Barça: Siempre Positivo

Send us Fan Mail

Lamine Yamal struck the first hat-trick of his senior career as Barcelona beat Villarreal 4-1 on Saturday to keep their LaLiga title bid on track.

Sam, Rik and Toni reflect on an improved, fresher performance from Barça as they made it 10 wins from 10 at Spotify Camp Nou since returning in November. They also talk Pedri's impression off the bench, a renewed Jules Koundé and Barça's chances of turning around a four goal defecit in Tueday's Copa del Rey semifinal second leg against Atlético Madrid.

There is, of course, also time for you know what talk ...

Sam, Rik and Toni talk about Barca's 3-0 victory over Mallorca in La Liga on Saturday. Jules Kounde struggled (again) against Jan Virgili, Rashford was bright and Lamine kept up his scoring streak. Marc Bernal netted his first goal for the club too, leaving a few talking points, even though the game itself was not spectacular. We get into it. And is Santi Cazorla right?

Sam, Rik and Toni discuss Barcelona's 3-0 win over bottom-of-the-table Real Oviedo on Sunday. It was a poor performance, particularly in the first half, as Hansi Flick admitted, but Dani Olmo, Raphinha and a Lamine Yamal wondergoal got the job done. One point clear of Madrid and we head into the Champions League group stage (or "league phase") finale.

Barcelona came a cropper at Anoeta once again as Real Socieded secured 2-1 win which ended Hansi Flick's side's 11-game winning run in all competitions. As a result, Real Madrid are now just one point behind Barça at the top of LaLiga.

Sam, Rik and Toni discuss a defeat which could quite easily have been a win, Frenkie de Jong's criticism of referee Jesús Gil Manzano and Dani Olmo's role on the left and his missed chances.

The pod finished with news of Dro Fernández's imminent departure from the club. Could Barça have done more to stop the teenager leaving for his €6 million release clause? Paris Saint-Germain look set to sign him this week.

SP!

Sam, Rik and Toni chat about Barcelona's 3-2 Clasico victory over rivals Real Madrid in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia as Hansi Flick's side claimed their first piece of silverware this season. Good Barca or bad Madrid, or a bit of both? Raphinha's brace, Lewandowski starting over Ferran, ratings and more.

Happy New Year!

The podcast returns after another Barcelona win, this time in the derby against Espanyol, with Joan García excelling on his return to the club he left in a controversial transfer last summer for €25 million.

Sam, Rik and Toni discuss the goalkeeper's performance, where he stands in the list of current Spanish stoppers and his importance to this Barça side.

Other than García's display, it was not Barça's best performance of the season, with the quality off the bench tilting the tie in their favour as they turn their attention to this week's Spanish Supercopa in Saudi Arabia.

Raphinha and Lamine Yamal were on target as Barcelona won 2-0 away at Villarreal on Sunday to keep their four-point lead at the top of LaLiga as the Spanish top flight breaks until January.

Rik and Toni discuss the win at the Cerámica, as Barça snapped Villarreal's six-game winning steak in LaLiga by taking theirs to eight matches. There is of course some customary Ferran talk, but also Flick's Raphinha rant, the need for defensive reinforcements after Christensen's injury and doubts about an Eric-Frenkie midfield pairing.
