Barcelona’s “Identity Crisis”: Failed Transfers , An Aging Team & the Decline of La Masia
What’s wrong with FC Barcelona? Are Barcelona in decline? In this video we’ll explore what has contributed to Barcelona’s slip from their perch as the world’s best team one decade ago under Pep Guardiola. They still remain competitive in La Liga, but Barcelona’s Champions League collapses vs AS Roma in 2018 and vs Liverpool in 2019 add further turmoil to this aging, mentally shaken club that relies far too often on Lionel Messi to save them. Should Ernesto Valverde have been sacked earlier, and how has Josep Bartomeu and the Barcelona board contributed to this slip? Has Quique Setien lost the respect of the players, and should Setien leave Barcelona?

Who's here after Barca got smashed by Bayern?
This vid aged beautifully.
Messi gotta leave or new coach
@@LILOCW Messi becomes the new coach
Nindy player manager
Yp we need Xavi
Barca 🤣🤣🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣
10 years ago : Messi Vs Ronaldo
Now: Messi Vs Bartomeu
Ayyyyyyyyy lmao it's gotten to the point where Messi is subtly threatening to leave the club because of the Barca board
Now: we're still hearing from Messi and next to nothing from Ronaldo.
@@cesargonzalez3599 You're only hearing drama from Messi.
I personally think the selling of Carles Perez, Aleana, Cucurella were a great example of a bad transfers of amazing talent.
Neither Aleña nor Perez were sold and Cucurella is back at Barca
@@goncalo_mendes00 they will be sold for balancing books waste ah f**kin time barca board
@@vishalharricharan4305 no they wont, Todibo probably will tho
@@goncalo_mendes00 Pérez left Barcelona for Italian side Roma. A loan move with the obligation to purchase his rights permanently for a fee of €11 million in the summer.
Have no idea who the f* are those guys
Griezmann isn't a winger, Suarez is injury prone and aging, Messi is aging, Pique is aging, Pjanic is aging, Jordi Alba is yeah, you get my point.
Jack Jerram Messi is still good even when he is aging, but the club ain’t good because of aging
@@felo2442 he is still good, but in two- maybe even one, sometimes another single injury does it- they won't be able to rely on him anymore
Aging as well right?
Jack Jerram u forgot busquets, Vidal, and rakitic.
It feels like something is seriously wrong there. You just get the feeling of a club in decline
The problem with Barca is that they never invested in youth and now they are in a weird phase where there are so many old players and so few young ones that when they play players like fati and Puig who are fast and full of energy with rusty busquets and rakitic also they are afraid of benching the old players too coutinho and griezmann are played out of position which frustrate them and hence are unable to perform well they also have a coaching afraid of players
Imagine if your teacher is scared of his students
Real Madrid on the other hand have invested well in youth they have old player players in there prime and youngsters who are blended in very well in the team plus they have Zidane as their manager a football legend who many people admire
The teacher here is respected by his students this is why Barca are on a downfall
Barcelona golden Era is ending.😭
Next AC Milan in the making.
god please i hope not
When you hold on to your golden age of youth prospects like Barca denying any new comers into 1st team you lose out both on possible transfer income from your stars and developing young prospects
This guy u totally miss understood the point
Every club should buy players to improve if their accademies cannot produce it but it does not mean they should buy any player because their r world class 4 other teams or they play well for other teams
They should buy players that fit barcelona's dna
@@tamunotamuno3564 Barça DNA is bullshit. Puyol was absolutely hated in his beginnings because he didn't have Barça DNA. Xavi was almost sold because he didn't have Barça DNA.
@@animehbkscm Who told you that??
theEchannel Xavi was not good until he hit like 25 or something
I like how Xavi is now the new Messiah. But when Ole got the job at United at the time, he "didn't have the CV for it".
So is anybody going to talk about "CV" now ?
Hm its like saying a donkey is as fast as cheetah
Yeah but usually great players that retire and become coaches hardly have a glistening CV. Even the successful ones
Xavi and Ole didnt have the CV for it
well historically barca has been succesful when using former players as managers. Barcelona tries to maintain a specific style of play so former players can implement it well. Ferguson didnt really have a dictinct style of play that could be emulated. Ferguson was about character, defense, smart gambling, confidence, and other things that cant just be imitated.
