The Barca Breakdown discussed the victory at the 3-1 Camp Nou against Celta Vigo. With Busquets out on a yellow card, Nico and Pedri injured, Xavi decided to not start our only midfielder Puig. Instead he opted for a 4 man attacking front with Ferran, Aubameyang, Dembele, and Depay, leaving Frenkie and Gavi to cover the midfield. The line-up made Adam and Yusef nervous as not having Busquets was bad, but not having 3 midfielders sounded even worse. It is interesting to note even though this was a difficult situation, Xavi still didn't decide to start Puig. This must say something regarding Xavi's trust in the midfielder. Is it time for Puig to make his leave and gain experience elsewhere?    Regardless, Barca started the first half a bit shaky as the team had to adjust with a missing midfielder. For the first 20 minutes Celta made some good attempts at goal, however they couldn't seem to finish. Once Barca adjusted, Dembele put on his jet engine boots and was flying around the pitch. He was able to drive down the right flank and dribble the ball into the right side of the box. He made a beautifully placed pass to the middle of the box where Depay was waiting. Depay shot immediately and scored the opening goal at 30'. Before the end of the first half Jordi Alba makes an over the top pass down to Depay on the left wing. Depay kicks the ball to the middle and the Celta defender is not able to control it. Aubameyang sneaks in and kicks the ball into the back of the net. Half time ends with Barca up 2-0.    Barca continued to press in the second half. At the 48' Auba makes a pass to Dembele. Dembele runs down the right flank with Auba running through the middle. Dembele gets the ball back to Auba who one touches the ball to take a 3-0 lead. Not 2 minutes later, Ter Stegen makes a terrible pass to Araujo. It was intercepted and Celta Vigo scored. Celta dropped to 10 min due to a bad foul at the top of the box. Not soon after Araujo Clashes heads with Gavi and is on the floor for several minutes. Reports are he was concussed and is recovering now and will be good. The last notable comment is that Frenkie De Jong, Eric Garcia, and Jordi Alba will all miss the next game against Getafe due to yellow card accumulation.   Barca Look to take on Getafe in Madrid this Sunday where Yusef and Adam will be live at the game! Forca Barca 

El técnico azulgrana se ha mostrado resignado tras la victoria de su equipo ante el Celta y ha comentado que Araujo está fuera de peligro. "Está consciente", ha dicho.

The Barca Breakdown discussed the victory in Seville against Real Betis. This was an important game as a victory here was going to solidify Barca's placement in the Champions League.    As the game was highly anticipated due to its importance, it left Barca fans biting their fingertips. The first half seemed totally disconnected and disorganized with Betis running around the Barca midfield. Despite a shaky half, Barca were able to hold betis off from scoring,    The second half was not much different in the first 15-20 minutes. However, Xavi replaced the whole attacking front and placed in Fati, Traore, Aubameyang. Not soon after FATIMANIA struck! Fati receives the ball at the top of the box. Quickly three defenders step in front of him and he fires the ball to the left side and the goalie had no chance. The ball goes in and Barca scores the opening goal.    Unfortunately, Real Betis' Bartra scored a header when he received the ball from a free kick. The game was even and the hopes of winning three points declined. There was not much potential; however in the 90 +4' Dani Alves crossed the ball to Jordi Alba. Alba immediately strikes the ball right over top of the goalie and the game is over! Barca Secured 3 points and their placement in the Champions League. Additionally, this gives more hope to the possibility of retaining 2nd place which would earn them 6 Million Euros for their admission in the Supercopa.    There is still much work to do as many problems have been seen over the last few weeks. We at least get to celebrate what we have now to hold onto. 

Hernán Pereyra analiza los partidos de la reclasificación en el torneo mexicano, un formato que no favorece pero si acepta que le pone más drama, y afirma que Cruz Azul, Monterrey, Puebla y Chivas son los favoritos para pasar a la siguiente fase, aunque no descartó sorpresas. Además alabó las expresiones de Xavi sobre la realidad del Barcelona frente al Real Madrid, comenta otras novedades del deporte y responde mensajes de sus seguidores.

