Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona once played a match together in Argentina way back in the year 2005, lt was actually a charity match , but famous footballers were there like Lionel Messi, Diego Maradona, Juan Sebastian Veron, Juan Roquel me and Redondo
Lionel Messi was 17 seventeen years old on the crusp of greatness and the aging genius Diego Maradona was 45, forty five years old.
Actually both of these clubs Tottenham Hotspurs and Sheffield United swanted to sign up the young Argentinean footballer Diego Maradona, who who was only seventeen.
1) First Sheffield United went too Argentina for a meeting with Diego Maradona agent nd club.
But the deal did not go through as their demands were far to much for the English club.
2)Tottenham Hotspurs owners and scout flew to Argentina to try and get a deal done, and they succeeded..
The amount was 1,500 pounds for a seventeen ear untried youngster..
But then the militarry police arrived at ghe hotel where the English were staying.The military police demanded a commission of another 1,500 pounds.Tottenham Hotspurs refused to pay and the deal collapsed.
After the 1986 world cup held in Mexico, which Argentina won .
But it was a combination of winning the world cup as well as knocking England out of the world cup, tht made him a mini God in Argentina..
We have to go back to history England had Argentina as a English colony and they introduced football in Argentina.So the anger and hate were always there to the English.
But then in the year 1982 Argentina and England fought a war over yhe FALKLAND island, it was called the Falkland war.
Argentina thought England could not fight a sar from such a far off country.
But England sent their navy and aircraft carriers, with their Harrier jets jets that took of vertically. England then defeated Argentina and reclaimed Falkland..
When Diego Maradona scored a hand of God goal and the goal of the century and so nocked their eternal enemy England out of the quarter finals. He became a God.
The Brazilian famous left back Roberto Carlos has said that he nearly joined up with Chelsea in the year 2007, after he left Real Madrid, where he played for eleven long years..
It was almost a done and dusted deal as Roberto Carlos had a meeting in Paris with the Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich..
But the problem arose right at the end before he signed up it was caused by the lawyer.
Roberto Carlos then joined up with the Turkish club Fener Bache. for two years.
Roberto Carlos also said when he was young and playing for the Brazilian club, Aston Villa saanted to buy him but failed to agree the transferfee, it was to much for he Villan, he then joined Inter Milan..
Now Barcelona after very long a stressful talks with the Barcelona players to take a pay cut from their yearly wages.
Barcelona wanted a total sum of 170, one hundrrd and seventy million pounds.
But they have agreed to a total of 110, a hundred and ten million pounds only ,still falling short of the target.
And they have agreed to take a pay cut of 45,forty five million pounds on their add ons.
Mind you they have already taken 70 seventy percent pay cut .
I wonder how many clubs footballers would come to bail their club. It was nmainly due to te Pandemic the Chinese Virus
Now after the death of Diego Maradona recently people were asking after all how much money did Diego Maradona leave the family.
Now Diego Maradona 's long time friend and advocate Mr. Angelo Pinzani has said that Diego Maradona left only 75,000 seventy five thousand pounds.
But the lawyer says he has a total of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds, in property and cars , he has a Porsche, B.M.W. Audi, a Rolls Royce and a Mercedes Benz. Some of them were given to him as a gift while he was a manager of a Dubai football club.
Now he had four wives and five children , and he claimed that one son was not his own child even.
Like saying goes WHERE THERE IS A WILL, THERE IS A RELATIVE..
Now ladies will come forward claiming their share..
It will be a long fought battle etween the heirs and even absolute strangers.
A great deal is said and written about yhe many goals scored by Pele, Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. All have scored sacks of goals in their long and glittering careers.
But one point is forgotten sadly here by the millions of football fans around the world.
But what fans do not know is that inthe days of Pele and Diego Maradona the distance between the two goal posts were much smaller, so scoring goals were more difficult.
But then F.I.F.A changed the rules after the 1994 world cup F.I.F.A decided to imcrease the breadth of the goal, as it was decided by F.I.F.A to increase the size of the goalposts .
The reason being that for many world cups say 1974 , the player winning the GOLDEN BOOT at a world cup all scored six goals, in the 1958 world cup Just Fountaine scored 13, thirteen goals., this record still stands.
The club that held on to the the famous cup called the F.A. Cup, it is now called THE EMITAES F.A .Cup. This is the oldest cup played by clubs in England.
Now which club held on to this F.A cup for the most years. in football history?
By the way the F.A. cup is the oldest cup played for by clubs in England, it goes back to 1880s.The club called Portsmouth a small fishing village, had won the F.A. cup in the year 1937/1938. Then world war two started and there was naturally no football during the years of war.