This is from a liverpool fan, I think Ole is a good coach for united, I just dont know what his peak is.
@@unnanointedonesufi I actually agree with you. My point was just that it seems that people have different treatments regarding 'similar' situations in football. Sometimes it annoys me. But your point is valid, i have the same opinion.
They've strayed from Cruyff's vision, and it shows ...
Qatar Airways as shirt sponsor was fitting. That was the moment they lost their soul. Along with the passing of Tito and (more symbolic) Cruyff)
I feel the same way when I see the Chevrolet logo on the manu jersey. Shitty cars, shitty...
Who cares, its money! You need to run the business side of food ball to feed the actual football.
But hey the Qatar Airways era had MSN & Barcelona winning the treble in 2015
@@Шабски Yeah, and your point being....? Having nice players doesn't mean the club has a soul (case and point: ManC). La Masia could have produced world class players and they would not need to buy both Messi's striking partners
@@Jack-jb4qd well, they're almost broke, hence the Pjanic/Arturo trade. What a great business!
Got this recommended after they got slapped up 8-2 😂
0:08 why does Iniesta look like he’s 40
when he’s like 10?
He has seen things haha.
Born mature
Not really. You talk bs.
This video speaks volumes after that 8-2 trashing. I miss the old days
is just one game calm down lol
@@mahfoudseraf5995 it's not even about the game bro
It's all the things the guy mentioned in the video and he it can be highlight with the way we played against Bayern
@@lancenkosanasenda8211 dude the whole world exprienced the worst football season ever, not just barca
After today, this video is gonna do NUMBERS
I believe the demise of Barcelona started around the time went they switched jersey sponsors from UNICEF to Qatar Airways. I that point the club sold their philosophy of long term investment to short term instant gains. The academy hasn't produced a regular starting player in a while. Barca just buys the best players without thinking will this player fit with the system they have. They have literally three of the same players on the roster (Messi, Greizman, and Counthino).
Rip Malcolm, alena, rafinha, Arthur, ..etc
barce board really be messing up
Rafinga was crap from the get go
This video is soooo detailed. I LOVE IT
th-cam.com/video/jy6uLMSeEPwR/w-d-xo.htmleal Madrid mocks Barcelona after widening the lead difference
Thanks for being more honest and sincere that most videos, and honestly, most Barca fans I have been talking lately. Im not a Barca fan, I didn't like Valverde, but there are videos our there titled along the lines of 'How Valverde destroyed Barcelona' and it simple goes way more deep than that.
This is an institutional crisis and there is people out there blinded to that fact.
The Arthur-Pijanic swap makes no sense ,you send a same quality younger player to buy an older one , swap new pick up truck for an old one nice job man
I knew this could happen it was heart breaking to see how Thier midfield was getting shiter every year and finnaly this year it all showed rip Barca 2006-19.
Is it just me or did it all go down hill after Cruyff died (2016)?
Being over 30 and blaming your age for losing steam at the end of matches is hardly a valid excuse.
James Milner is older then all of them and can make it easily through a 90min match.
Barcelona are lazy and unmotivated. They don't feel like they have to work for their success. They expect it to be handed to them just because they are Barcelona.
Milner's my boy, but he doesn't play back to back games anymore
But milner plays with the energy of henderson and wijnaldum, the pace of salah and mane. There are no pace and energy in barcelona.
Who's fault is it? #1 Socis. #2 The board. #3 Messi and FC Friends
No no no. Everyone has a part yes but the players lose control if they are allowed to and they have been allowed by the managers and board too long. If you simply sell the likes of Suarez Alba and the others will solve the issues like that
who is here after bayern 8-2 barcalona
Sir Alex Ferguson said many years ago how lucky Barca were to have a squad like they had that comes around once in a generation with the likes of Mess, Xavi, Iniesta, Pique and the like. Much like when Man Utd dominated the English game when their generation of top young players came through. Barca need to rebuild or face years in the wilderness and only have to look to Utd to see what can and will happen.
This guy really hit the nail in this matter
100% agree with what u said
We need more people like this in football commentary
Well now its really proven, 8 balls inside the net type of proven
Ac Milan experienced the same mass exodus as they were aging and Berlusconi changed his philosophy about transfer policy . After 8 years of fall from heavens AC Milan is now going through a revolution and are looking good.🔥they finally have a team that can qualify for the champions league.
