Why Juventus should be wary of bringing back Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Posted on 3 May 2013 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Follow @GhellaiMahmoud In many ways Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the protypical modern soccer player. Tall, strong, athletic and, perhaps most importantly, has almost no loyalty to his club. One-man clubs are becoming more and more rare as the years go by, but Zlatan is almost truly an example of a soccer mercenary. He’s played for six teams since 2004 and is the world’s most expensive player in h...

With Song purchase Vilanova shows he has learned from Guardiola’s mistakes, but was it the right move?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Today Barcelona have confirmed the 15 million pound purchase of Arsenal midfielder Alex Song, and while it proves that Tito is heading in the right direction in regards of how to improve the Barca team, it was a misguided purchase. Over the years of Guardiola's highly successful reign, the one issue that has been painstakingly clear is the lack of depth on the Barcelona team, especially in the ...

Jordi Alba: final piece of the Barcelona jigsaw?
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Mahmoud Ghellai.
Last night, the La Liga campaign for the big two started off with defending champions Real Madrid hosting Valencia while Tito Vilanova's official coaching debut would begin with a game against Real Sociedad. While Mourinho's men were held to a 1-1 stalemate, it was Barcelona who impressed with a 5-1 thrashing of Sociedad. Christian Tello was the star of the match and it appears he has matured f...

Posted on 23 Mar 2011 by Justin Welton.
The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League have been set, and the matchups are intriguing to say the least. Real Madrid vs. Tottenham is a game that should be exciting to watch.

Two leagues within La Liga
Posted on 21 Jan 2011 by Allan Jiang.
When the 2010 FIFPro starting 11 was announced, eight of the 11 players were from Barcelona and Real Madrid. La Liga clubs not named Barcelona or Real Madrid not only have to contend with the overwhelming gap from a talent perspective but they also have to watch on with frustration as Barcelona and Real Madrid pocket more than a third of the TV revenue. Then again 60% of the nation supports one...

End of Year 2010 European Power Rankings
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Robert Bode.
In the final edition of the 2010 European Soccer Power Rankings, it isn't surprising the top two teams hail from Spain, the nation who won the World Cup this past summer. After the 5-0 drubbing of Real Madrid in “El Clasico,” Barcelona proved they are right now far and away the best club in the world, and this group of Blaugrana is playing at a level the sport has rarely seen. 43 po...

Champions league round of 16 draw reaction
Posted on 17 Dec 2010 by Allan Jiang.
Select comments Arsenal v Barcelona is without a doubt the marquee fixture of the round. Barcelona are masters of playing the beautiful game, their brand of football is cavalier like, successful and perhaps the closest version to total football. Like Barcelona, Arsenal has a heavy emphasis on producing a beautiful game however are less successful, less efficient and more fragile in defence. Rub...

El Clásico reaction
Posted on 30 Nov 2010 by Allan Jiang.
José Mourinho was rendered speechless during Barcelona’s 5-0 humiliation of Real Madrid in an El Clásico which reaffirmed victory for beautiful football. Fortune favours the brave, well not in Mourinho’s case when he decided on persevering with the attacking talents of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Ángel di María and Mesut Özil knowing full well his defenders did not have enough de...

Barcelona are the World’s Best, and it ain’t Close
Posted on 29 Nov 2010 by Robert Bode.
As a Real Madrid fan, I was hoping for a draw today in the Camp Nou. A win would have been a pleasant surprise, despite hearing plenty of experts tipping Los Blancos for victory. Deep down however, I couldn't shake this feeling that Barcelona were still the world's best club, despite Real's undefeated record in all competitions under Jose Mourinho. While Madrid have improved under the “Sp...