So Portsmouth ten kept on to the F.A .Cup till the year 1946/1947.
Since the time the first world cup was played back in the year 1930 in Uruguay, thousands of footballers have played this beautiful game and till 2018 world cup in Russia.
Now I find that there have been only two famous footballers to go and single handedly win a world cup for their country.
1) The Brazilian wizard Garricha THE LITTLE BIRD>. He won the wporld cup in 1962 for Brazil.
2) Diego Maradona with Argentina in the yrear 1986.
Please note Brazil had a very gopod team and big names as well. But the Argentinean team was a average team.
Diego Maradona was born in the slums of Buenos Aires, he had seven siblings. His is a story is from RAGS TO RICHES. His favorite pas time was kicking tin cans used in the 1950s for jams, fruits and fish. Being a street urchin he would kick the can for hours juggle it and dribble with it. till the can lost its shape. He then took the next can and started all over.
But tings were to change drastically, as one day Mr Caesar Luiz Menotti saw the little boy playing on the road and was greatly impressed by the boys footwork. Now Cesaer Luis Menotti was the coach for Argentina in the 1978 world cup, which Argentina won, then defeating Holland and Johan Cruyff and his boys. The hero then was the goal scorer Mario Kempe's..
Diego Maradona got him to join a club called THE LITTLE ONIONS ,for small boys., Diego Maradona had made his first step of fame and glory there.. He then progressed to Boca Juniors before being sold to Barcelona for five million pounds..
After Argentina won te 1978 world cup at a confrone held by the Argentinean team at a conference , Mr Menotti introduced a 17, seventeen year old boy, who was not old enpughto drink even .
Mr menotti said this is Diego Armanda Maradona , he will be the next Argentinean wizard watch and wait will you.
How correct he was Diego Maradona , single handedly won the world cup for Argentinea inthe year 1986.
The Italian football club Napoli from Naples, have now.gone and decided to rename their famous stadium from the old name of Sao Paulo to THE DEIGO M ARMANDA MARADONA STADIUM.
Now both the owner and president of Napoli as well as the mayor of Naples have gone and given the green light to do so.
After all Deigo Maradona was Napoli and napoli was Diego Maradona, was teir favourite son, who made Napoli, a under rated club champions in Italy and won the U.E.f.a cup in Europe.
But let me very honest here Diego Maradona made Napoli and Napoli and Naples destroyed him he picked up his cocaine problem here.
The Argentinean captain single handedly won the world cup for Argentina in the year 1986 in Mexico.
He Diego Maradona did not win the Golden Boot, That was that year won by Gary Lineker. of England.
But the 1986 quarter final match played between England and Argentina is spoken about even today and the English are still very angry over it, and still feel cheated.
In the match Diego Maradona illegally used his hand to score a goal, if you look at that particular picture very closely it shows the English goalkeeper Peter Shilton comes forward to punch the ball, but he misses it by inches, but Diego Maradona can be seen with both of his eyres shut as he was afraid Peter Shilton would punch him.. Maradona said he would gladly score one goal with his left hhand and one with his right hand..
But Why do the Argentineans hate the English?Now England and Argentina fought a naval war over a Island near Argentina called FALKLAND ISLANDS., both claimed the Island. England sent a few aircraft carriers and their HARRIER jets anfd defeated the Argentinean navy.
The Argentinean footballer Diego Maradona was a wizard on the pitch he was very happy with a ball on his feet, but was a monster of the field his cocaine problem was very well known so was his drinking problem, and he wanted to enjoy himself of the pitch, he put on a great deal of fat, and had to under go surgery to remove excess fat by surgery. He suffered a heart attack back in 1987, and recently he had a brain surgery of the blood clot in the brain, and he recovered from it but on 26/11/2020 he told his nephew he was not feeling to well , and later died of a cardiac arrest, he was born in 1960 and died on 2020, he was sixty years old .
He was married four times and had five children,his daughter from the first wife married the Argentinean footballer Sergio Aguero, but were divorced in 2012.
The famous Argentinean footballer Diego Maradona who was a rare breed of a footballer from street urchin living in a slum near Buenos Aires to play for Boca Juniors, Barcelona and Napoli. He also won the world cup in Mexico with Argentina. in the year 1986.
But he was a wizard on the pitch and he was spo good built short and stocky could use both of his feet ,dribbled and danced his way through entire teams to score some memorial goals.