The Barca Breakdown discussed the upcoming match Real Betis in Seville. There is a lot to be won if Barca can defeat Betis. Not only are Betis 3 points behind Atletico Madrid for the 5th spot in the table, but Sevilla are only 2 points behind Barca fighting for the second place spot. With Real Madrid already securing the title, Barca need this win in hopes to maintain their Supercopa chances. However, in the last meeting Barca were defeated at the Camp Nou 0-1 with Juanmi scoring. It is important to remember this game was Xavi's fourth game after becoming the Manager and the team was struggling. That game Barca were playing Abde, Jutgla, and Depay upfront with Busquets, Nico, and Gavi. This was a less than ideal line-up and things really changed when Barca acquired Aubameyang, Traore, and Ferran Torres. There was also the drama of Ousmane Dembele who was not getting play time due to the contract negotiations. Now the Barca team is different and a new story can be written. The recent performances however have really seen Barca struggle against sub tier teams. Alongside the injuries to Pique and Pedri, Frenkie De Jong has also been struggling in the midfield and his frustration is clear. To be fair, there is a lot happening and his performances may be due to the other surrounding issues limiting his abilities. Lastly, with the return of Ansu Fati, it could be what Barca need if they are struggling in the second half. It is unlikely that Xavi will start the youngster as he is just getting back from his injuries and it would be unwise to rerisk injury. 

The Karim rises to the top yet again in a preposterous, ridiculous, spectacular comeback in the dying moments against Manchester City that continues one of the greatest and strangest Champions League journeys of all time, started by one of Real's best young players, and finished by one of their oldest (1:46). Also, Barcelona get ready for their weekend clash at Real Betis (55:36), and Mark previews the Madrid derby at the Wanda (1:00:17).

Oriol Romeu is a midfielder with such game intelligence that he has adapted to playing a pivotal role under several Southampton managers. Key to this success is his ability to seek out critique in order to improve his game, even contacting Barcelona legend Xavi Hernandez for pointers. Xavi said his famously consistent level of performance was rooted in his stubborn refusal to give the ball away.Also in part one, you'll hear Oriol's ultimate five-a-side team picked from the clubs he's played for – Barca, Chelsea, Valencia, Stuttgart and Southampton. He barely hesitated in rhyming his selections off.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Real Madrid has done it. As we explain in this episode of the Y Nada Mas podcast, Real Madrid's 35th LaLiga title, didn't really come down to if they were going to win the title but when. Sevilla who had been chasing Real Madrid all season began to come apart as the season progressed. Barcelona, who was enjoying a good run of form under Xavi and had beaten Real Madrid 4-0 in El Clásico began to lose steam and also lose points. The consistency of Real Madrid after the loss to Barcelona and the loss of form of their direct rivals allowed Real Madrid to claim the LaLiga title with 4 games left in their domestic season. However, while Madridistas are no doubt elated by the 35th title win for Los Blancos, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final versus Manchester City looms large. The first leg gave football fans a seven-goal thriller that has become an instant classic. Both teams were able to score but both teams made grave mistakes. Manchester City came away with a one-goal advantage winning the game 4-3 at the Etihad but this is a Real Madrid that has been used to having their backs against the wall this season and is also used to the pressure and anxiety of Champions League nights. Manchester City will also now have to face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu…which is without a doubt a place where Los Blancos seem to conjure up magic even when defeat looks certain. Will Real Madrid send the Citizens home? It will be difficult but not impossible. We feel that despite the 1-goal disadvantage…Real Madrid might be the team with the better chances to win. And not because they are necessarily the better football team but because this team seems to snatch wins from the jaws of defeat consistently and as Luka Modric says…"never gives up".

Los expertos de Fuera de Juego analizan la victoria del equipo de Xavi en el Camp Nou frente al cuadro de Javier Aguirre.

