As the third-generation king of world football, Messi has also earned the adoration and respect of fans. However, it is undeniable that Messi has indeed entered the twilight of his career, and everyone understands that Messi's final peak should be coming to an end. Therefore, whether Messi can return to Barcelona before retiring is something many fans are looking forward to. Now it seems that Messi does indeed have a good chance to return to Barcelona, as he has always been fond of Barcelona and hopes to complete his retirement there in the final moments of his career. Especially if Messi renews his contract with Inter Miami, he will indeed have the opportunity to join Barcelona. After the start of the offseason in the MLS, Messi can completely return to Barcelona on loan. Knowing that Barcelona's financial situation is not good, Messi is willing to lower his salary. This allows Barcelona to sign him back more easily, and then Messi can fully compete with Barcelona for the Champions League and La Liga titles. This return will also benefit Messi in maintaining his competitive form. Then Messi can prepare for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, and there is another key reason for Messi's return to Barcelona. That is, Laporta previously promised that Barcelona would hold a grand retirement ceremony for Messi, allowing him to bid a perfect farewell to the Barcelona fans at that time. However, the loyalty of the king is also commendable by the fans, as he also hopes to welcome a perfect ending in Barcelona. If he can…

Renewal Failure! Liverpool's Most Expensive Star Determined to Join Barcelona As we all know, Luis Diaz is currently one of the most critical stars in Liverpool's team. After years of lying low, he has grown into an absolute mainstay and has performed outstandingly in all positions arranged by new coach Sloet. However, what does not match his performance is that Diaz is one of the lowest-paid players in Liverpool. According to Spanish media Elnacional, the renewal negotiations between Diaz and Liverpool have unfortunately broken down. He has already rejected the renewal and explicitly stated that he only wants to join Barcelona because he has always been longing for Barcelona since childhood and hopes to wear the jersey of this La Liga giant one day. At the same time, Barcelona also highly appreciates Diaz's abilities and believes that he perfectly fits the club's playing style, making it a highly recognized two-way pursuit. Diaz just turned 28, and he joined Liverpool from Porto in the winter transfer window of 2022. At that time, Diaz's market value on "Transfermarkt" was 40 million euros, and the Reds paid a transfer fee of 52 million euros for him. In his first year at Liverpool, Diaz's market value quickly rose to 75 million euros. However, in the following two years, his market value entered a stagnant period with almost no changes. This season, Diaz has performed brilliantly, and his market value has continued to grow. His market value has reached 85 million euros, which not only makes him the highest-valued player in Liverpool but also breaks…

When asked if Ronaldo is stronger than the two prides, Vieira doesn't think it's a question. He simply says, "I've never seen a player like him. When he played for Barcelona, he was like a robot, capable of controlling everything. Even in training, when we lacked motivation, he could still control everything." Vieira adds, "Baggio could do it when he was young (but not as he aged), let's see how Ronnie does it. He pretends to dribble past you, then stops and waits for you, dribbles one, two, three, and scores! In other words, he can do whatever he wants." Vieira transferred to Inter Milan for a record-breaking fee of 30 million euros, and his first words to Ronaldo were, "I'm here because I want to play with you!" Reflecting on the past, Vieira sighs, "Everyone has their own characteristics. Players like Roberto Baggio, Del Piero, and Totti no longer exist. It wasn't until today, 20 years later, that I truly realized the high level of Serie A at that time!" Even in the highest level league at that time, Vieira still believes that Ronaldo in his prime was the ultimate form of the strongest player, and he has yet to see anyone as strong as him. Vieira has many classic remarks praising Ronaldo. He once said that his teammate possesses all the techniques of a footballer, and he never felt inferior to others until he met Ronaldo. "I am friends with Roni. He has everything a player could have. His explosiveness and speed are top-notch. I am lucky to…

Barcelona displayed their powerful attacking force and teamwork, while Real Madrid's defense was riddled with flaws, leading to this catastrophic defeat. After the match, various media outlets conducted in-depth analyses of the game, with "El Diario Deportivo" mercilessly rating the entire Real Madrid squad. Unfortunately, three players—Bale, Jovic, and Odriozola—became known as the "Real Madrid culprits" in the eyes of many. Looking back at the match, all four goals conceded by Real Madrid were directly related to the poor performances of these three players. Carlo Ancelotti's tactical deployment did not bring much surprise in this match. He chose Bale to play as the right-back, Jovic as the center-back, and Odriozola as the defensive midfielder. Such arrangements put these three players under tremendous pressure when facing a formidable Barcelona. Barcelona's attack line was luxurious, with Rafinha on the left wing possessing great speed and dribbling ability; midfielders Lewandowski, Gavi, and Pedri had excellent skills and默契配合, putting…

Barcelona's season has been nothing short of thrilling. After the arrival of renowned coach Flick at Camp Nou, the team managed to lead the La Liga standings with almost no new signings.

Following this, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid to claim their first title of the season, with Flick securing a decisive victory over Ancelotti in two matches. Now, they have another piece of good news. The team's solid defender Araujo has finally agreed to renew his contract. The Uruguayan defender's abilities are well-regarded, which is why he has been targeted by several top clubs. Barcelona is currently under significant financial pressure and experiencing internal turmoil, making it difficult to meet his salary demands. Rumors of his departure were rampant, but thanks to the efforts of the Barcelona management led by Deco, Araujo has reached an agreement with the club. His weekly salary has increased to 270,000 euros, and an official announcement is imminent. Additionally, the once-promising young talent Fati has become a marginal figure under Flick, failing to make the squad list for four consecutive games, indicating that his departure from Camp Nou is only a matter of time. At this point, Como's head coach Fabregas from Serie A has shown interest in bringing the former "new Messi" to his team, which is another piece of good news for Barcelona. The "veteran" De Jong,…
