    E452: Bordalás ball bursts Barça's bubble again

    Send us a text

    After back-to-back five star showings, there is nothing like a trip to Getafe to bring you back down to earth. But there are reasons not to group Barcelona's draw at the Coliseum in with their pre-Christmas slump.

    Sam and Rik, with Toni away in Lisbon, dissect more drop points in LaLiga from Barça, Lewandowski's form, Kounde's penalty that wasn't, the Bordalás-ation of Carles Aleña, the Copa del Rey draw and much more.

    E445: Barça lose top spot as bad run extended by Atlético

    Send us a text

    Sam, Rik and Toni discuss another Barcelona defeat, this time at home to Atlético Madrid on Saturday. Barça enjoyed the better chances but Alexander Sørloth's 96th minute earned Atlético a 12th straight win in all competitions and moved them ahead of Hansi Flick's side at the top of LaLiga.

    Did Barça deserve more? Brilliant Pedri. Rating the first half of the season. And more.

    ¡Stay Positive!

    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.

    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.

We talk about the Valencia floods, Olmo's goals per minute, the second-half complacency, and the XI for Champions League action against Crvena Zvezda... or Red Star Belgrade if you want.
