    E441: Barça botch Betis lead (twice) with one eye on BVB

    Send us a text

    Sam, Rik and Toni reflect on more Barcelona dropped points. Hansi Flick's side twice led at Real Betis on Saturday but conceded a penalty and a 94th minute equaliser as they failed to win for the fourth time in five LaLiga games. With Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid closing in, what's the diagnosis?

    On Flick substituting off his best players, losing his cool, seeing red... and Lamine Yamal once again emerging as Barça's shining light.

    We will be back on Patreon on Thursday after Barça's Champions League game away at Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

    Stay positive!

    E346: Barça let two goal lead slip against Celta Vigo

    Send us a text

    Barcelona surrendered a two goal lead at Balaídos to draw 2-2 against Celta Vigo as they failed to win for the second successive LaLiga game. Toni joins Sam to discuss whether there is cause for concern about Barça's recent performances.

    Coach Hansi Flick suggested Barça's players had started to think it was "too easy." Does he have a point? Have levels dropped?

    There was better news in the form of a first start in a year for Gavi in midfield, while there is also a look ahead to how Barça could line up for Tuesday's Champions League game against Brest at the Olympic Stadium.

    E419: Osasuna end Barcelona's perfect start under Flick

    Send us a text

    It's seven wins and out for Hansi Flick and Barcelona after a much-changed side went down to their first defeat of the LaLiga season on Saturday, a 4-2 loss against Osasuna at El Sadar.

    Sam, Rik and Toni debate the wholesale changes made by Flick, their merits, whether they were needed and how they may be viewed later in the season. They also ponder Wojciech Szczęsny's imminent arrival and discuss how the goalkeeper situation will pan out with Iñaki Peña.

    Next up: Young Boys in the Champions League on Tuesday. A podcast will follow for Patreons on Wednesday with a Q&A later in the week.
