he hasnt said no. thats the thing. its suggested its halted because of barcas need to get back to 1:1 rule which isnt done yet aswell. but ur right the player is deciding to stay or go. if it wasnt then he would already have said im staying and he hasnt said that either. its still a toss up. i think the poor guy is being pressured to stay from his family. his dream has al´ways been barca and barca have apparently said its this season or none. they arent comming back for him at twice the price next season.

@@silverophelian877 I mean xavi did deserve the boot from managerial spot but I can agree that the club handled it quite wrong. especially we went from best defensive side to the worst between 2 seasons with the same players no matter what. xavi is way way to inexperienced as a manager and hopefully can comeback in the future with more experience and more titles under his belt. he was to overhyped sadly and it got to him. but regarding buying and selling players. sure its kinda weird buying one season then trying to sell on next isnt the correct but its more of a barcelona is open but not necessarily pushing for it. financially barca is in a much better place than 2-3 years ago when laporta came in and i would not think anyone else wouldve done a better job than him. like the saying “ mes que un club” more than a club, laporta is just doing whats the best for the club and hes trying to fix the mess that bartomeu caused. overall it is what it is and deal with it. without laporta this club wouldve been in the shits like it or not

Bartomae destroyed Barca a lot and Laporta is just saving the club, the fact that the fans have this idea that Barca should be competing with the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid, Man City is just ridiculous
@BC-mj7gj that's true about roanldinho & messi. How do you repair the damage that had been done? I'm not sure anyone can fix barca's current problems. They need to rely on the academy and stop worrying about players like nico williams. Just build the team around yamal. Same formula for messi
@@PUREtrollin exactly that is what they are trying to do. Missing on Nico isn’t a big deal, he has had a good euro just like most of Spanish players and the way this pundits makes it look like is silly
You know Haaland has become a generational player because trolls are now looking for any reason to try and mock him. And the whole narrative that he doesn’t show up against big teams is false. Haaland has 15 goals and 8 assists in 22 career matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Not to mention scoring against the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Sevilla, Besiktas, Lazio, and Napoli. Because Haaland has scored against virtually every other top opposition aside from Madrid he has ever faced in his career. This whole myth that he doesn’t show up against top teams is nonsense and based on a ridiculously small sample size that people have run with.
@@Photosoflife lots of stats with no context, its not just about scoring goals its scoring when it matters and in the biggest games, every final city played he was complete rubbish? last season he pretty much horrible every big game aswell
@@dalymufc "Stats with no context.” Aside from Mbappe, no other player in the world at the very elite level is putting up Haaland’s numbers. The lengths you are going to to try and downplay Haaland is comical. Likewise, Haaland already has the 12th most goals in Champions League knockout round history at only 24. Already ahead of the likes of all time greats like Mane, Suarez, Neymar, Henry, Kaka, Salah, Eto’o, Torres, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Del Piero, Van Persie, Morientes, etc. Haaland is just getting started.
Guys Barcelona is not going to tell everybody that they are broke because it is bad for business. No beat company will invest in a broke club and players will wonder if they will get paid if they sign there. It's called marketing.
@himori1982 It’s preseason. These results don’t matter. It’s a combination of academy players, fringe players, players about to get sold/loaned, starters getting their fitness back, massive amounts of substitutions, and players playing with other players they aren’t accustomed to. People are reading far too much into these results.

zo williams has stated he is staying? plz show me that news. its on the hands of the player. barca can afford it. we will be back at 1:1 this or next season at lastestr most likely this. then what will be ur sad fuckers reasoning? hmm?
Both teams had most of the positions filled by youngsters. The fact citys youngsters did dominate possession and gave barcas players problems shows how far their academy has come as Barca are the gold standard of academies in Spain and city matched them pound for pound. But I will say Barca were lucky, Haalands goal went clearly over the line and Barcas second goal was offside but its a friendly so its not too important.
@dalymufc If you actually watched the game you’d know Haaland did score. There was just no VAR at the match to correctly award his goal. Likewise, Haaland has 15 goals and 8 assists in 22 career matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Not to mention scoring against the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Sevilla, Besiktas, Lazio, and Napoli. You’re talking about Real Madrid. Actually be specific.

