🚨🔵🔴 LAPORTA, DECO, HANSI FLICK — GET ON A PLANE TO COMO. NOW!
Pick up the phone. Make the calls. Speak to his family. Get Messi involved if you have to.
DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO BRING NICO PAZ TO BARCELONA!
Promise him a project where he will be trusted, developed and given the keys to become Barça’s next great No. 10. Make him feel wanted. Make him see the vision.
And when Real Madrid come knocking? TELL HIM TO REJECT THEM!
We cannot afford to watch another generational talent slip through our fingers while our rivals get stronger.

“NICO PAZ LOVES MADRID SO MUCH”
But he said this
“It was for nights like this that I wanted to stay. I thought this was where I would grow the most. I think I made the right decision.”
An academy product who chose minutes and trust over warming the Bernabéu bench.
Now he’s delivering on big nights while Madrid fans are busy explaining why he loved Madrid.
You wanted him to wait for his turn. He chose to make his own name.
Nico Paz chose Como. And every masterclass makes that decision look smarter. Cry about it.

🔵❤️| TONI FERNÁNDEZ: IS THE VENEZIA MOVE ACTUALLY WORKING? 🇪🇸
Toni Fernández has now gone four of Venezia’s first seven league matches without playing.
The more concerning detail? He has yet to feature in any of Davide Nicola’s first three matches in charge.
Against Inter, Venezia lost 2–0 to two own goals, yet Toni remained an unused substitute.
There is also a reported €4m mandatory-purchase condition linked to three appearances. Toni has already made three substitute appearances, so the idea that Venezia is avoiding the trigger remains unproven.
Was this the right move for his development, or does he risk spending the season watching from the bench?
A young player needs minutes to grow but can only get that opportunity in Barcelona than outside.
🔵❤️| LA MASIA: TONI FERNÁNDEZ UPDATE 🇪🇸
The former La Masia talent is still waiting for his next opportunity at Venezia.
📊 His Serie A numbers so far:
• 3 appearances
• 58 minutes played
. 6.03 Ratings
• 0 starts
• 0 goals, 0 assists
• 1 yellow card
His last appearance came against Lazio on September 19. He was an unused substitute against Atalanta on October 12, and has remained on the fringes since the coaching change.
New Venezia coach Davide Nicola addressed his situation ahead of the Inter clash, describing Toni as a player with significant potential who needs the right development pathway.
Barcelona have not completely closed the door. Barça retained a buy-back option and a percentage of any future sale when he left after eight years at La Masia.
At 18, Toni is entering an important stage of his career. His next minutes in Serie A will be worth monitoring closely.
Tonight: Venezia vs Inter.
Will we see Toni Fernández return to action?
SCOUTING WATCH: Alessandro Bastoni 🇮🇹
A defender who can dictate play and dominate in the air.
📊 Bastoni’s stats for Inter today:
• 93/101 (92%) Accurate passes
• 113 touches
• 12 passes into the final third
• 6 clearances, 3 headed
• 4 recoveries
• 1 interception, 1 block
• 3/3 aerial duels won (100%)
• 1/1 successful dribbles
• 0 times dispossessed
• 2/5 accurate long balls
• 1/3 ground duels won
His ability to progress play from the back while remaining composed is a major asset. The aerial dominance stands out, although his ground-duel numbers leave room for improvement.
Bastoni is more than a defender. He’s a build-up weapon.
🔵❤️| SCOUTING WATCH: Alessandro Bastoni & Toni Fernández
Bastoni has already been booked with a yellow card, and the free-kick he conceded led to a goal that was later ruled out for offside after the rebound.
Beyond the incident, his progressive passing, composure under pressure and ability to break lines from defence make him an interesting profile to study.
Meanwhile, Toni Fernández, I hope your moment comes soon. 🇪🇸

How can a five times Ballon d’Or winner wins the greatest BOAT of all time over an 8 times winner?
How an can a 3 times ucl winner be the greatest ucl winner of all time over people who have won 6 times?
You can clearly see how dumb it's sound. 😂🤣
If it was an actual award do you think Ballon d’Or will allow you fans to vote in??.
It's just like me saying having 5 Mercedes benz c300 is greater than having 8 of same Mercedes model.
You can see how dumb the award is.
You can see here in this photo why fans aren't allowed to vote for the Ballon d’Or. This is a clear example of how your BOAT AWARDS looks like.
Because even with this voting, Garnacho can actually win the Ballon d'Or.