He was a player like Lionel Messi and Ronaldinho who all three had sacks of tricks ,and some said that even these three footballers were so good no one knew what they would do, even they may not have known what they were going to do.. Maradona joined Barcelona for aa short time but never did anything special.
But after the 1986 world cup he joined the Italian club Napoli in Naples. Now Napoli was a very small club with not winning any trophies in their history. But all changed after Diego Maradona came to Napoli., the club did not have any football stars with them, so Maradona had to single handedly won the Scudetto twice in 1987 and 1989, Napoli also won the U.E..F.A cup in 1991.
But along came the night life and his cocaine problem came with getting a eight month ban as well..
He also took Argentina to the 1990 world cup final against West Germany.
by sa penalty.
Now David Beckham who has very well retired from football, but now he has gone and made more money then when he was playing football at Manchester United, Real Madrid, Los Angles Galaxy or P.S.G.
He is on the F.I.F.A 21 and is getting a massive 40,forty million pounds for it.
Actually F.I.F.A first only offered 30, thirty million pounds , but hey then agreed to raise it to 40,forty million pounds.
The Norwegian striker the young 20,twenty year old Erling Burt Holland , who recently won the GOLDEN BOY award.
And now playing for the German club Borussia Dortmund in the champion league he has gone and written his name into the rerecord books in the champion league.
He has now gone and scored the fastest sixteen goals in far fewer games compared to the other scorers.
He has now scored the goals faster then the Brazilian pair of Ronaldo Nazario and Adriano.
Arsenal have decided that Mitchel Bergkamp the sun of ythe former Arsenals legend Dennis Bergkamp, who had gone and joined the Arsenals youth academy, for he under 23 years , he was told that he was not good enough.
well this is not the first time that a son of former footballer had failed to qualify as a youth player at Arsenal.
In fact the famous David Beckham's three sons failed to make the grade at Arsenal's youth academy.
While in Spain the French world cup winner Zinedine Zidane's three sons also failed to make it further in their Real Madrid career, they are no longer playing for Real Madrid.
Maybe we are expecting too much from the boys , we want them to be just ss good as their famous fathers, but each child ids different you see.
Now if rumours are to beloved then the French club P.S.G are planning to sell their Brazilian striker Neymar.
The reason for this is that as Edison Cavani has been released on a free transfer, they are planning to hold on to their young striker Kylian Mbappe, who has contract hat expires.
And he wants a fresh challenge and most likely it is sunny Spain and Real Madrid.
P.S.G want to tempt him with a mouth watering contract.
Now Barcelona have to pay the German club Borussia Dortmund ,a sum of 4.5 four and a half million pounds.
Now you may be asking why is it so?
In the contract signed between Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona would have to pay Borussia Dortmund, for the signing of Ousmane Dembale .
Now the contract said if the French footballer plays 25, twenty five games for Barcelona then Barcelona will have to pay the German club 4.5 four and a half million pounds.. And now he has played 50, fifty games for Barcelona they had to pay 4.5.four and a half million pounds., and also for game 75, seventy five and game 100.
Now Manchester City have gone and decided that they would now prefer to buy Jack Grealish from West Ham United.
They have decided this after considering the age and huge yearly salary of Lionel Messi, as he is already 33, thirty three years old and has a yearly salary adding all things 100 one hundred million Euros or 88, eighty eight million pounds..
But Jack Grealish will not be coming cheap either as he has a 100, one hundred million pounds buy out clause in his contract. So his weekly salary will also be high.
Gerrard Pique te Barcelona central defender and in ther match with Atletico Madrid, which Barcelona lost1=0.
But Barcelona will be more worried about Gerrard Pique , who has now gone and damaged his lignament and will be out of action for a period of four to five months and that is a long time.
Now Manchester City have g one and taken a decision where the signing up of the Argentinean striker Lionel Messi is concerned , and it is really bad news for the Manchester City fans.
Now Manchester City have decided that they will not be signing Lionel Messi in the summer transfer window.
The reason being they have just realized this very morning that Lionel Messi is too old to play for Manchester City, and they can not pay his huge yearly salary as well.
Typical of a Arab oil club, did the talkin and got Pep Guardiola to sign up a new contract at Manchester City.
One thing is very sure here they will not win the Champion League as Sergio Aguero is injured and his contract expires in the summer.
And Fernandinho hsas his contract expiring in the summer as well. And they have failed to replace Vincent Kompany as well.
Now the young Cameroon born footballer Yossuufaou Muskoka at the very tender age of 16,sixteen years became now the youngest footballer to score a goal in the Bundesliga.