Do it like Bayern Munich, put capable old players into power, that love and breathe the clubs philosophy.
From Uli Hoeneß and Franz Beckenbauer to Rummenigge and now Kahn and Salihamidzic
You really do hit the nail in the head dude. Amazing analysis
i've been saying this time and time again we need a new board #bartomeuout
That was an awesome video. I was just wondering if you think Messi is to blame for part of their lackluster play. I don’t have the stats but it seems to me that he is playing slower, more touches, waiting more for the play to develop. If you play with a mentality that only Messi can win you the game, at some point, it becomes your reality
100percent agree with u
Messi has always been like this but the 3 to 4 years this is more noticeable
He just stays static waiting for the ball rather than running into space and asking for it
And adding to the fact that Barcelona players are dependent on messi who is not in good position or enough space to make something happen which in turn slows the game down
If messi was more proactive in making small movements and runs and then asks for the ball it can be a lot better
Cmon, you got to understand he's not 25 anymore. It's amazing guys like Messi n Ronaldo can still play at the top level but they are past their prime.
@@samhaokip9126 Exactly
There is a reason Ronaldo doesn't dribble as much anymore
That is why they can play 40 games a season without injuries in their 30s
Instead of spending 800 million on these players, they could spend just a fraction on referees
Them blame Madrid for paying refs, wow
@@tjseries3057 you pumpkin head. Don't you realise it's a dig at Madrid ?
@@tjseries3057 ?
I have found your videos intriguing but uneven in tone, content.
This is one of the best summaries and critiques of a club or sporting institution, the best analysis, I have seen.
Really first class. keep it up, you have something and you are intelligent and articulate.
Keep on improving and you will go very far is my prediction, thank you.
It’s painful to watch. There is no hope Barcelona will wake up soon from that nightmare that is Bartomeu presidency. Even after he leaves there will be no team, no money and no perspectives.
Who is here after 8-2
He said football.... I literally have tears of joy dripping down my face
I'd say it's pretty natural to see a decline after many years of success it happens with all clubs.
However with Barca it's different, The glory years are the anomaly, not the rule. Gotta look back prior to 2000 to realize this.
What fans should be concerned of however is the fact that historically (pre 2008) Barcelona never really had the kind of era they had 2008-2015, they don't have anything to look back on in terms of handling the situation that is and has been coming at them for the past 4 years or so.
Well... #8-2
Nothing last for ever, I'm a Liverpool and I know things won't last for ever so I enjoy the moment
Damm man I'm so sad now, watching how my life team is falling apart
I said this when they lost to Liverpool
Liverpool did not have any first team player above 30
Their players are too old
Now we are coached by flick. Raphinha just got a hat trick against Valladolid, and we are top of la liga while heading into international break fresh off a 7-0 victory
Excellent video. Very detailed and well presented. Show some respect for your viewers and comb your halr!
Where did they go wrong?
1) Dembele over Mbappe
2) release oh Coutinho (probably unpopular but I think his numbers were not abysmal until the media turned on him)
3) Not keeping La Masia talent (alcazer) or identifying the issues that were not getting grads into first team experience.
4) not having a real succession plan for Iniestia, Pique, Mascherano, Messi, etc.
real out of UCL by city, first time you lose to an english team in both legs you're now just a shadow of past glory oh wait real never had glory in the first place just referees....
Suggestions For Barca: Stop Signing And Relying On Aged Players So Much When There’s A Need Of Refresh Of Young Talented Players From The Academy And Across Europe.
Also The Emergence Of Puig, Fati And Ronald Araujo Is A Good Start And Talent Such As The Young Portuguese Barca Signed And Pedri Across Laliga and Europe Great
But The Same As Well As Bringing In Players Ready To Be Put In As Classy Players Around The Ages Of 25-28 Or 29 as a stretch to bring in stability and greatness to Barca once again
Wenger was the first one to apply data science regarding a football squad and it turned out to that Invencibles season, Leicester city used data science to sign vardy and manhrez and win that league title, Pep uses it to address his signings as well; but data is not everything and la masia should not be relying on it to form players
Who’s here after Barca lost 8-2
as a barcelona fan, this is very spot on. subscribed !