You have no idea the extent of the damage Bartomae did to Barca that’s why this rubbish is coming from you
@BC-mj7gj laporta is no better trust me. Barca the last 30 years havent had the best leadership corruption runs very deep in that club.
@@PUREtrollin You just recently started watching football I guess. Have you watched Barca before Laporta’s first term in 2008, during his time and after he left? Barca became relevant because of Laporta and Cruyff then comes Ronaldinho Messi and La masia. All that connections goes back to Laporta. Bartomae destroyed Barca a lot and Laporta is just saving the club, the fact that the fans have this idea that Barca should be competing with the likes of Bayern, Real Madrid, Man City is just ridiculous
@BC-mj7gj that's true about roanldinho & messi. How do you repair the damage that had been done? I'm not sure anyone can fix barca's current problems. They need to rely on the academy and stop worrying about players like nico williams. Just build the team around yamal. Same formula for messi
@@PUREtrollin exactly that is what they are trying to do. Missing on Nico isn’t a big deal, he has had a good euro just like most of Spanish players and the way this pundits makes it look like is silly
Good for grilfish.. 100 game he got one goal
You know Haaland has become a generational player because trolls are now looking for any reason to try and mock him. And the whole narrative that he doesn’t show up against big teams is false. Haaland has 15 goals and 8 assists in 22 career matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Not to mention scoring against the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Sevilla, Besiktas, Lazio, and Napoli. Because Haaland has scored against virtually every other top opposition aside from Madrid he has ever faced in his career. This whole myth that he doesn’t show up against top teams is nonsense and based on a ridiculously small sample size that people have run with.
its not a lie. its fact mate, luton town stat padder
@dalymufc
Haaland has been averaging nearly a goal per match his entire career wherever he has been.
City-98 games, 90 goals, 15 assists
Dortmund-89 games, 86 goals, 23 assists
Salzburg-27 games, 29 goals, 7 assists
Norway-33 games, 31 goals, 3 assists
Total-247 games, 236 goals, 48 assists
*Champions League-39 games, 41 goals, 5 assists
*EPL-66 games, 63 goals, 13 assists
@@Photosoflife lots of stats with no context, its not just about scoring goals its scoring when it matters and in the biggest games, every final city played he was complete rubbish? last season he pretty much horrible every big game aswell
@@dalymufcso arsenal, lfc, utd, bayern etc.. arent big games?
@@dalymufc "Stats with no context.” Aside from Mbappe, no other player in the world at the very elite level is putting up Haaland’s numbers. The lengths you are going to to try and downplay Haaland is comical. Likewise, Haaland already has the 12th most goals in Champions League knockout round history at only 24. Already ahead of the likes of all time greats like Mane, Suarez, Neymar, Henry, Kaka, Salah, Eto’o, Torres, Ibrahimovic, Aguero, Del Piero, Van Persie, Morientes, etc. Haaland is just getting started.
It's not because of d money... Nico hasn't said yes n barca didn't pay...please shutup shaka
They didn't pay 100M for grealish to score in friendlies and go missing for the rest of the season. Worst 100M player and its not talked about enough
Not quite the worst. Hazard was the worst.
ESPN pundits and always jumping into conclusions. Where is it reported that Nico move to Barcelona isn’t happening again?
7 views in one minute espn fell off 🤦
They're biased no wonder

