The Offside Football

  Spanish National team may not be the favourites to win the UEFA Euros 2020, but this won’t stop them from trying to achieve what they aim for The current Spanish team is far away from the quality and calibre of the team that won 2008 and 2012 Euros, and certainly with new set of young players they were counted out to be the least favourites to win the title as the Champions of Euro 2020. But the performance against Croatia was a statement of intent by the Spanish side, that they are here to fight, they may not be the favourites to win to title but nevertheless this is not going to stop them to go hard in the tournament and fight for the price. Three Reason why Spain should not be ruled out as potential title contenders for Euros 2020 1.   Luis Enrique and his project Luis Enrique a name which all the Spanish and Barcelona fans are well aware of took charge of the National team in 2018-19, his first match in charge was a victory against England in the UEFA Nations League at

 Barcelona Are Active In The Transfer Window, even bagging Players & Deals that too without spending a dime Barcelona without a doubt needs a boost to its current squad of players and so to much surprise to many of the Barca fans, Barcelona have been active in the summer window and what's more surprising is that, Barca are getting players for free. Yeah it may seem strange to you, but until now the players Barcelona have had deals done are free agent (players who are out of contract thus the suitors of these players do not need to pay the club from which the player is coming). Do remember Barcelona are in one of the worst economically hit clubs across the Europe due to the Global Pandemic, with debts over $1 billion over Barcelona which are due to pay. So a move like this does make sense for Barcelona board, Newly appointed President Juan Laporta after his victory did assure Barcelona fans of some major summer signings, well this is not exactly the plan many thought of.  Being

 La Liga Title twists continues with Barcelona up against Levante and a chance to go top of the table with a win In what was believed a potential title deciding week the hype did leave up it's expectation but the results will not be appreciated by either of the top teams and their fans as the teams failed to take the opportunities presented to them. First off Barcelona were poor against Atletico Madrid at home, lack of ideas, lack of ambition lack of courage you name it, Barca faced all of those issues, Atleti was the team on the top and maybe they will be feeling they should've had more from the game as clear opportunities fell to them, but none of the teams could make the most of it and here the clear disadvantage in form of result fell on Barca as being the home team against the league leaders they missed their shot at the title. Lionel Messi looked back on missed Chances as his team failed to win the game against Atletico Madrid Apart from Lionel Messi's solo run and th

Luis Suarez will make an emotional comeback to Camp Nou after his transfer from Barca to Atleti this summer, the striker told to have been past his best, aging and not a top player has proven his critics wrong and netted a total of 19 goals in La

Villareal started the game really well and pegged Barcelona into a defensive and calculated approach, high press along with positional cover Villareal seemed to have better of Barcelona in every department, to which the Yellow submarines were awarded with a goal in the 26th minute, S.Chukwueze made a good run across the defensive pair of Lenglet and Pique and a slip by Alba made him one v one with Ter Stegen in situation in which he went around the keeper and scored, a deserving goal for Villareal for their efforts.