Borussia Dortmund managed to convince the German F.A . to kindly reduce the age for youngsters starting a match from 16 1/2 years to 16, sixteen years.
You could very well see a future Balloon d'OR winner here.
But as Lionel Messi had put two conditions for him to join up with Manchester City. And they were that Pep Guardiola should sign a new contract with Manchester City. And the second one is that fellow Argentinean striker Sergio Aguero should remain at Manchester City.
But Sergio Aguero is already thirty one years old , and is getting injured far to often as well these days. And his contract expires in this summer..
But Manchester City are looking for a long time replacement for Sergio Aguero, and those shortlisted to replace are Latuaro Martinez who has a 99, ninety nine million pounds buy out clause.
Another one being looked at is the Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku, who is playing for Inter Milan, who value him at 93, ninety three million pounds.
Another striker looked at is the Uruguayan Darwin Nunez, who plays for Benfica.
The German club Borussia Dortmund have a young sixteen year old wonder lid in their youth academy,and he is even better then Burt Erling Harland. He is only sixteen hears old .
His name is Yousofa Muskoka, he was originally born in Cameroon, and stayed with his grandfather. But as his father was living in Germany he joined the Borussia Dormund youth academy, after they bought him from Hertha Berlin for a small fee of 500,000 five hundred thousand pounds.
This kis could go a long way better them Jordan Sancho, Burt Erling Halaand.
Now he has scored 141 one hundred and forty one goals in a total of 84, eighty four games only.
He could be the futurre GOLDEN BOY>
Now Arsenal and their Brazilian born footballer Edu, who is now the sporting director for .
Arsenal.
Now Marco Leonardo is a 17, seventeen year old striker at he Brazilian famous club Santos. The club had produced strikers like Neymar, Rodrygo and Gabtail..
Even though he is only seventeen years he has scored a over 100,hundred goals.
But santos is demanding Arsenal pay his buy out clause of 45,forty five millionpounds.
Now the Brazilian club Santos has a younster named Marco Leonardo and he is only seventeen years old.
But he has scored well over a 100, hundred goals, for Santos.
Now Arsenal and their Brazilian former footballer Edu,,who is the sporting director of Arsenal is trying to buy him.
But Santos are demanding that Arsenal should pay he entire buy outy clause, which stands at 45, forty five illion pounds.
He could be the next Gabriel Marinelli.
In a match played between Spain and Germany, the Spaniards thrashed Germany by a huge score of 6-0. And the saddest thing here Germany were a team that we all had to worry as they were a very strong and a very balanced team..
But Ferlin Torres had a hat rick as well..
Now this is the first time I think that Manuel Neuer has let in six goals for club and country.
The last time a country scored six goals against Germany was way back in the1958 world cup when then they were two countries East Germany and West Germany, and West Germany lost to Hungary in the group stages.
It was during Hungary's GOLDEN PERIOD the PUSKAS TIME.
Lionel Messi who will be a free agent in the summer transfer window has now said that he has two main conditions for him to join Manchester City..
1) They are tat fellow Argentinean striker Sergio Aguero should be at Manchester City.
2) And Pep Guardiola should still be a manager at Manchester City,
Now Sergio Aguero is going to be a free agent in the summer transfer window, and he has a very big desire to join his childhood club Independienta., so will he stay .now?
Pep Guardiola has just signed up a new contract with Manchester City., till 2023.
Now the entire football team from Gabon who had gone to play in the qualifying games for the African Cup Of Nations
Now they were playing Gambia, but the Gambian government had all the Gabon players staff arrested ayt the airport and had their passports taken away..
The Gabon footballers were seen sleeping on the floor of the airport.
The reason being The Gabon footballers had taken thir COVID 19,medical reports with them, but Gambia refused to value those medical certificate, .
Here the Gambian government are guilty of this as te Gabon fiotballers werte not terrorists but guests of the country of Gambia , and should treat them as guests of their country and not as terrorists.
Arsenal are very keen to buy te young 18, eighteen year old Brazilian footballer Bennar from the Brazilian club Santos.
The Sporting director Edu, who had played for Arsenal, and is from Brazil as well., is trying to get him for Arsenal, but Santos are demanding that his buy out clause of 45, forty five million pounds.. And Brener has a duel passport a Brazilian passport and a Italian passport.
Something like Gabriel Martinelli. who is Brazilian but hs a Italian father and also a Italian passport.
But Arsenal are not keen topay this high pay out clause, and want it cut .
The president of the Spanish La Liga , has now come out to say that the Spanish La Liga are now quite ready to release the Argentinean striker Lionel Messi from Barcelona in the summer transfer window.