Luv to c ir
More like a City team B!
You don't watch the game
It was Barcelona C team 😂
With that logic then Barcelona played their H team 😂 you lost against a bunch of kids with 5 seniors deal with it oil rat 👊🤡
And a Barca team C
Have some shame!
This is barca C and D side
With Kevin gone this team is done
Guys Barcelona is not going to tell everybody that they are broke because it is bad for business. No beat company will invest in a broke club and players will wonder if they will get paid if they sign there. It's called marketing.
That Barca team...
So when AC Milan beat City they didnt react lmao
This game would get many more views because Barcelona is a much bigger team than Milan
@himori1982
It’s preseason. These results don’t matter. It’s a combination of academy players, fringe players, players about to get sold/loaned, starters getting their fitness back, massive amounts of substitutions, and players playing with other players they aren’t accustomed to. People are reading far too much into these results.
Please research the number of followers these clubs have on social media and let me know which ones you think would be the best to discuss their games.
@@Prasko131 is it? How many CL do they have?
@@PhotosoflifeI think he is referring to media biases and not the importance of preseason games. Additionally, who do you think is driving the importance of preseason? Chelsea disastsorous preseason , eth should shut up, just to name a few, just from preseason games alone
Espn analysts .please research properly before you talk . The issue with nico is that he is being persuaded by his ckub to stay one more season . IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE MONEY . The president openly said they can . Why ate they also trying to sign olmo? B3cause they have no money ?
Haaland robbed
like yamal in the el clasico
Shaka thinks Nico no comings because of Barca finances lol
City won 3-2 in the game!!
I haven't watched this video but I had to comment on the title being so click baity. S#*t show
THE BROKE TEAM BEAT THE RICH TEAM.😂.
It’s just a friendly match 😂
But I thought City had the better team on the filed
More like City B vs Barca C
Are you slow how was that their b team fool did you even check the line up
@@geraldmutti2001 City had 3 players from their strongest lineup and started 5 academy players. Calling it a B team is a bit generous.
@@TP-pq9xx so because of 3 out of 11 it's the b team 🤣🤣🤣🤣 bro barc brought on strong players in the second half lewandoski, martinez,
Balde why did you mention that too
@@TP-pq9xx am also a barc fan why do we overreact over everything it's just a friendly game mate what matters is the ucl league and Copa del ray not friendlies bro
Espn crew is afraid of Gurdiola n city 💯
Shaka Xavi is gone because he wasn't up to the level he was bad.
Madrid beat them, Barcelona on one leg beat them. Haaland the machine wont be in ballon d'or conversa😮tions. He score hatrick only against stokes and wigan athelics
And Man United
Man City won that game the referees just didn't want to count Haaland's clear goal.
yes it was very similar to yamals disallowed goal in the el clasico in madrid
@@JusticeJuzerexcept this was a friendly and that was a league game. Really pisses me off how vardrid robbed everyone last season.
It wasn't a goal..You faced our C team btw 😂
@@k13troncry harder varca dog

We don't have goal line technology so you can't know if it's a goal
We Will Be There after FC Barcelona signs Nico 😌
Barca fans eat laporta’s lies like cake. Xavi was right about him.
zo williams has stated he is staying? plz show me that news. its on the hands of the player. barca can afford it. we will be back at 1:1 this or next season at lastestr most likely this.
then what will be ur sad fuckers reasoning? hmm?
Both teams had most of the positions filled by youngsters. The fact citys youngsters did dominate possession and gave barcas players problems shows how far their academy has come as Barca are the gold standard of academies in Spain and city matched them pound for pound. But I will say Barca were lucky, Haalands goal went clearly over the line and Barcas second goal was offside but its a friendly so its not too important.
Dude city had like 7 faces that played in the Premier league lasts season 😂
Haaland no goal vs big team as usual lol
He would have had his goal but it was wrongly ruled out
@@Spookybozo similar to yamals goal vs real madrid
@dalymufc
If you actually watched the game you’d know Haaland did score. There was just no VAR at the match to correctly award his goal. Likewise, Haaland has 15 goals and 8 assists in 22 career matches against Arsenal, Liverpool, United, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Newcastle. Not to mention scoring against the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG, Dortmund, Leverkusen, Leipzig, Sevilla, Besiktas, Lazio, and Napoli. You’re talking about Real Madrid. Actually be specific. Because Haaland has scored against virtually every other top opposition he has ever faced in his career. This whole myth that he doesn’t show up against top teams is nonsense and based on a ridiculously small sample size that people have run with.

Actually specify what you are talking about. City was fined for starting games and kickoffs late. Just like quite a few teams at the Copa America were fined for similar infractions. It’s all about TV coverage and networks want the matches running to the second on time.
@@Photosoflife 22 separate occasions that is deliberate it’s planned it’s tactics and it’s snide. Gamesmanship. Disrespectful of the opponents and fans TV companies that paid a load for the rights. Palace did it twice. and got fined.
