She finally released the explanation for the details in the Barça launch video in case you were planning on breaking down every single meaning for everyone. 🫶🏽

i completely agree with maria tikas. it's one of the best kit announcements that barça has made in recent memory and really does a great job capturing the essence of the club, barcelona, and catalunya. note that barça and nike are about to launch a blockbuster deal that with the improvements in global shipping and international markets, they are starting off with a bang!

so i won't do a frame by frame breakdown, but here are some of the most inspired parts of the video:

barça/brasil - we start with showcasing the long connection between barça and brasil with global icon ronaldinho and then current brasil star, raphinha. next we flash to lamine. lamine isn't brasilian but he has a beautiful creative style of play that shows how the brasil influence has translated to the younger generation in combination with the classic barça way.

facetime call between balde, pau gasol, and hristo stoichkov - this links barça football with the other sections in our club and historical players. gasol is one of the most famous basketballers ever for spain who played at barça before going to the nba. stoichkov was part of the famous johan cruyff dream team for barça

pa amb tomàquet - this tomato bread is one of the most famous and popular dishes in catalunya and you see it everywhere. here, pau cubarsí (the catalan kid) is teaching our foreign players araujo and lewandowski how to properly make the dish. (rub the tomato, don't cut it!)

inesta's "double" croqueta - i loved this part. we see iniesta making croquetas, which is a fried dumpling with meat or vegetables inside. but croqueta is also iniesta's signature ball handling move on the pitch. a play on words!

ball/ballon d'or - one hidden detail. ronaldinho picks up a leather ball and we see the ball all throughout the video, including another player who is carrying the ball, and that's aitana, representing a past and current ballon d'or winner.

pilarín bayés - pilarín is such a decorated artist from catalunya (catalunya has such a rich history of art) and so to have pilarín talk about barça's style of play is a great way to combine the two (and you have pedri and fermín being her students!)

barça femení as castellers - castellers/castells or human castles is a catalan tradition going back centuries and often happens during the big festivals. essentially each layer needs to work together to complete the mission of completing the tower. the base layer of a castell looks like a football huddle and here the women are dressed as castellers on the pitch showing the importance of teamwork.

classic barça moments - and all throughout the video we have so much old footage of classic moments from barça history from johan cruyff's flying kick v. atletí to alexia bowing at camp nou during record breaking crowds. this is the 125th anniversary of the club that is steeped in so much history, so this is a way to celebrate that.

anyway, there's even more to break down including iconic barcelona landmarks and other famous moments from matches, but these are my favourite parts. it's just a well made video! 🫶💙❤️

Man U v Barca

This was quite the match and well played on both sides. Although Rashford did not score (leaving us to miss his iconic celebration), Man United played very well, and I was glad we could see other players come into the spotlight. Their resilience in the second half proved that this win was earned in the purest form. This team is filled with lots of promise as they hold the 3 spot in the premier league.

As for Barcelona, I can safely say we missed the presence of Pedri and Gavi, but I was not upset with how they played. Overlooking the fact that they could not score an equalizer, they played to the best they could have, mistakes were made, but that is just the game. The substitutions: Torres, Fati, and Alonso did not upset me as much as it did when Raphinha was taken off the last Europa League match. Despite popular opinion, I look forward to seeing more of Torres and understanding the build-up Xavi has for him.

Some matches are just poor because they have to be.

Also, Happy Birthday Atony!!

Barcelona Secures a Convincing 5-0 Win Over Real Betis

In a recent football showdown, Barcelona showcased their prowess with a convincing 5-0 victory over Real Betis. This match took place at Montjuic, serving as Barcelona’s temporary home while the iconic Camp Nou underwent renovations. The stage was set, and both teams were ready for an intriguing clash.

A Resurgent Barcelona:

Barcelona had been showing signs of a resurgence since their goalless draw with Getafe in the opening fixture. They had secured two significant away victories against Villarreal and Osasuna, bolstering their confidence. Under the guidance of Xavi, they aimed to continue their winning streak, although they understood the challenge presented by Real Betis.

Real Betis’ Progress:

On the other side, Real Betis, led by Manuel Pellegrini, had collected seven points from their first four matches. They had notably bounced back from a 4-2 defeat against Athletic Club with a 1-0 win over Rayo Vallecano. However, they were fully aware of the difficulty of facing Barcelona on their temporary home turf.

The Key Moments:

The match unfolded with several notable moments:

• João Félix opened the scoring for Barcelona in the 25th minute, showcasing their attacking capabilities.

• In the 32nd minute, Robert Lewandowski extended Barcelona’s lead to 2-0 with a well-placed finish.

• A pivotal moment arrived in the 62nd minute when Ferran Torres curled in a free-kick, further solidifying Barcelona’s control.

• Barcelona continued their dominance in the 66th minute when Raphinha struck a powerful shot from distance.

• The final goal of the match came in the 81st minute from João Cancelo, sealing Barcelona’s 5-0 triumph.

The Outcome:

With this comprehensive 5-0 victory, Barcelona displayed their capabilities. Their performance was characterized by precision and cohesion, leaving little room for Real Betis to mount a comeback. Real Betis, though determined, found themselves outmatched on this occasion.

This match was a testament to the unpredictable nature of football, where moments of brilliance and determination can tip the scales. As Barcelona’s journey continues, they leave behind a solid performance. Real Betis, on the other hand, will regroup and prepare for future challenges.

In the end, it was Barcelona’s night to secure a significant win, a result that will be analyzed and discussed in the days to come.
