I'm a +40yo man from Barcelona and I have to congratulate you for the deep understanding of the history and current state of the club. All non-local videos I see in English fail to explain key aspects of the story but this one is an exception. You trully did your homework.
Finally a video for my club, I love your videos and it's awesome that you put out one like this that the documentary type. I know the management of the club isn't great, but I hope we can really start changing this. Will definitely enjoy it.
Man! such high quality content with equally great presentation and narration , this truly is one of , if not the best football documentary channel on youtube , it really feels like there is a production team behind it 😆 Keep up the awesome work Tenasha , your content is AMAZING!
One thing I believe is understated in this video is how bad Rosell and Bartomeu management was.. First, Rosell kicked Cruyff from his honorary president position due to personal disagreements. His exit as well as Begiristain's played a huge role in Guardiola's departure. He also renamed Barça Atlètic to "Barça B", and made the agreements with Qatar. Although Barça was relatively fine economically, all these changes put a huge dent in the club's identity.. and then came the Neymar scandal which made Rosell resign Bartomeu was also involved in the Neymar transfer scandal, but managed to keep a low profile and got elected. One of his biggest fails was trying to re-negotiate the agreement with Qatar to get more money from them.. but it resulted in the opposite. The agreement with Rakuten was Pique's doing for the most part. Then disaster struck with all his bad transfers (Coutinho, Dembele, Griezmann) and the BarçaGate It's crazy to believe that the club didn't collapse earlier thanks to the raw talent of its players.. Messi made us believe that the club could still do fine despite everything. Or Piqué helping with the signing of Rakuten while still being a player (it shouldn't have been his responsibility) I honestly think Laporta is doing a great job fixing this club that was pretty much in shambles not too long ago. I obviously don't agree with everything he does, but seeing the bigger picture you gotta respect the man. 2025 is looking bright for FCB, and I hope my club will shine once more
There's a video in Spanish by channel Godzuki that covers mainly the Barça administration during this century. It also covers the points you mention during it. Good watch if you know Spanish, I wanted to pull my hair out whenever Bartomeubwas mentioned.
Well said sir. Laporta has the Spanish media (Fiorentino) against him and the LA Liga president Tebas. Sow is important to loke where the information comes from. Laporta mission is to not sell Fc Barcelona and his doing a great job! 800milj euro in 2023/2024 The 3rd most valuable club in the world $5.5 billi Visca el Barca😀
Yeah you go ahead and shift the blame, you guys have always blamed Madrid for everything you did wrong , it's Perez who told you to overprice Neymar right? it was Perez who told you to go overboard with Coutinho, Dembele and Griezmann right? and what's funny is that Bartomeu isn't even the start of that chaos it was Sandro Rossell, get a grip and focus on your own mess and also support Laporta, the man is trying to bring FCB back

i love how everyone talks about traditional values, but nobody ever pins it down for what it is, it's as fluid and changeable as water, depending always on the flavour of one's politics that they are pushing
Despite their current financial situation, I see a very bright future for Barcelona. Not just because of La Masia talents like Yamal/Cubarsi/Bernal/Balde/Lopez/Fati leading their return to glory, but also because their renovations to the Camp Nou will be huge in solving every economic problem they have Also it would be huge for the club if Pique became president, since he has previously expressed interest in that role. Maybe they could even bring back former players as a veteran presence for their young core
@@thobelagwaxula3407actually it’s not. If you think about it. Revenue wise the Camp Nou will have sponsors and Spotify will pay more for the new stadium. The old revenue from the Camp Nou was 100 million. So what’s the new one going to be which will accommodate more people? Now it won’t fix the problems by itself but it will go a long way in doing so.
Guardiola didnt quit because Madrid won the league he left because of disagreements with the board and the unreasonable pressure from Spanish media. Thats why most Barca coaches dont last more than 3 seasons, because Madrid controls mostly all of the media which constantly attacks anything good in Barca, same thing that happenned to Xavi and Luis Enrique
That’s just BS victimism. Real Madrid has Marca and AS, barcelona has Sport and Mundo deportivo. Both have their newspapers. Barcelona has been a very successful club but when you are constantly compared to the best club in history of course you are going to fall short. Spanish media is tough with all Spanish clubs and also in other sports, even the young prodigy Alcaraz gets tough articles from time to time
Bruh stop trying to deflect the blame towards Madrid, accept the fact that Barcelona's board and management aren't as competent as people think. If Madrid controlled the media then you would never stop hearing criticism about Barcelona or the Negreira case. And stop trying to believe the myth that Madrid controls the media, El Chiringuito is literally a comedy show and Marca is the property of Urbano Cairo, the owner of Torino, who are, you know, Juventus' fiercest rivals and a strong oppositor for the Super League.