The truth is, there's no coach in the world who watches Andreas Christensen in training and doesn't take him seriously. 🥲
☑ On the ball?
☑ Positioning?
☑ Accurate passes?
☑ Forward passes?
☑ And more.
You simply cannot overlook this man. Hansi Flick can't afford to do without him. 🥹
Bastoni bringing down Akor Adams 🇳🇬
The former Sevilla man and current Nigerian international was brought down by Bastoni, earning the Italian a yellow card.
This is what makes Alessandro Bastoni such a good defender.
He knows when to engage, how to use his body and how to manage dangerous situations against physical attackers like Akor Adams.
Even when he gets beaten or has to commit a foul, his defensive awareness and aggression are part of what makes him such a difficult defender to play against.
Physical battle, defensive aggression and a reminder that Akor is not afraid to take on defenders.

Bias aside, If the 2027 Ballon D'or be awarded now, who is stopping Yamal from winning it? 🎙️

WHY DO MADRID FANS THINK NICO PAZ BELONGS TO THEM FOREVER?
Because I said Barcelona should sign him, suddenly his Madrid academy background means he belongs to Madrid forever?
Since when did coming through an academy give a club lifetime ownership of a player?
Aren’t you currently hyping Barcelona academy graduates playing for your club? Or does academy loyalty only matter when it suits Madrid?
Nico Paz is a footballer, not Madrid’s family inheritance. If Barça want him, let them compete.

Why Only A Ruthless Manager Like Antonio Conte Can Save This Man Utd
Conte Is The Only Manager Who Can Fix This Man Utd Mess
Michael Carrick is living on borrowed time. Man United just had their worst start to a season since 1986, with only one win in their first eight Premier League games. Right now they are sitting one point above the relegation zone.
It feels like we have finally hit rock bottom at Old Trafford. After that embarrassing 4-1 loss away to Champions League debutants Como, followed by a 3-0 humiliation at home to Bournemouth, things can't get worse. Carrick will still be in charge for the Chelsea game on Saturday and has been told he has time to turn it around, but that will need a miracle because part of the dressing room has clearly stopped playing for him.
This is the same story we saw with Amorim, Ten Hag, Rangnick, Solskjaer, Mourinho, Van Gaal and Moyes. Player power has been out of control for over 10 years, and the recruitment team is to blame. They keep signing players who don't have the mentality or quality to play for a club as big as Man United.
You can also say Carrick was failed by the board. They only gave him £155m for what has to be one of the worst midfield rebuilds ever. INEOS and the Glazers kept treating a club legend like a caretaker manager even after giving him a two-year deal for getting us back into the Champions League. The love he got from the fans after the Bournemouth game proves he is not the real problem.
But something has to give if results don't improve, and sacking the manager is always the easiest option. Until the owners leave, United will be stuck in this cycle of failure. But a proper culture reset is still possible if we bring in a proven winner who can discipline this miserable squad. That man is Antonio Conte.

🔵❤️| FLICK, REST CUBARSÍ AGAINST ALAVÉS. WE NEED HIM FRESH FOR ASTON VILLA.
Pau Cubarsí played 56 matches in 2024/25 and another 48 in 2025/26, recording almost 4,000 minutes last season alone.
He has already made 10 appearances and played 871 minutes across competitions in 2026/27.
And remember, this is a 19-year-old centre-back playing in a system that demands a high defensive line, aggressive recovery runs and constant concentration.
THE SOLUTION?
Keep Cubarsí fresh for the Aston Villa fixture rather than waiting for fatigue or an injury to force rotation.
Flick must manage Cubarsí well