It is a after 20, twenty years at Barcelona.
And it is not going to maker any difference in the the Spanish La Liga ,as we saw the departure of win the Spanish La Liga last yyear.
He also said that Cristiano Ronaldo from Spanish giants Real Madrid in 2018, and Real Madrid did stadiun from NOU CAMP to the LIONEL MRESSI STADIUM.win the Spanish La Liga in the year 2018/2019.
He also said that Barcelona should name their famous stadium from theNOU CAMP TO THE LIONEL MESSI STADIUM.
Ray Clemence the former Liverpool Tottenham Hotspurs and England goalkeeper as sadly died due to prostrate cancer., he was suffering from prostrate cancer from the year 2005, but he died peacefully in his sleep surrounded by his family.
He had a great rivalry for the famous England jersey number 1. with Peter Shilton in the 1990s.
He was with Liverpool during their golden years and help win the champion league, F.A and league cups we must not for get the champion league cups which Liverpool won woith Ian rush , Kenny Dalglish and Graeme Soanes.
Barcelona have been trying to do a sale deal with Manchester City, for their Spaniard Eric Garcia, as a long replacement for their aging central defender Gerard Pique.
Now Eric Garcia is a graduate from the famous Barcelona youth academy the LA MASIA, THE CASTLE. He has bluntly decided to refuse to sign a new contract with Manchester City.
Manchester City are asking a sum of 13.5, thirteen and a half million pounds.
But Barcelona are not willing to pay this huge amount as he will be a free agent in the summer transfer window.
The French giants P.S.G have now come forward to offer the Spain and Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, a real juicy offer which he will be finding very difficult to turn down.
Sergio Ramos had joined Real Madrid from the Spanish club Seville, and is today considered as the best central defender in the world, but he is a very dirty player and is proudly holding the Spanish record for the most red cards in the La Liga history with 29, twenty nine red cards.
Now P.S.G are willing to give him a three year contract and are also willing to pay him a yearly salary of18, eighteen million pounds.
Real Madrid are only offering him a one year contract..
Now Thiago Silva, has left P.S.g for Chelsea.
Now the Chelsea ladies team have two lady players Magdalena Eriksen and Pernille Harder.
Now Pernille Harder is from Sweden and Magdalena Eriksen is from Denmark, and are now in a relation., but that is heir own choice and their own lives.
Butthey are very good footballers they have won quite a few trophies.
And have played for their respective countries in the Olympics, European Cup and the ladies champion league as well.
They have a total of 160, one hundred and sixty caps for their countries.
Barcelona will now have to pay Lionel Messi a Loyalty Bonus at the end of the season.
And even if Lionel Messi decides to leave Barcelona at the end of the season 2020/2021, or even if he decides to stay on.
Barcelona will have to pay him a loyalty bonus of30, thirty million pounds.
Now actually the entire amount is actually 63, sixty three million pounds, sand Barcelona have paid 33, thirty three million pounds already.
This will have to be paid even if Lionel Messi signs a new contract evcen.
This is the statics of Lionel Messi at Barcelona and for Argentina.
1) GAMES. 882. Eight hundred and eighty two
2) Goals. 771, Seven hundred and seventy one only.
3) Assists 300. Three hundred.
4) Hat tricks 54. Fifty Four.
5) Games won. 603.Six hundred and three.
6) Games Lost. 111. One hundred and eleven only.
7) Drawn Games. 96.
Please note Cristiano Ronaldo has played over 1020 , one hundred and thousand and twenty games.
.
Now with Barcelona and many clubs facing bg financial losses due to the Corona Virus, they and other clubs will greatly have to depend on promoting their young talented players from the youth academy..
Barcelona have now promoted a young 17,seventeen year old boy named Alejandro Balde, into the first team .
He was originally from Espanyol youth academy, Barcelona brought him. By trade he uis a left back and will now challenge the aging Jordi Alba, who was got from Valencia..
Alejandro Balde is a black footballer so he is naturally stronger, fast and having good stamina .
He could now be the net big player to play for Barcelona from THELA MASIA, THE CASTLE., their very famous youth academy.After Ansu Fati.
There were people saying no big footballer has come from Barcelona's famous LA Masia since Sergio Busquets.
Lionel Messi was just a five year old boy and had gone to see his brother Matthaeus play for a club Gandoli in Argentina.
Now that coach of the club was the late Salvador Patrachi , and a boy failed to turn up to make the eleven players.