I agree and have learned new info on this. Thanks! I would also want to question the power that the players have in deciding who comes and who goes. It is baffling to me that since Guardiola left no big name coach was given the chance to coach such a talented team. Why? Was the board afraid for the coach to clash with the big egos in the team? Were the players deciding who to hire (Tata?)? It's so sad what Barca has become. They could have added at least 2 more CL wins to this Messi generation. Time for big changes there. It should start up top.
After Enrique ,I have always known this would happen. I just couldn't understand why Bartomeau could not be shown a way out, and why Xavi was not brought back. When the club let alves go, and dembele was signed in, it seemed the board was trying to make a road for the future. . . But it's game of the hypocrite.. I always followed Puig Alena and fati from their younger days and looked up to them.. Barca is dead without la massia. I don't know why I still support despite not being able to see Cruyff's quintessential Barca way of football in their current playing style. Still living in nostalgia of Pep and Enrique's golden years.
Great video Adrian!! Thanks for dragging up those traumatic Liverpool UCL defeat memories! I was just starting to sleep again...
Adrian this is a great video in retrospect. Huge respects for you and your work keep it up!
Barca should've never let Pep go! He could've been La Liga's version of Sir Alex Ferguson. Pep's even on record saying he saw himself at Barca for 30 years. As a City fan I'm grateful! Which was what made Pep the perfect coach, for a team that has the greatest player ever on it. Because despite Messi's heroics, Pep demanded his players play as a team/his way. The over reliance on Messi was a great point!👍 Along with Barca forgoing developing talent in house, for high priced free agents, who rarely stick around very long. How fitting would it be for Man City/Pep's Boys to be the one's who drive the final nail in their metaphorical coffin? By knocking them out of the Champions League very early by Barca's standards(knockout stage). Enjoyed the video!👌
anyone here after barcelona 2-8 bayern munich?
Quality content‼️ Thanks dude I’ve subbed 🇬🇧☀️
Great analysis Adrian.
At the current direction it's game over for Barca once Messi leaves/retires, at least until Laporta takes over Barca again. Real Madrid on the pitch also is not in a good situation currently, but at least they have more prospects in the future and multiple good young players on loan that can bolster the squad.
Spent over 100 mil on a player who didnt hit double digits in germany
You should do a video about Florentino Pérez's great management at Real Madrid, for he is the reason for most of Madrid's dominance in the last few years
I'm a passionate Meringue supporter but watching my team decline after CR7 I don't wish the same for my enemies when the inevitable departure of their hero comes let's hope they get their act in order Liverpool showed us it's possible with the right leadership
When Valverde was sacked, Barca was first in LaLiga & lead comfortably in Champions League.
After 7 months Setien managed to slip the league away and been dumped by Bayern 8-2, definitely way worse than before.
Barca way is losing 8-2? 😂
Quique's gone but the board isn't. They are the pests that need to be exterminated. I'm a Bayern fan btw
valverde was inept. would have lost to napoli (2nd leg) under him....used to keep sleeping on the sidelines & play any new player on left wing...........idiot.....good riddance
Aaand Quique Setien just got sacked because they suffered their worst defeat since 1946, on a massive European stage in a match where the team looked totally outclassed and couldn't look like they gave less of a shit.
Things are certainly going from bad to worse for Barca.
tbh they should do what they did before, sell all the players and start anew
Great video which sums up a lot of the problems with the Barca team and organization. You could also have mentioned the Martin Braithwaite deal as one of the clearest indications (this year, anyways) of how poor the board is doing. Loans/ sells Carles Perez to Roma, despite the fact that he did a great job in the games he got for the first team - and with the problem of the team having no depth at all on the right wing having Dembele out injured (as per usual) and Messi + Suarez not fully fit. I mean, once more, the club sells out a young promising talent, who did an acceptable job (not saying he's the new Messi), just to end up buying a dane who had previously played for relegation-prone teams (Middlesbrough and Leganes). Not to mention the purchase of Coutinho and try to replace him 1-1 with Neymar. Don't even get me started on Griezmann - this guy is a great attacker and his price was high for that reason, but comming to Barca, he's being used as a winger - I mean, at this point it's just pure stupidity.