Cruyff and Laporta are the greatest figures of Barça in my opinion. Cruyff cemented the philosophy, and Laporta saved the club.. twice. These two are definitely not perfect, but their positives are on a godly level. PS. I think Rinus Michels deserves recognition because he brought totalfootball to Barça with Cruyff as a player.
I read an article from 2010 and Barcelona were struggling to pay their players because of mismanagement. This was a time Barcelona was by far the best team in the world and yet they still struggles despite sporting success
Ppl think the club is in disarray while Barca dominate the world. At any point in time, either Barca or Real is on top of world football. It’s a clasico world. Other clubs just play in it.

I still can't believe Barcelona bought Dembele then went on to buy Coutinho. And the very next year bought Griezmann. They literally threw money away like it was nothing 😂
Dembele was signed for Neymar, a bad move for that price as he was still unproven. Coutinho if i am right was signed as a replacement for Iniesta also very overpriced. They both were overpriced as they haven't won anything substantial to prove the huge fee and even if you wanted to pay it should be like 60M + clauses. If clauses get complete then pay the rest of money
Tanasha, i know this may be a weird request but could you do a deep-dive into Middlesbrough and why season on season despite having on paper some of the best players and squads in the championship, they can never seem to make it over the line
People think Manchester United show economic prowess because they have rich billionaire owners. If Barça wanted to, they could sell their club to rich owners and have "economic prowess". At least FC Barcelona is owned by the fans.
your absolute best video so far! I live in Barcelona and just started getting into football. This video helped me understand the history of the club so much better! Keep´em coming and please do other clubs too!
That’s the worst part of being a Barça fan while the base team may be doing well or not, the actual problem is the core of the club and that isn’t as easy to change compared to the base team
Cruyff was amazing. Pure on his football skills, he is one of the greatest. But if you take into his account what he did as a coach, he is the nr 1 footballer of all time. Hands down.
Thats why i love Barca. There's always something happening still even though i am not spanish / catalan i feel a connection towards Barca as an institution & its history against Oppression. I know there are thousand problems with barca but thats why its interesting & when we achieve something i feel much more fulfilled. & The players that came through that institution is why Barca can never be undermined in football history. This is one of the reasons i started supporting barcelona. " Barcelona isnt Boring"
"Its history against oppression" Franco was given several honors by them, they got saved by the Regime re-evaluating land Barça owned, they joined the xenophobic catalan seccesionists, who are openly nationalistic and racist against other Spaniards, and have been paying the CTA vicepresident to have a say in which referees stay in La Liga for 30 years. Like all Barça fans from outside of Catalonia, you are delusional.
30:43 Come on, it's Marca, the Real mouthpiece. Asking them about Barca rumours is like asking The Sun about it's opinions of Liverpool fans in Hillsborough
I like how you're one of the few English speaking non-Barca supporters that actually say the stadium's name right. I know you're South African, but many English people say "The Noo Camp" instead of "Camp Nou'. It's like saying "Trafford Old"
I always just say Camp Nou, and I'm an American. Nou Camp would be direct translation into New Field, but that's not really how Spanish, Catalan, and some other languages work
Im not a conspiracy theorist but it's actually kind of funny/ spooky that literally the day after Barcelona do some really great business that a bunch of channels drop " Barcelona are bad at business/ are run terribly videos" The day after
@@ghostlucas7 damnit so you missed our golden Era of 2006-2015, that's sad. I've been supporting them since 95, don't worry We'll get at least 2 UCLs in like the next 6 years once this team sets up fully
Tbh. Cruijff is a absolute legend. Even me being a half dutch guy who's heart is with Feyenoord, Cruijff is dutch history. Cruijff is the reason why football has drasticly grown. Cruijff will be my absolute hero and GOAT.
barcelona are like that one guy who knows he has exams and should study but doesn't poor life decisions and addicted to games unhealthy childish but always always find a way to succeed
In a nutshell: Barca is still strong because of their fans ,and the influence of Cruyff. Everything else is just constant fluctuating between terrible, bad good and occasionally great.
