We really hope that's the case. Hopefully Mbappe won't have any problems that will ultimately make the playing conditions unfavorable and blunders occur. Mbappe is one of the players who is highly expected in all existing football teams, so if Real Madrid succeeds in getting Mbappe then this must be put to good use. This opportunity makes it easy for Real Madrid to win in every match they face.

Laporta's way of treating Xavi is truly disgraceful, even though sometimes this is considered normal, Xavi has made a big contribution to Barcelona at a time when things are going downhill financially. I think that even though Flick has been appointed as coach, the Blaugrana will still have difficulty competing with Real Madrid. Flick is indeed a coach who has a good reputation, but because the team's finances are not healthy, he cannot bring in the players he wants, so he is forced to use the stock of players currently available. And I hope that Barcelona will still be able to make competition in La Liga exciting again.

I do agree that Barcelona will get worse just because of that. Not because they sacked Xavi, it could always happen, sacking a manager is not a big deal and every team does it, Barcelona has done it many times before, that's not an issue at all. I think the main reason why I think Barcelona will get much worse in the future is the betrayal.

Not only Xavi made this team great, and won a title with them, and just lost a single season which Barcelona may understand it happens they have Real Madrid ahead, it happens, but also we are talking about him getting so many amazing young talents out of La Masia, for free. If that's not enough, he wanted to say he wants to resign, and they begged him to stay, and then fired him instead, that alone is disgusting display of unprofessional business.

I remember how Girona started the season, for a long time they struggled to stay in the top flight even when no one believed in them. Actually, they don't have very good players, but they have become a good team that really fights, and that's what being a team requires.
If they manage to transfer 2-3 good players for next year, I am sure we will watch a very good team. It is very difficult to be successful in the Champions League, I am sure they will be able to play much better after gaining some experience

Things are not still good and it seems Barcelona is til having financial problems even after working with Flick. Since Xavi wanted to send a huge amount of money to make huge changes in Barcelona, they got him fired and started working this Flick but since Flick joined Barcelona they still have the same problems.
Laporta tried to make some money by Nike in this team but it seems that's not enough and this team is not even close to race with teams like Real Madrid.

 

Honestly, I was not expecting Xavi to be sacked based on his performances. He really did not deserve it. Xavi's performances have not been too bad since he was signed as Barcelona's head coach. Despite Barcelona not having a great squad compared due their financial crisis, which prevented them from signing new quality players, Xavi was still able to help Barcelona win La Liga last season. Even this season, despite not winning a trophy, they still ended in a better position.

Now that they have sacked Xavi, if they do not sign more great players to strengthen the Barcelona squad, I don't think Barcelona can have better performances next season. With their current squad, it will not be easy to compete with a team like Real Madrid. Therefore, I don't see the point of changing the head coach without signing new players, as the other players are performing weakly.

What Barcelona is currently experiencing is the result of their poor financial management performance when they were previously at the peak of their glory, so far the el classico match is of course the most anticipated match by football fans not only fans of both teams, the match is fierce and also often filled with emotions and controversy of course is the reason why the match is the most interesting match in La Liga,  But as you said, of course at this time we will no longer see this happening to El Classico because Barcelona performance is currently far below Madrid, even this season we have seen 3 matches of El Classico played but none of them are interesting because of the magnitude of Madrid dominance over Barcelona.

The management of Barcelona is of course looking for a solution to immediately get out of the problem by cutting player salaries, selling star players, selling broadcasting rights and even in order to keep the finances stable at this time, Barcelona is doing a lot of free transfers to recruit players and also orbiting academy players in the squad to compete in La Liga, what Barcelona is doing is of course a short-term solution in my opinion,  So when they are no longer able to take advantage of the existing circumstances in stabilizing their finances in this way, of course they will be more depressed later.

Real Madrid's problem is on the front line, since the departure of KArim Benzema they have not found a suitable replacement and now Mbappe has come to fill this vacancy, so Mbappe is the player that Real Madrid has wanted the most for the last two seasons.
Regarding Mbappe's adaptation to Real Madrid, of course he didn't have any difficulties and it took a long time to do that. Mbappe is one of the best players in the world and he should know what he has to do.

