The Historic sextuple season of Barcelona 2008/09
INTRODUCTION: It is true that in 2007-08, Rijkaard had one of the most-talented squads in history. And that increasingly in that final season they looked a hopeless bunch of leaderless layabouts. The Catalonians had enough of “CRUYFFISIMO”. Vice-President ROSSELL told that every decision of Barcelona was overlooked by Cruyff in his resignation press conference. Majority of the Catalans lead by the new Vice-President JOSEP MARIA BARTOMEU wanted Cruyff to stay out of Barcelona’s plans and wanted a fresh start with the Talented- JOSE MOURINHO as Barcelona coach. But Laporta announced that he would ONLY TRUST CRUYFF.

Juventus Ferociously Mangled by Chelsea (A Review & Player Ratings)
11/23/21 It's a horrifying afternoon here in The US where supporters saw McKennie and his Juve being savagely beaten with no remorse. On a long awaited European night with an air of it's usual magic in the wind, this wasn't a playoff round, but there was still much to play for as the clout of a First Place finish and in theory the chance for a "weaker" opponent in the next round hung in the balance. If you have been following Juventus closely this season, you may have seen a scoreline like this coming. I for one expected it in the playoff rounds vs the likes of maybe Bayern Munchen or Liverpool, and actually having it be more brutal. Chelsea showed us some semblance of mercy for the scoreline could have been far worse, a good 5 - 6 - 7 goals to mil, had it been for some more clinical finishing or a good save or two less from Szczesny who was surprisingly on form. For all his hype till this point Manuel Locatelli did little to gel together the midfield and attack with proper ball distribution and visionary passing; and did very little in ball recovery and possession to help create a base in midfield. This is a problem because it allowed Chelsea to run rampant. The only standout performer in midfield for most of the game was Mc Kennie tirelessly chasing down Chelsea players and looking lively throughout the whole match. Next came Arthur (Too little too late) and albeit for the wrong player, while I just finished criticizing Locatelli, Arthur for Locatelli was the wrong move in my opinion, We had a worse midfielder on the pitch in Rabiot, it is he who should have been subbed. Anyways, Arthur came on and did his job well, he held possession and distributed the ball nicely in his 30 min or so on the pitch.

3 Targets for Tottenham Hotspur in the January transfer window
Since the turn of the century, Antonio Conte became the 16th manager/head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. Conte's first task is to rebuild the confidence of his players, then he must bring in the reinforcements. Harry Kane is a shadow of himself, and Dele Alli is playing like he is out of his depth in the Premier League. Spurs need to strengthen the sqaud. There are plenty of transfer targets available, but should the club attempt to sign Kylian Mbappé?