Correction Josep Senol was killed during the Spanish civil war because he went by mistake to the wrong side and it was killed for that reason , not because he was the president of the FCB.
Please make a video on Liverpool on how they were on the verge of administration in 2010 to where they are now, competing at the top and about to turn over £700m in revenue.
The annoying thing with Barca is despite the largely terrible running of the club, Yamal and the rest of the recent La Masia graduates might end up being so good that it gets them out of trouble lol
Such a great club I loved Johann Cruyff. It's so sad seeing old European legacy clubs fall on hard times. Red Star, Bordeaux, Lyon, Deportivo la Coruna, Ajax, Aston Villa, Rangers, and Hamburg, and that is without mentioning teams like Dynamo Kiev, Zenit Saint Petersburg, and Panathinaikos, or Ferencvárosi TC and my personal favourite Djurgården.
1+ billion debt is too large,for me Loparta is doing a fantastic to keep club's legacy active at highest levels all while facing multiple challenges. Culers & Catalans just hate Real Madrid & want their club that was on verge of closure/sale to compete over Real Madrid's achievements.
I always dislike that a lot of Barcas achievements were possible due to a serious case of "well we pay later". I don't like Clubs that overspend that much and pretty much bent the rules or down right brake them to be succesful. Or if they have an advantage due to shady shananigans (Bayern Munich), i prefer clubs like Werder in the Lemke (RIP you great man) era or Freiburg, who had some very creative ways to get where they are/were.
Thank you. I’ve been a Barça fan since 2003. I love this club. But I am not delusional either. FDJ deferred his wages and now they are beginning to have to cough it up. Yes the man is injured. Yes the player has been questionable throughout the years in his gameplay. But how does it look like when we sign a player and then later on expect them to cut their wages when we don’t want to pay him anymore because of our own board’s decision making. Fuck the board. Do something about them. Pay FDJ. Stop bitching. Stop signing players for these ridiculous prices and offering ridiculous contracts. Easier said than done I know. In order to compete we need to buy great players. But the last couple of years we finally have been focusing more on La masia. What we should have been doing since neymar left and be wiser with the money
@@Bisstoro going from -140 million salary cap to +440 million in 2 years without playing in your main stadium and also still having a competitive team is very good management. Whether you want to admit it or not.
55 goals scored in 16 games so far. The best goal scoring record in the club history. Hansi Flick's Barcelona is running wild. And that happen under the goat of Barcelona president Joan Laporta
1. Laporta is the only reason our club aren't sold to Saudi by Font and is slowly rebuilding our club 2. Why drag Laporta as the one proposing the Super League and leave out Perez?? 3. Pep didn't leave Barca because Madrid were topping the table. He left because he was eaten alive by Spanish media 4. Why belittle everything Laporta has achieved and say we might be broke again in few years? We have a squad for the next 10 years and a grand stadium to help financially!! 5. The "financial suffering years" you stated didn't make us anything less than a global powerhouse of an institution. Even admist the disaster we were pulling world class players and registering them!!
@@FootballIconic As an avid watcher of your videos and with all due respect, from the perspective of a culer, it felt nothing like praising Laporta. And please don't ever mention Laporta and Bartomeu in one bracket. Yes we didn't like the gaslighting part of being able to buy Nico this summer but the man's positives strike out every single negative.
@@johnprashanth27 Chill man, it’s just a critique. He certainly didn’t mean to shame Laporta or undermine everything he has done for the club, but that Laporta had and still has certain flaws is pretty clear for everyone to see.
I would like to leave my thought's as a more or less impartial viewer because I think you took the video in more negatively than it was supposed to be: 1. I think he conveyed the fact that Laporte is slowly rebuilding really well. Of course he still needs to mention the existance of an opposition and talk about the potential harm of the financial steps taken. 2. It's a video about Barcelona and not about Real Madrid... 3. I can't really comment on this issue but I would guess that he just focused on the chaotic environment as a part on the issue because thats the focus point of the video. 4. He didn't belittle the financial steps of Laporte. For me it came across quite clearly that these steps were necessary (maybe even unavoidable) but you don't have to be a financial genius to understand that the deals sacriface some long term financial strenght for this short term gain and even if it is the right call (which seems likely but we can't be sure till we look back on it in some years) he still has to talk about the potential downside. 5. This came across in the video. No one ever doubted the fact that Barcelona is a cultural and athletic powerhouse and it wasn't called into question in the video at any point. He made a really interesting an in-depht video about both the clubs successes and the clubs shortcomings. I think he did a great job of conveying the important information and of course he mentioned the struggles aswell. So if you want a video just talking about all the good parts of the club while blindly ignoring everything else because you just don't want to hear it, you should maybe just search elsewhere.