Regarding Joselu, we all know that Joselu is not Real Madrid's main player, even last season before Mbappe arrived he also did not get a main place, so next season will be the same.
Joselu was prepared by Real Madrid to be a back-up and he was very effective as seen last season

I did not expect Xavi to be sacked all of a sudden and Barcelonas performance is not that bad. Because i know that is sacking can not be as a result of performance. If he was sacked because he spoke the truth about their finances and he would have made that statement in other for them to seek for solution and what did Xavi get in return. I noticed something with clubs that have financial problems it is always shown in their performance their efficiency will drop, since they can not even participate in the transfer window as a result of finance. And secondly I don't think anything Xavi says should lead to sacking, a coach job is not only about the players but also a representative to the entire club. And with all this situation xavi still staying means he still wants the best for the club, I wonder who will be the next coach of Barcelona and will the new coach be able to manage the club the way xavi was doing. A lot have actually happened this period.

It would be a shame if Barcelona continues to slump due to failing to get out of the difficult situation they are currently in, La Liga will become even more boring because there are no teams to compete with Real Madrid in the competition for the title. Barcelona must find a way to maintain its long standing rivalry with Real Madrid.
The current situation is making La Liga increasingly boring, even though Girona and Atletico are able to compete with Real Madrid, the emotional level that occurs in El Clasico cannot be achieved by any team. I really hope that Barcelona will soon get out of the difficulties they are currently facing, without Barcelona in the trophy competition it will make La Liga even more boring.

We haven't really seen any problems in Real Madrid's attack, so Mbappe will be just another player for Ancelotti to rely on in attack. This could make it even more difficult for Joselu to get game time, but that is not something Anceloti will be worried about. Mbappe quickly adapted when he moved from Monaco to PSG, perhaps a transfer to Real Madrid will happen just as easily for him, especially since he really wanted it.

With the squad Real Madrid is still retaining, it is a fact that they will still be the best in counter attack especially when it comes to the champions league competition. Ancelotti has held a very big role coaching the big team Real Madrid and it will continue to favour them for years to come even when he retires now. Ancelotti is a very tactical coach and that can be seen from his success so far he has attained with the team. Rotating and changing players position will still be for the best of the club and i trust in his ability to do the best for the club.


The hypes and much anticipation surrounding the name Mbappe has made it a must for him to be at his best in the club. Much is expected from him and he should give the best from his first season in the club. I don’t see Mbappe as a player that will not be able to adapt to the club just after joining the club, I feel he can play in every situation and joining and playing for Mbappe will be an easy one for him and give quick result from the first season with them.

Lately, we definitely feel like time is going by so fast and I think this is an event that cannot be explained by human reason, but in the end I am very happy to see the competition rolling back later.

Mbappe's debut at Real Madrid is the moment most awaited by all Whites fans, including other football fans because this star player has been phenomenal, going through the transfer phase for years before it was officially announced some time ago. But we will just see the introduction at the Santiago Bernabeu on July 16 and the stadium will definitely be filled with fans who come. It will be another historic day after Cristiano was introduced in 2009 by Real Madrid which was also attended by tens of thousands of fans. Regarding position, Mbappe is very happy to be placed anywhere and as long as that is what the team needs to win, I don't think it's a problem.

Meanwhile, Bellingham will indeed return to his natural position as a midfielder but still in a more attacking role because after all, Ancelotti has his own strategy to maximize the abilities of his team and that is something that other coaches rarely have. So that's not a problem either because all the players are used to rotation.