He then asked Lionel Messi's mother if she would allow Little Lionel Messi to fill up the absent boy.s place. But the mother flatly refused saying he was far to small to play. But it was his grandmother who demanded that he go and play. It was this grandmother who played and kicked the ball with Lionel Messi, as a little boy. And every time Lionel messi scores a goal he puts his hands t the heavens for his grandmother who drilled football into him.
Now in the first game Linel Messi did not do anything.But l a little later he impressed the coachand these were his words I could really see that this boy was very special,he was born to play football only., and the fire in the belly to deliver on the pitcch was bvery high for a small boy.
The REST IS HISTORY>
The Spanish central deefender and captain Sergio Ramos has now become the most capped footballer ever.
He hhas now won a total of 177, one hundred and seventy seven caps for Spain.
He has now created a new record , and has now overtaken the famous Italian goalkreper Gianluigi Buffons record of 176, one hundred and seventy six caps for Italy.
But it was a night to forget for Sergio Ramos, in the match with Switzerland, he came from the bench and missed two penalties.
Mind you he has scored 25, twenty five penalties for Spain.
In the history of the Spanish La Liga, there have only been three clubs that have never been ever relegated in their history, and they are as follows.
1) Barcelona.
2) Real Madrid.
3) Atletico Bilbao..
And only three Barcelona players have been applauded by their arch rival Real Madrid fans at their stadium Santiago Bernabeu. And they are as follows.
1) Ronaldinho.
2) Lionel Messi
3)Andres Iniesta.
The date was 19/5/2005 and Lionel Messi who was just 19,nineteen years old boy then and he also wore the jersey number 19, as well.
In this match against the La Liga club Getafe. Lionel Messi, then took the ball from his goal area and with one fantastic run and display he ran ragged the entire Getafe team and went and scored a wondersolo goal, which is still fresh in the minds of the Barcelona and world fans.
Lionel Messi had introduced himself to the very big world of football, and he did it in style too.
What ever did happen to the then wonderkid John Bostock?
He was wanted at thirteen years from real big clubs like Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham hotspurs Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan.
But he chose the English club Tottenham Hotspurs, but he never did progress there and his career went a steep downhill.
He played for 13, thirteen different clubs in a period of 13,thirteen years.
He played for clubs like Sheffield Wednesday, Nottingham Forest, Swindell Town and so on.
In the beginning Barcelona wanted to give him a ten year contract, but I can honestly say Barcelona escaped a bullet here.
Lionel Messi is really from another planet, as these statics will prove.
1 Lionel Messi has a total of 33. thirty three Free Kicks.
2) Juventus entire club have only 31. Free Kicks.
3) RealMadrid have 26. Free Kicks.
4) A.S. Roma. Have 24. Free Kicks.
So he is absolutely insane here.He is single handily better ten some giant football clubs.
Now it is reported that Real Madrid are also facing big financial problems.
Now Real Madrid did not make any buying in the summer transfer window.
And they have put on hold the buying of Kylian Mbappe from P.S.G..
And the Real Madrid players decided not to take any bonus money for winning the Spanish La Liga title for the year 20219/2020.
But the club are planning to redevelop their famous Santiago Bernabeu , and it will be costing them a total of 6500, five hundred million pounds.
The Board of Barcelona had a ongoing meeting with their lawyers and the players to try and save the famous football club Barcelona from going bankrupt.
But the players failed to agree to any form of a pay cut. But all is not yet lost as a meeting is fixed for more of these talks to be held on 23/11/2020.
Now according to the byelaws of Barcelona, the club can not spend more then 70,seventy percent on the wages of their players. Now with the income hitting all football clubs due to the COVID 19, or the Chinese Virus, Barcelona is spending over 80, eighty percent of their earnings on players sages.
Only four players have agreed to take a pay cut at Barcelona, and they are Gerrard Pique, Clement Linglet,, Andres Ter Stergen. Frenkie De Jong.
But what will really happen to Barcelona if tey fail to agree terms ewith their players?
Barcelona could be relegated and be put under a admistratar, and could have nine points deducted for the new season as well.
Now the Spanish giants Barcelona are planning of redeveloping their famous stadium called the NOU CAMP.
Now what I can not understand is when the Spanish giants F.C. Barcelona are facing financial problems, mainly due to the high wages of these players, and Pandemic of the ugly Chinese Virus, or the COVID 19, has made the world fall in their knees economically.
So what is the need to build a bigger stadium, the plan is to have a stadium of sitting capacity of 1,5,0000.
Now Gerrard Pique te Barcelona youth academy graduate from Barcelona;s famous LA MASIA, THE CASTLE.
