If Barca had been smarter, it would have used all of that money to build better, improve stadium and youth and expand. Instead they threw money away to get Coutinho and others.

That is true, they did sell a lot of jerseys of messi, and even griezzman, and even suarez to be fair. However them lacking those players doesn't mean that they will not make any revenue at all, they will keep on making money both from league, TV rights, sponsorship, gate keipts, champions league and so forth.

What they have to do is not to look getting back to that revenue level, but try to drop the costs, that way they will be doing fine. They are capable of paying 100-150 million total for the players, even as much as 200 million, and lets say they have another 200 million running operational costs as well. That is 400 million, let's put up another 100 million for unexpected stuff and they got 500 million dollars cost. Even without jersey sales, that's AT LEAST 100+ million a year, and even then some if they could end up with some success.

Koeman is not the manager for that, but if they could get rid of excess players and put up good talented young players, and get a manager like Xavi, making 700-800 is not impossible and that would be 200-300 profit each year. Even with less revenue, as long as you have less debt then you can get out of it easily, it all depends on dropping the costs.

Yeah, excellent points. They have lost a LOT but they need to focus on what they still have, and thankfully, they have a huge fanbase where the majority aren't just about Messi or whoever it is. And last night's game displayed that they still have a bright future, a wonderful youth and new heroes.

And a great No. 10 who can one day sell just as many shirts.

They just need to think inwards once more and not make the same mistakes.

Barcelona's victory against Valencia provides evidence that Barcelona can play well. I believe Barcelona has a bright future, most importantly
Barcelona do not repeat the mistakes of the past by buying too many star players at high prices. Barcelona must start to provide opportunities
for young players, then slowly the young players owned by Barcelona will show their quality. As has been shown by Ansu Fati, he played very well,
his contribution was very big when Barcelona beat Valencia. I'm also happy that Gavi was trusted as a starter, indeed the young players that
Barcelona have should be given more opportunities to play. Hopefully Barcelona's victory will continue in the Champions League against Dynamo Kyiv,
so when facing Real Madrid in La Liga Barcelona players are more prepared.

Despite missing 45 minutes in the match against Mallorca, Real Sociedad won with Lobete in the 90th minute. Although Mallorca recovered a bit after Munoz's red card, they couldn't find the goal. They beat Real Madrid on the scoreboard and rose to the lead. Barcelona beat Valencia 3-1. The side that deserved more wins was Barça.

We didn't need evidence of it actually, we've seen enough of our youngsters to know we have talent, and even our old team core admits that's the future. We didn't give Messi's shirt to Fati for fun, or Gavi didn't excite everyone at the Nations League finals, these are just some small examples.

As I said, we just need to focus one game at a time and then get ourselves out of debt.

And fix our damn stadium!

It turns out that Barcelona are now not far behind the leaders in the standings... A few more good games and they could be on top! I don't think it'll be easy for them... First the Champions League game against Dynamo Kyiv and then the game against Real...

Yeah Barcelona isn't far from the others in the standing: 5 points from Sociedad with 1 lacking match for Barca. The problem with them is consistency. Facing Real Madrid next weekend will be a good test how far this team is able to keep winning. Winning vs Kyiv in CL is a must imo after losing the 2 previous matches..

Barcelona's winning over the weekend showed that the club still has some fighting spirit. Some exceptional players like Memphis doesn't want to give up. If they fix thier financial issues and get some good players to join forces, the club will bounce back on Champions league and will contend very well in the league.

You are right, Barcelona always had the quality in the players. They also have a good combination of young and senior players. But what happened was after Messi left, Both Aguero and Ansu got injured which accumulatively downed the morale of the whole team. They lacked confidence. But now that Aguero is made his debut and they seem like they have found the chemistry they were searching for from the start of the season, I surely hope that from this point onwards, Barcelona will turn around.

After getting bad results from several previous barcelona matches, of course with this victory it can make Koeman and his squad smile a little, I saw in that match ansu fati began to have a very important role in helping barcelona comeback but it seems he doesn't look really optimal 100%.
Talk about the finances of barcelona, ​​I think barcelona will take a long time to fix these problems, especially now that they have a very large debt to the other club

Seems like Barca have found their long-lost form and chemistry. One thing that accelerated this is the return of Aguero and Ansu Fati. Memphis has been playing well from the start and what I'm most happy about is that Coutinho scored a goal in this one. I felt like he was kind of left out after returning to Barca from the loan but I hope he will get more minutes and show what he's capable of. Hoping for a good match against Kyiv and maybe Barca might even win that one.