It sad Barcelona was at it peak with players like Ronaldinho, Messi,Neymar,Xavi, Etoo, Suarez , Henry and ither great players one of the great football powerhouse in Europe
man utd lost becks to madrid and barca lost to madrid on signing becks, barca then signs ronaldinho, man united lost to barca on signing ronaldinho. man utd instead signs a young 19 yr old with the name ronaldo, and im pretty sure i was one of his doubters on who this impostor ronaldo is. can't blame the teen in me losing a club legend then losing out on a world cup winner and star, nike ads and all, to signing some impostor ronaldo, thought man utd was on dark times. arsenal became invincible that same season. as it turned out it was madrid who went through a face of mediocrity while barcelona and man utd benefited in that 2003 transfer saga.

41:12 the coaching classes pre-date the levers. That's something that started under Barto.
Tanasha, i know this may be a weird request but could you do a deep-dive into Middlesbrough and why season on season despite having on paper some of the best players and squads in the championship, they can never seem to make it over the line
Awesome video bro. Great piece. Keep it up💯
Manchester United showing economic prowess ? Boy I hope their stadium doesn't crumble over their fans. That will one be one hell of a lawsuit
People think Manchester United show economic prowess because they have rich billionaire owners. If Barça wanted to, they could sell their club to rich owners and have "economic prowess". At least FC Barcelona is owned by the fans.
Economic prowess in that United are easily the worst of the “big teams” in Europe, but they still top several commercial revenue lists.
great video. keep up the good work.
This was a greta video. It captivated me from start to finish. I know that I sound like a bot, but this was seriously a good ass videos 😂🙏🏿
How many times will Laporta save our ass, Messi came along with him and now Lamine, love the guy
If Laporta saves Barcelona that's going to be the biggest Barca comeback since Paris 2017
TIL Barcelona's first lever was the image rights contract in 1987.
Great content and research! Thank you!
Great video as always, thoroughly enjoyed
your absolute best video so far! I live in Barcelona and just started getting into football. This video helped me understand the history of the club so much better! Keep´em coming and please do other clubs too!
You know my day goes good when you upload
That’s the worst part of being a Barça fan while the base team may be doing well or not, the actual problem is the core of the club and that isn’t as easy to change compared to the base team
Amazing video! Loved this one mate!
Using indistinguishable instead imcomparable was a strange choice there.
Great video mate 👍
Cruyff was amazing. Pure on his football skills, he is one of the greatest. But if you take into his account what he did as a coach, he is the nr 1 footballer of all time. Hands down.
Wow. Really appreciate such content.
Thats why i love Barca. There's always something happening still even though i am not spanish / catalan i feel a connection towards Barca as an institution & its history against Oppression. I know there are thousand problems with barca but thats why its interesting & when we achieve something i feel much more fulfilled. & The players that came through that institution is why Barca can never be undermined in football history. This is one of the reasons i started supporting barcelona.
" Barcelona isnt Boring"
"Its history against oppression" Franco was given several honors by them, they got saved by the Regime re-evaluating land Barça owned, they joined the xenophobic catalan seccesionists, who are openly nationalistic and racist against other Spaniards, and have been paying the CTA vicepresident to have a say in which referees stay in La Liga for 30 years. Like all Barça fans from outside of Catalonia, you are delusional.
Great Video!
just commenting for the algo. amazing job, thank you so much
I yearn for the day to see Messi back at Camp Nou, a farewell is long overdue.
You cooked on this one
Insightful video
30:43 Come on, it's Marca, the Real mouthpiece. Asking them about Barca rumours is like asking The Sun about it's opinions of Liverpool fans in Hillsborough
I like how you're one of the few English speaking non-Barca supporters that actually say the stadium's name right. I know you're South African, but many English people say "The Noo Camp" instead of "Camp Nou'. It's like saying "Trafford Old"
I know people who think it actually is the “new camp” 😂😂😂
I always just say Camp Nou, and I'm an American. Nou Camp would be direct translation into New Field, but that's not really how Spanish, Catalan, and some other languages work
Man, the consistency is insane
great insights! i didn't know about the orgy, i won't forget it though! :)
This video was awesome. Nice job!