The Barca Breakdown discussed 3 points that were secured in match day 34 against Mallorca at the Camp Nou. With Dembele feeling under the weather, Xavi chose to start Depay on the left and moved Ferran Torres to the right wing. Of course, Pedri is out so Gavi started alongside Frenkie and Busi. In the back line, Pique started with Ronald Araujo, Jordi Alba, and Dani Alves.    The first half was pretty lackluster and disorganized. A few breaks from Mallorca could have easily been scored, but their team was not clinical. It didn't seem too promising until Jordi Alba placed a ball over the top for Memphis Depay. He was able to control the ball and score to take Barca 1-0. The half ended with much improvement to be desired.    In the second half Barca really turned up the tempo, constantly attacking Mallorca. In the 54' Ferran Torres' shot gets blocked and Busquets picks up the ball. He shoots off his left foot into the right corner of the net and Barca are up 2-0. Fati and Dembele are subbed on for Aubameyang and Ferran Torres. Immediately, Barca shut down. Mallorca continues to attack on counters, and eventually earn a free kick. The ball goes over the top of the Barca line and straight at an open Raillo. The ball deflects off his knee and makes it past Stegen... 2-1. The match ends with Barca hanging on by a thread to their 3 points.    Luckily, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla dropped points this week. Barca look to take on Real Betis on Saturday.

A few weeks ago on Ep. 57 of the podcast, we were so angry at the 0-4 loss to Barcelona during El Clásico that we thought Real Madrid's season was slowly unraveling. We had just been humiliated once again by Barcelona, our most hated rival. It was a tough loss to swallow. It was yet another humiliation at the hands of Barcelona but this loss stung a bit more since it was once again at the Santiago Bernabeu but also because it was against a Barcelona that was and is rebuilding. But oh how quickly the tables turn in football. How quickly the narrative shifts. Since Real Madrid's loss to Barcelona Real Madrid has beaten Celta Vigo, Getafe, Sevilla, and Osasuna in La Liga and in the UCL played a masterful game at Stamford Bridge to defeat Chelsea in the 1st leg and then mounted an epic comeback once again in the 2nd leg to defeat Chelsea 5-4 on aggregate after Chelsea went 3-0 up at the Bernabeu. In La Lige, Sevilla also went 2-0 up in the Sanchez Pizjuan only for Real Madrid to once again mount a comeback and win the match 3-2. And while Real Madrid was calling its way back from defeat in multiple games, Barcelona and the "Xavineta" began to flounder. Xavi & Co. crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt and then lost important matches against Cádiz and Rayo Vallecano that have now left Real Madrid 1-point away from their 35th La Liga title. In this episode, we discuss Real Madrid's comebacks, their recent wins in La Liga, the importance of Valverde, the love/hate relationship Madridistas seem to have with Carlo Ancelotti, the upcoming match with Manchester City, transfer rumors, and more. We also discuss that unlike Barcelona's narrative about "style" and "DNA"...Real Madrid's "DNA" is less about style and more about winning. That this team's legacy is that its players put the team above everything else and understand that this team is about winning, first and foremost.

The Barca Breakdown discussed the atrocious loss at the Camp Nou against Rayo Vallecano. For the first time in history, Rayo has defeated FC Barcelona 2 times in a season. Xavi deployed the usual starters excluding Pedri due to injury. To think the team that defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu 0-4, has just lost 3 consecutive games at home. After losing to Frankfurt, Cadiz, and now Rayo, Barcelona find themselves at a strong potential to lose their top four standing.    Heading into the first half Barca were terrible. Passing was slow, off target, and poor in transition. Right at the 6' Rayo's Garcia receives the ball on where there are no players but a distant Dest. He takes a quick shot at Stegen;s near post and scores. Stegen did an awful job and that was Rayo's first and only shot in 90+ minutes. Barca could not recover for 113 minutes and score an equalizer.    The only good players on the pitch were Gavi and Dembele. Who were close to scoring but could not finish. It seems this is the story of Barca in their recent matches. Their play is slow and predictable with possession for possession's sake. It resembled Koeman right before he got sacked. Barca only attempted offensive play with crosses that lacked any potential.    There is much to say that the players looked fatigued and uninspired. Clearly underperforming; however, Xavi has a lot to do tactically to bring the team back into form to maintain a possible Champions League spot. 

Real Madrid and Barcelona took care of business over the week in La Liga, and the boys are here for it.
