A double festival for Barça on super Sunday for both teams

The inheritance Bartomeu left was shocking. With 1.5 billion of debt that will pull Barcelona back for years. But not everything he did was bad. There were some good things, even very good. Like the clear and real bet on amen’s football. The professionalisation of the team helped to creat a champion side, the best in the world. With a model based on Barcelona’s style, and the youth team, Barca Femeni are a machine to win titles. They came to fruition last season, with Bartomeu already out of the club. This season they are on track to even beat it, despite the surprising and still not yet explained change of coach.

They won the league smashing Madrid at the Johan Cruyff. Barcelona did it with six gams to go. Their superiority has been remarkable. They have scored 136 goals and let in just six. They have Alexia Putellas, the best women’s player on the planet, the star. But a great group around her that have helped to create an invinciible team that aspires to win it all.

Barcelona’s women are the mirror the mens team must look in. Xavi’s side is still far from being a champion side but on a very good path. It’s a long process, there will be moments of doubt, like against Galatasaray. The key is to win games and titles. If they play with intensity, like against Osasuna, they are capable of everything. Of winning in Istanbul and in the Clasico. Four goals served to keep up their fine run in La Liga in 2022. 23 points from 27, with seven wins and two draws. They are showing this Barca has a present but able all, a huge future.