Bartomeu started out great in 2013/2014, but from the latter part of 2014 till this day, it's been a horrorshow and I do not understand, in any way, how the board refuse to see it.
Again, great video and greetins from a Barca fan in despair.
And this came out before THE match, oh my.
First time watching your channel. We need more TH-camrs like this.
Barca was a top team in 2009 shows how low they have gone when they lost to Liverpool
And liverpool got destroyed by manchester city
@Yanda Ocxida atleast barca has more copa del reys than athletic billbao....
Yoyr channel is really substantive and informative. Great job.
Suarez-Vidal-Rakitic-Umtiti-Semedo-Alba-Firpo-Neto,possibly Griezmann should all be sold,the team needs a rejuvenation,a combination of youth and experience and a board with a longterm project
Really hoping this board is gone in 2021. Victor Font and Xavi will lead Barca back to the promise Land!
"Xavi to the rescue? *laughs*"
YOU CALLED IT! HEARD IT HERE FIRST BOYS
Fuck, that's sad. And I'm not even sure that Xavi would be the solution to this crisis, not in short term at least
I think age is not that important. Look for example at Müller and Boateng, both were weak while Kovac was head coach and in the press they wrote, that both players are too slow for modern football. And look at them now when Flick is head coach, Müller has the record for most assists and Boateng is so strong like in 2015.
Main problem for barcelona is how weak and pathetic they are away from home, 16 games in la liga this year away and only 23 points picked up, and they only have a +3 gd in those games, not to mention the decline of Pique and a weak midfield and weaker defense that carelessly give away fouls in dangerous positions
the packers: fc barcelona of the nfl? lol
when Neymar left they were so obsessed with filling the hole that they spent so much on players who couldnt fit in to the system and were not nurtured properly.
My prediction: I think if Man City gets banned from champions league there are some excellent players that Barca can sign from City. Bernardo Silva is the closest thing to Iniesta today, Laporte is for me the second best CB and hes a great ball playing CB, not to mention maybe they can bring Pep back.
Great video!
as a real madrid fan... this kinda makes me sad 🤦🏽♂️ hope they get over this hiccup because getafe and real sociedad arent playing around rn 😪
Makes you sad ?? Ur not a Real Madrid fan then.... I’m thoroughly enjoying this downfall. They predicted this would happen to Real Madrid after Cristiano left...... meanwhile it’s happening to Barca while Messi is still there 😂😂
Fake af

@Yanda Ocxida first, try to get over how you got slapped by city twice then talk
Other clubs used to fear facing Barcelona. Now they're eager to face them. That's how bad the current situation is.
I agree with everything you have stated. Barcelona is at a unbalanced state with poor decision making. All due to respect to Pjanić but I believe we should’ve kept Arthur instead, he was young, composed, & talented. Once I heard we got rid of Arthur, questions began to generate as to WHAT THE HELL IS THE BOARD DOING?? Arthur could’ve been a replacement for Iniesta, we just needed to give him time to fully develop. The Barcelona board, for me, is the biggest problem we got, poor decision making, poor planning, & poor financing. FC Barcelona as a whole is deteriorating & it’s showing, I mean just look at what Bartomeu is doing! He’s basically changed La Masia to serve a different purpose than what it was originally for. I’m disappointed because we went to having the glory days at Barcelona to having the decline of Barcelona. It’s sad to see a club this great be taken down by the decisions of the board & by the mentality of the players.
Love these kind of vids ❤ keep up the good work!
Barca have pedri and trincao coming in. they also have dembele coming back from injury and coutinho from loan. they can turn it around.
Thanks for the great analysis. History has witnessed the rise/fall cycles of many great powers. It's Barcelona's turn now.
Bartomeu has ruined the club I want him out, if xavi comes back to the club, I want him to reinvent the club.
Dont know why Barca fans do believe that Xavi is the answers to all their problems.. He is not guaranteed to suceed.. He has not proven his managerial success with any team.. Most of the great players have been bad managers.. Take Maradona as an example.. Xavi is a legend but not everyone is Zidane or Pep.. Barca's problems run deeper than just the coach.. The board and players themselves are part of the problem.. Pep was fortunate enough that he inherited the golden generation of La Masia and Zidane was already handed a star studded top teir team.. Barca need a complete rehaul even if Xavi is to succeed..