Has now come forward and said that he will be willing to get the money for the stadium work.
Please note here , he did not say he would pay all the money, he has said he will use his contacts to get the money, he is also a businessman, and his wife is the famous singer Shakira..
Gerrard Pique had arranged the Japanese company RAUKTEN , to sponsor the Barcelona jerseys.
Lionel Messi is now standing proudly on top of the world of football.
As he becomes the first and only footballer to score 711 ,seven hundred and eleven goals and have a total of 1000, one thousand goals and have 300, three hundred assists to his name here.
No footballer in football history has ever managed to achieve this magical figure.
1) Alan Shearer.
2) Diego Maradona.
3) Johan cruyff.
4) Gerd muller.
5) Sir Bobby Charlton.
The other day a report in THE MEDIA, said that P.S.G and Juventus were planning a swap deal between these two players Cristiano Ronaldo and with Neymar.
But this will not be working out as you see it is their very huge yearly salaries that will be the main stumbling block here.
Cristiano Ronaldo is getting a yearly salary of 28, twenty eight million pounds.
And neymar is getting 32, thirty two million pounds a year.
And mind you Juventus are only paying 14,fourteen million pounds to Cristiano Ronaldo. And another 14,fourteen million pounds is paid by Andres Agnelli, the owner of both Juventus as well as the F.I.A.T Car company.
So it will nkt be working out.
And P.S.G are in talks to give Neymar a long term contract for five years.
The young Uruguayan footballer Fredricho Valverde , who s playing his club football in Spain with the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Now he has done very well for himself with the club on the pitch.
But now after the game against Valencia, in which Valencia won the match with a score of 4-1.
But it is now discovered after the match that Valverde had gone and broken his leg, so he will be out of games for four too six weeks .
Now the former Arsenal captain Tony Adams has come out to say that it is Edu , Arsenals sporting director who is responsible for not getting the deal over the line, in the Jude Bellingham deal for 30, thirty million pounds.
The deal was fixed at 30,thirty million pounds in the year 2018/2019,

In the football world it s indeed very, very strange to see a manager asking a footballer for a jersey from a footballer. it is usually exchanged between the two players only.
Now the coach of the Ukrainian side Dynamo Kiev, Mircea Lucescu, who wanted a jersey from Lionel Messi after the champion league. game.
But unfortunately according to the new Covid 19 rules no player can exchange jerseys with anyone, and no shaking of hands is allowed.
But Lionel Messi obliged him by giving the Dynamo Kiev coach a brand new jersey number 10 of Barcelona.

1))He has now gone and played a total of 150 champion league games.
2) He has also scored 71, seventy seventy one goals in seventy five games.

The English footballer Harry Kane has now also gone and reached a important milestone in his career.
He has now gone and scored a total of 200, two hundred goals for the club Tottenham Hotspurs.

He has now gone and scored a total of a hundred goals for the Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Now it is very much a reality' that Barcelona are deep in financial problems. But what was the cause of all their problem.
Now Barcelona made bad buys at very costly loss. Players like the following.

The club paid theirwekly wages but could not let themplay a minute, till the ban was lifted.
5/11/2020 is indeed a very important day in the history of this very big and proud club F.C. Barcelona.
The club will have to talk with the football players from Barcelona drastically they will have to go and trim their huge wages of the footballers .
The amount expected to be trimmed down is a very huge sum, it is now coming to 171, one hundred and seventy one million pounds.
Failing which the famous club and Spanish giants could be facing bankruptcy straight in their faces.
This was a club that did not have a sponsorer n their famous stripped jersey. for 111, one hundred and one years. Barcelona then had U.N.I.C.E.F. on their jerseys here Barcelona were sponsoring U.N.C.I.E.F., on their jerseys they paid U.N.I.C.F. a sum of 25, twenty five million pounds for five years.

The Uruguayan striker Luis Suarez who had moved to Atletico Madrid, from Barcelona in the summer..
Now in the week Atletico Madrid while playing a game, the referee went to the V.A.R. to consult it
But Luis Suarez was cheekily looking over the shoulder of the referee at the V.A.R.. Luis Suarez was then shown a yellow card for his efforts.
But what I can not understand is this part of the F.I.F.A. byelaws?
Now looking at the V.A.R by Luis Suarez will not be able to change the decision made by the referee.
Now if a player gets five yellow cards he nmust miss a match. A bit too harsh I must say.
The Brazilian striker Neymar, who is playing his club football in France with P.S.G.
