Subsequent reports suggest no thaw in relations with the board or Laporta. But it is good that he is willing to return in the future.

Feel like this is a very superficial from Flick. There should be some visible progress in defensive positioning after a pre-season. Or the team should be able to keep possession for longer sequences.

They look more like a Bundesliga team now.

Send them an email? Maybe they will listen to an expert.

I like the idea of preserving culture, but with sounds. The same exercise 50 years later would be very different.

Does anyone track a similar stat for the pass receiver, how good/bad they are at converting a received pass into a higher quality chance.

It was offside, so ref cancelled the pk and didn't even hand out a yellow.

I think a little bit of chaos is good and entertaining for us fans. Set piece football is ugly, even if it is effective. I do expect Gavi and Fermín to become more cautious on the ball with experience.

I would be eager to see them against a few possession teams too. Pressure in the middle of the pitch, and space for Fermín/Gavi to attack after turnovers, similar to the second goal against Olympiakos.

Defensive beasts + impressive goals, sign me up.