Brilliant stuff as usual
yeah i know brilliant how real can't make it past city, real is falling apart
Messi is both great and horrible for Barca right now. On one hand he delivers great performance almost every game, on the other hand he is an anchor that keeps Barca from changing.
Im here after while in transition, the La masia production has been high
This is the obligatory "Barca are still waiting for that corner" comment.
Settien's role is being overblown in the decline. like mentioned, it's much more about aging squad which can't be understated, they have 8 regulars/starters who are averaging 32 years old. "to fight"is too much to ask for players that old vs topfit peak physique teams. again, not settien's fault. way too much. which is not his fault, injuries of the few players with depth and speed Dembele. Griezmann is not a good fit for Barca, atletico and even france have such different squads people overlooked he was not the right fit in a team where messi is the vocal point and he has to play second fiddle, he might've been a technical marvel in atletico, but so was Arda, again, not settien's fault. and talking about the young players, he has given them chances but doesn't put all the burden on them, this is arguably what most managers do. then thelast point, he hasn't even had a preseason with the team and his own transfer window/s
The Pjanic deal really goes to my nerve...I'm wondering If these boards has even a slight knowledge when it comes to football....
We had an aging squad as well at Bayern, took us 1.5 years to deal with it :)
In Barcelona terms that would be ... well u better start cloning Messi and Suarez ...
I don't know anything about the inner workings of Barcelona management but when it comes to finances I see Barcelona, kind of, like I see Mercedes in car development, when push comes to shove, THEY WILL ALWAYS PROCURE THE FINANCES!
In my opinion it is characteristic of ALL Spanish top football to become conservative once results are not optimal. The stakes are so high that management adopts a CYA (cover your ass) mentality and opts for "known entities", i.e. old players, in favor of ""risk element"" young, not fully proven talent.
This video was published on July 2, 2020, don't know when it was made. I also don't know when the deal was solidified but Barcelona has in the past few weeks hired a new coach, Ronald Koeman.
Ronald Koeman (I am biased because I grew up in The Netherlands) comes from a long heritage of successful collaboration of Barcelona and The Dutch, meaning Barcelona attracting talent from Ajax. Ronald Koeman is also a good diplomat, who can besides displaying football knowledge, communicate effectively and work well with a board/management. And lastly, Koeman has spent a significant time period at Ajax, a team that practically phrased the coin developing youth and gaining talent from within.
You mentioned a success pattern/past of coaches who were players before coaching....Koeman is exactly that.
I look forward to seeing Barcelona's future and what they will be able to accomplish with Ronald Koeman. Let's all see what happens!
Cheers.
Koeman better hope he gets a massive investment if the club can manage to swindle one of the Oil club's (PSG, Man City) and have the funds to literally build back the foundation from the ground up if they don't let Leo Messi walk away free (Odds are that won't happen).
BRUH, IF YOURE A BARCA FAN, DONT LISTEN. IT WILL ONLY DEPRESS YOU. TRUST ME YOU ALREADY KNOW THE HISTORY. SIGH
great video. new sub!!
8-2
I thinks this is a little unjust, not because you get Busquets, Iniesta, Xavi as canteranos, that doesnt mean that you can keep getting people out of the academy team, the academies sometimes are not good enough.
Even more in such a demanding team as Barcelona, that needs to win every game.
this video is not getting old...
part of the reason for barcelona not being the force they used to be is Arsenal have stopped feeding them players.
You also need to mention the sacking of Platini and Blatter ended the UEFALONA influence too
Nah buying youngsters or not it won't change anything. Barca team needs a complete overhaul starting from Messi. Yes Messi, hear me out.
Messi is notorious for being the one that decides first team squad be it Argentina or Barca, I rest my case. Now on the field Messi needs to put up on the striker position like in his younger days coz he has lost his pace and his mazy runs with sudden burst of acceleration has become fewer and fewer especially against good teams and when the big matches comes around like finals he is nowhere to be found and gets shut down.
Messi for all his greatness needs to played on the front line like his younger days. I remember the season he scored the highest individual goals in a calendar year, there were lots of matches where he ran less than the freaking goalkeeper in the whole match. Yep! less than a goalkeeper xD Messi needs to play like that now more than ever. Concentrate on scoring not playmaking.