Also, "traditional values" is hilarious lol
thanks for this video, i have a better understanding now. I've always wondered how did they get in so much debt, makes sense now
Im not a conspiracy theorist but it's actually kind of funny/ spooky that literally the day after Barcelona do some really great business that a bunch of channels drop " Barcelona are bad at business/ are run terribly videos" The day after
Paid off by the deep state
and fanboys crying like the club feeds them
@@qBodi please construct 1 coherent sentence because I don't know what you're trying to say
@@dishantithomas4198 "you re a crying fanboy"
@@FootballIconicI knew it! You are working for Perez. Coward!
i just wanna see these guys lift a champions league trophy man
never seen Barca lift it since I first started watching them.
When did you start supporting Barcelona?
@@Royale0055 16/17 season right after Xavi’s departure season
@@ghostlucas7 damnit so you missed our golden Era of 2006-2015, that's sad. I've been supporting them since 95, don't worry We'll get at least 2 UCLs in like the next 6 years once this team sets up fully
I think it’s time you look at old highlights and replays of us winning trebles cuz it’s gonna be long before we win something substantial.
Tbh. Cruijff is a absolute legend. Even me being a half dutch guy who's heart is with Feyenoord, Cruijff is dutch history. Cruijff is the reason why football has drasticly grown.
Cruijff will be my absolute hero and GOAT.
We need a Netflix series about this team. Wow! just wow!
Kudos to those heads trying to keep this club alive
Very informative video
barcelona are like that one guy who knows he has exams and should study but doesn't poor life decisions and addicted to games unhealthy childish but always always find a way to succeed
In a nutshell: Barca is still strong because of their fans ,and the influence of Cruyff. Everything else is just constant fluctuating between terrible, bad good and occasionally great.
Correction Josep Senol was killed during the Spanish civil war because he went by mistake to the wrong side and it was killed for that reason , not because he was the president of the FCB.
Thanks tanashe i literally commented about this some time ago to make video about of Barcelona
Best football channel
Please make a video on Liverpool on how they were on the verge of administration in 2010 to where they are now, competing at the top and about to turn over £700m in revenue.
The annoying thing with Barca is despite the largely terrible running of the club, Yamal and the rest of the recent La Masia graduates might end up being so good that it gets them out of trouble lol
It's the history of the Tottenham, I mean Barcelona !
Nice video m8
Iconic video about my club
Such a great club I loved Johann Cruyff. It's so sad seeing old European legacy clubs fall on hard times. Red Star, Bordeaux, Lyon, Deportivo la Coruna, Ajax, Aston Villa, Rangers, and Hamburg, and that is without mentioning teams like Dynamo Kiev, Zenit Saint Petersburg, and Panathinaikos, or Ferencvárosi TC and my personal favourite Djurgården.
1+ billion debt is too large,for me Loparta is doing a fantastic to keep club's legacy active at highest levels all while facing multiple challenges.
Culers & Catalans just hate Real Madrid & want their club that was on verge of closure/sale to compete over Real Madrid's achievements.
Johan Cruyff signed for a record breaking 2 million is just insane how has inflation hit so hard.
100x in 50 years is not that bad.
What's the name of song used for Joan Gaspart intro? Idk why but I found it really funny
I always dislike that a lot of Barcas achievements were possible due to a serious case of "well we pay later". I don't like Clubs that overspend that much and pretty much bent the rules or down right brake them to be succesful. Or if they have an advantage due to shady shananigans (Bayern Munich), i prefer clubs like Werder in the Lemke (RIP you great man) era or Freiburg, who had some very creative ways to get where they are/were.