Barcelona hasn't changed yet. The club still has stars what their problem has been since the exit of Messi had been team work everyone wants to be the key player no team player. Going by the last match against Valencia we could see clearly that their work payed off if Barcelona maintains this pace the would be unbeatable

Now it is very important to return a positive spirit to the team, as it was before. Perhaps this match with Valencia will be able to become a watershed match that will allow Barcelona to start winning. The start turned out to be bad, but nothing critical happened and Barcelona is only 5 points behind the first place (until Real and Atlético played their matches). I think that this difference can be won back throughout the season if they start winning.

Big win for Barcelona. The goals were effective for this period.

They are bouncing back nicely. Barcelona fans are happy about the way they displayed their fighting spirit, but this level of performance needs to be maintained. Anyway, I'm happy Coutinho scored his first Barcelona goal since November 29th, 2020. A quote from Coutinho: ‘I’ve been waiting for this a long time…I really felt it tonight. It made me feel fantastic.’

Even though barcelona won in that match, I'm not sure if this victory will be the beginning of the rise of barcelona, ​​because to be honest, I see that Barcelona performance is still not optimal, and of course Koeman still has to improve barcelona performance to more increase.
Finally countinho was able to score again for barcelona and it was Coutinho first goal since November 2020, actually countinho is a good player but his lack of playing time prevented him from maximizing his abilities so he began to be excluded from the barcelona squad so far.

This won't be bad because the distance of the points is quite close, it's just that Barcelona needs to be consistent for the next victory because against Valencia it has been proven that Barcelona still has hope to keep going for the sake of points and standings.

However, next week will be quite difficult because the El Clasico match and Barcelona will host at Camp Nou as long as they can get through this challenge then Barcelona can be sure to have bounced back.

Yes, a month and a half ago his fate was unknown and he was going to leave for a club that is not the top, and now he is scoring again at Barça. Honestly, I'm happy for him too, he's a great footballer and I do not want his career to be ruined by coaches who do not let him on the field and do not let him play...

Good result for Barcelona aftertwo defeats. They did well, Depay has been a very good player,  Ansu Fati's goal inspired barca to turn things around and they did it. Counthino also scored one goal after a long period of fasting. Next up is el classico against Madrid at the weekend. It's a tough test, I think a draw is good for Barca. But I expect Madrid to win. Regarding UCL against Dynamo Kyiv they have to win if they want to keep any chance of qualifying from the group stage. There are still 4 group stage games for the UCL, and they have to win all of them.

I watched the match until the end and I thought Barcelona had a good performance throughout the match. Barcelona's victory makes them managed to collect 15 point in 8 match. At first I was really skeptical about Dest playing as a winger, but he was very good there with his pace and individual skill which of course managed to trouble the Valencia defenders. Dest managed to create 1 assist and it looks like he is much better than Luuk De Jong.

Even though they were one goal down, barcelona were able to come back and they even made a great comeback in the match and made them win 3-1, after scoring a goal it looks like countinho is very happy because it was his first goal of this season, other than that his performance in the match was right really very good and able to help barcelona to control the direction of the game, apart from countinho, actually I expected to see a perfect debut from aguero, but unfortunately he played at the last minute so he couldn't make a big contribution to barcelona in that match.

They are going to be contenting for championship in a few games and I am sure about it. They are seen as a team that ended up having some bad situation at the start of the season because they are missing so many players from last year and that is why they are having some trouble and that is why I believe that they are not going to have any problems at all since they are getting that chemistry and they are getting used to it as well.

I mean who could say that we couldn't have something that would be great from them if they are already getting used to playing together? This is why it is obvious that people are undervaluing Barcelona right now because of how they started but they had a good reason to start bad, now they are going to start being a lot better.

[Pulsar77]

Barcelona didn't have a very easy game against Valencia just as I expected. Valencia scored first and after seeing that I started thinking like maybe Barcelona wouldn't be able to get a win at the end. But it was really great to see them reacting in less than ten minutes. Depay and Coutinho put on a really good show and Barcelona won the game by 3-1 by turning it around. Maybe this could be a sign that they would start performing better in the La Liga at least. But still a very tough season is waiting for them.