It is not about Real Madrid allowing Barcelona to win the league next season. Madrid don't have Monopoly over the league, the season before last Xavi won the league with Barcelona, so if they are going to put their priorities right they can compete for the league, all they have to do is keep winning their matches and let things play out for them. If there is a way for the club to generate money and sign players let them do it. Barcelona is a big and historic club and many players are willing to go play there. Many of them are willing to play not just because of money but for the fact that Barcelona is their childhood dream club and if the opportunity comes they are willing to play there. The club just have to show them that the are ambitious and they still have big dreams. Though I'm not too happy that the club decided to let Xavi go, but if their objective and that of Xavi is no longer the same I think it's best they let him go. For a team to be successful the management and the coaching staff ideologies has to align, if they don't the there will be trouble in the team and the won't move forward and that will be very bad.

They don't act maturely like leaders of a big name club, when someone says something that is true they don't like it and it leads to their dismissal which they have no control over. They should be able to introspect themselves more, especially those who say that this is one of the players who brought Barcelona to the peak of its glory days, so I agree with you that Xavi Hernandez is not appreciated here.
I'm sure Xavi said something that made them unhappy for clear reasons, one of which was his love for this team, because he was once part of it and could even be said to be a legend. However, this is indeed out of control, because the risk will always be there even if what is said is the right thing.
This reminds me of Ronaldo at Manchester United, even though the way he did it was wrong, but I think there is truth in what he also conveyed about Manchester United's current situation and this is proven by the poor performance they are showing.

I'm sure Ancelotti has a formula that he will formulate for the squad he has now, some changes I think will happen, especially when they attack. Some players may return to their original positions and there may be players who he will rotate, but one thing that is certain is that he will continue to apply and maximize the style of play where when they make quick counter attacks, it is a weapon for Real Madrid which reaches Currently in my opinion they are the club holding the best fast counter attacks.

Mbappe himself will get a lot of attention when he first plays with Real Madrid, and I'm sure Ancelotti will maximize the new ammunition he now has in Mbappe. Hopefully Mbappe can adapt very quickly so he can play to the best of his ability. Because Real Madrid will definitely set high targets, one of which is defending the Champions League title.

Maybe Ancelotti will not make changes to the scheme, only Rodrygo will be sacrificed for Mbappe. While Belllingham will continue to carry out his duties like this season. The arrival of Mbappe will certainly add amazing strength and many people who want to look forward to the breakthrough. Mbappe also had to throw away his selfish nature when he was with PSG because Madrid would not treat anyone special.

Barcelona's current situation is really on the edge, because they have problems that are very difficult to solve easily. What you say is correct, even though they are currently experiencing serious problems, they are still able to be in second place in La Liga and that shows that they still have strong performance. with these limited players, I think Flick must continue to hone the players he has, even though his players have not shown extraordinary performance, there is no other way if he cannot recruit new players, he must be able to make the existing players the best in Barcelona at the moment. although I think it is unlikely that they can compete well against Real Madrid, but that is normal because they are not doing well at the moment.

Flick will definitely do his best for his team so they can compete well next season. no one knows what will happen next season, maybe Flick can make Barcelona strong even with the minimum number of players, but to dominate La Liga I'm not sure. but what Flick has to do is he can make Barcelona return to its glory days even though it is difficult.

The entire situation is ridiculous. Xavi is being disrespected absolutely. Knowing the club was on financial life support, the guy sought to go out like a champ. They had to waterboard him almost to get him to stay! Now they drop him because he wouldn't shut up about the money problems? Mann, come on

Laporta wishes to rebuild the team. Yeah, on top of Xavi's reputation he just buried. He muzzles the one individual who is saying the truth rather than cleaning up the dang mess. That coward. It's not right to treat a Barcelona legend. I'm fired up, man. Disgusted

By the way, the 24/25 season is going to be underway on August 18. Time flies and the remaining 2 months would also pass in the blink of an eye. 

I'm also looking forward to watching Mbappe wearing Real Madrid shirt like everybody else. Another thing I'm curious about is what kind of a formation Ancelotti will prefer as of this transfer. Mbappe can be very beneficial no matter he plays on the left wing or at the centre. Vinicius Junior and him both can play in the same positions. Ancelotti can try both ways to see which one is better for the team.

And when it comes to Bellingham... Maybe after this transfer we might see him returning to his old position, CM. However he would still continue to playing like AM by supporting the attacks all the time.