Thank you. I’ve been a Barça fan since 2003. I love this club. But I am not delusional either. FDJ deferred his wages and now they are beginning to have to cough it up. Yes the man is injured. Yes the player has been questionable throughout the years in his gameplay. But how does it look like when we sign a player and then later on expect them to cut their wages when we don’t want to pay him anymore because of our own board’s decision making. Fuck the board. Do something about them. Pay FDJ. Stop bitching. Stop signing players for these ridiculous prices and offering ridiculous contracts. Easier said than done I know. In order to compete we need to buy great players. But the last couple of years we finally have been focusing more on La masia. What we should have been doing since neymar left and be wiser with the money
Learning finance and history
If Barcelona is mismanaged then what does that make Manchester United 🤔
Even worse. Both can be true at the same time
I would say in the last 3 years barca have been managed better than man united. Better sporting success. And less "dumb" transfers. @@FootballIconic
@@lunarphoenix1011 wich doesnt make it good management, just better than the shitshow that is united, both trash though
@@Bisstoro going from -140 million salary cap to +440 million in 2 years without playing in your main stadium and also still having a competitive team is very good management. Whether you want to admit it or not.
Mismanaged but not currently under indictment for bribing the second in command of the Spanish referee association.
Can you make a video about the Negreira case, involving Barcelona?
55 goals scored in 16 games so far. The best goal scoring record in the club history. Hansi Flick's Barcelona is running wild. And that happen under the goat of Barcelona president Joan Laporta
1. Laporta is the only reason our club aren't sold to Saudi by Font and is slowly rebuilding our club
2. Why drag Laporta as the one proposing the Super League and leave out Perez??
3. Pep didn't leave Barca because Madrid were topping the table. He left because he was eaten alive by Spanish media
4. Why belittle everything Laporta has achieved and say we might be broke again in few years? We have a squad for the next 10 years and a grand stadium to help financially!!
5. The "financial suffering years" you stated didn't make us anything less than a global powerhouse of an institution.
Even admist the disaster we were pulling world class players and registering them!!
I feel I both praised and critiqued Laporta? The best ever for a reason. Never said Barca were less of a fantastic institution
@@FootballIconic As an avid watcher of your videos and with all due respect, from the perspective of a culer, it felt nothing like praising Laporta.
And please don't ever mention Laporta and Bartomeu in one bracket.
Yes we didn't like the gaslighting part of being able to buy Nico this summer but the man's positives strike out every single negative.
@@johnprashanth27 Chill man, it’s just a critique. He certainly didn’t mean to shame Laporta or undermine everything he has done for the club, but that Laporta had and still has certain flaws is pretty clear for everyone to see.
El cule con mas autocritica:
I would like to leave my thought's as a more or less impartial viewer because I think you took the video in more negatively than it was supposed to be:
1. I think he conveyed the fact that Laporte is slowly rebuilding really well. Of course he still needs to mention the existance of an opposition and talk about the potential harm of the financial steps taken.
2. It's a video about Barcelona and not about Real Madrid...
3. I can't really comment on this issue but I would guess that he just focused on the chaotic environment as a part on the issue because thats the focus point of the video.
4. He didn't belittle the financial steps of Laporte. For me it came across quite clearly that these steps were necessary (maybe even unavoidable) but you don't have to be a financial genius to understand that the deals sacriface some long term financial strenght for this short term gain and even if it is the right call (which seems likely but we can't be sure till we look back on it in some years) he still has to talk about the potential downside.
5. This came across in the video. No one ever doubted the fact that Barcelona is a cultural and athletic powerhouse and it wasn't called into question in the video at any point.
He made a really interesting an in-depht video about both the clubs successes and the clubs shortcomings. I think he did a great job of conveying the important information and of course he mentioned the struggles aswell. So if you want a video just talking about all the good parts of the club while blindly ignoring everything else because you just don't want to hear it, you should maybe just search elsewhere.
idk why but maqwell and football iconic dropping videos about my club both on friday the 13th is a good sign for me
Great video. Would love to see one on Bayern Munich. They seem like such a well run organisation.
It sad Barcelona was at it peak with players like Ronaldinho, Messi,Neymar,Xavi, Etoo, Suarez , Henry and ither great players one of the great football powerhouse in Europe
man utd lost becks to madrid and barca lost to madrid on signing becks, barca then signs ronaldinho, man united lost to barca on signing ronaldinho. man utd instead signs a young 19 yr old with the name ronaldo, and im pretty sure i was one of his doubters on who this impostor ronaldo is. can't blame the teen in me losing a club legend then losing out on a world cup winner and star, nike ads and all, to signing some impostor ronaldo, thought man utd was on dark times. arsenal became invincible that same season. as it turned out it was madrid who went through a face of mediocrity while barcelona and man utd benefited in that 2003 transfer saga.