He was trying very hard to try and make a move to his old club Barcelona last summer.
Barcelona were not keen to buy him back at any price, mainly the reason, being the way he left Barcelona.
And Barcelona are financially in no position to even pay him his crazy fee of 32,thirty two million pounds a year.
Now P.S.G will have to agree a new long term deal ss Edison Cavani has left P.S.G for Manchester United.
Mattha the Brazilian ladies world cup captain has now gone and scored a total of 17,seventeen goals while paying for Brazil in the 2019, world cup.

The record for the F.I.F.A.s men's world cup is the German world cup winner Miroslav Klose, who has scored 16,sixteen goals in his time at the world cup.
Now Miroslav klose had broken the previous record of 15 , fifteen goals held by Ronaldo Nazario.
Now Martha has won six BALLOON d'OR , and five of them came in a row.
neither Lionel Messi nor Cristiano Ronaldo have managed to do this in their careers.
The Spanish giants Barcelona are now looking for a new striker for the famous jersey number 9. Which was worn by Luis Suarez, the Uruguayan striker who joined Barcelona from Liverpool, but at 33, thirty three years he was released by Barcelona,and he joined Atletico Madrid.
Now Barcelona were also looking for the Argentinean Lautaro Martinez,but Inter Milan are asking his full buy out clause of 100 one hundred million Euros, far too much I would say.
Now Barcelona are looking to sign another Uruguayan striker Darwin Nunes who plays at Benfica in Portugal, he is 21 ,twenty one years old. and will be costing only 21, twenty one million pounds.
The Belgian play maker Eden Hazard , who is now playing his club football with the Spanish giants Real Madrid.
He had joined Real Madrid from Chelsea for a very huge sum of 150, one hundred and fifty million pounds, and he is getting a weekly salary of 400,000, four hundred thousand pounds.
But sadly he has been a shadow of what he was at Chelsea.
Yes i do agree that injury, lack of goals and a loss of confidence , have all played a part in his life at Real Madrid.
As he has now scored his very first goal well after 380 odd days, you can say almost 400, four hundred days..
Last year he scored a goal or two at the very most
Now Liverpool play the match underdogs from Italy Atlanta in their champion league game., they play mighty Liverpool at their modest stadium The GEWISS Stadium, which has only sitting capacity of 21,000 twenty one thousand only.
But you can be sure that you may get a big shock at the end of the day., in Italy.
Some of tese stupid blind idiots who are Cristiano Ronaldo fans claim that the dwarf Lionel Messi can not score goals against big clubs in the world, he can only score against small clubs like Alves ,Eibar and Girona.
But these brainless idiots who are stupid should know that the top goal scorer in the La lgas El Clasico history is Lionel Messi with a total of 59, fifty nine goals in the EL Clasico played between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo does not come on top here.
After all there is no medical treatment for stupidity.
Now Lionel Messi has scored agoals against 34 different clubs, fur goals against Arsenal, 5,five goals against Bayern Leverkusen with five goals.
The former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was recently asked who was the footballer he really wanted to buy back for Arsenal, after leaving the club Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger said the footballer he really wanted to buy once again to play for Arsenal was the French striker Nicolas Anelka who played for Arsenal.
Now Arsene Wenger brought Nicolas Anelka from the French club P.S.G .For a very small amount of 500,000, five hundred thousand pounds, peanuts I would say, Arsene Wenger then was sold to Real Madrid for a huge sum of 23, twenty three million pounds.
But Arsene Wenger who had a chance to sign Nicolas Anelka from Real Madrid, but he refused to sign Nicolas Anelka, and he joined Bolton Wanderers..
Arsene Wenger said he did not like buying players once they left Arsenal, he would only buy players who were on free transfers only.
He never used the buy out clause in the Cesc Fabregas contract with Barcelona, mind you cesc Fabregas was a Arsenal darling then.
Now Liverpool have come and said back in the yearr 2003/2004, Liverpool were very keen on a youngster of about 17, seventeen years and at that time he was playing for the Portuguese club from Lisbon called Sporting Lisbon.
And he transfer fee for young Cristiano Ronaldo was a small sum of 4.5, four and a alf million pounds,and the two clubs then agreed for te transfer fee. But then where did it all go wrong for Liverpool.
But Liverpool could not agree to the high weekly salary which Cristiano Ronaldo was asking for..
Now the weekly wages asked by Cristiano Ronaldo, was the same as what Michael Owen was getting at Liverpool.
And mind you Michael Owen had just won the BALLON d'OR that year. So paying a kid who eas new to English football was not going to wwork here.
