reports to show the fans about the debts and of course the revenue generated.
