Put together some interesting data on the most completed dribbles across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 this season, and thought id share here.

Yamal is top with 30, from 50 tried. Mbappé is right behind on 29 from 48, and Madrid have three of the top five with Bellingham and Diomande too.

Yamal and Mbappé both complete 60% of what they 'try'. Bellingham is the tidiest of the top five at 70%.

He's also level for the most assists in La Liga with 5.

This will be an interesting stat between Yamal & Mbappe this season, especially given Real's landscape of attackers too. I'd love to hear your thoughts: who takes this one by the end of the season?

I am an autistic person, and my current special interest is FC Barcelona.

I started by tracking only the women’s team during the 26/27 Champions League, but I eventually decided to include the men’s team as well.

I want to document the journey of both teams in the Champions League; I’m recording the scores, lineups, statistics, substitutions, MVP, a summary of the goals, and a note on the most notable moments I observed during each match.

I also enjoy drawing, so I’ve illustrated the club crests and decorated the covers of the notebooks where I keep these records (apologies if some of the crests didn’t turn out perfectly).

I wanted to share this with others who also love football and Barça.

Sorry for the spam, but I needed the words for my first question...

I’m going to be going to watch Sabah vs Barcelona in Azerbaijan and need help, to try and get a photo with any player, possible. Is it possible to maybe come early for the match to catch them coming from the bus, or maybe after the game?,

I wouldn’t be able to go to any of the hotels, so that’s out of the situation. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

How would it impact the team,the tactics snd the minutes of the players?

Yeah ik we had him last year too but this year we have basically 2 more midfielders besides him

We got Rodri this summer and Bernal and Gavi returned while Casado went out on loan

How would everything change and what would be the pivot?

Personally I am quite confused ngl

I think Flick would play a 4231 more than a 433 but the pivots and everything is a question

There is Pedri,Rodri and De jong now

Not to mention Bernal and Gavi who have been getting subbed on a bit recently but with limited minutes

With de jong it would be even harder

Not to mention 5 DMs mean u cant js sub on 2 after playing 2 i think the competition may increase more than we imagined

Edit:Guys I am not saying this is a problem i am js wo during the changes

My sister and I are going to the El Classico game. My little nephew who is 10months old will be with us too. I already got our tickets for my
sister and I but I read somewhere that babies need a ticket / baby pass? I emailed Barca club about it but i didn’t get any reply yet.

People who’ve been to games with a baby, how did you get a pass / did you need a ticket?

I don't know if this has been discussed enough after the Gala match, but in the first half, Lamine was visibly frustrated on a few occasions when the ball wasn't played to him.

I felt we were sometimes too eager to force that final-third pass, and most of those attempts were either intercepted or deflected, eventually allowing Gala to hit us on the counter. Rodri, in particular, seemed to deliberately slow things down rather than force the pass.

Even in his post-match comments, Rodri mentioned that the adjustment at half-time was to wait a little longer and take an extra touch or two to open up the opposition's defensive compactness before attempting the final pass.

What do you guys think? Are we becoming too impatient in the final third, trying to force verticality when a bit of pausa would help us create better openings? Or was the issue more about the timing of the passes themselves? Because, especially in the first half, I sometimes felt the ball wasn't played at the right moment either.

Curious to hear your thoughts on the balance between playing vertically and being patient in possession.

1- PSG still the team to beat, obv they had some luck last season but on their best they are still the most complete team in Europe and they get to rest their best players in ligue 1 on top, it's good to face them early on in a relatively low stakes match as to prepare for future knockout big games

2-City was no pushover either, Haaland + Bouaddi and Anderson double pivot showed its worth but admittedly when PSG were relaxed, now ofc I don't worry about a midfield battle with our best players but in a way city game will be a much harder version of Galtasaraay one (Tall strong striker upfront with pacey wingers and double pivot) so interested to see how that goes

3-Real Madrid might be the new set piece FC, I don't have any doubts about beating them in Camp Nou specially if Mourinho insists on the stinky Valverde Tchouameni double pivot but the combination of Arda Guler with all the giants in Espi Huijsen Bellingham and Rudiger could make a comfortable 2-0 lead become a 2-1 out of nowhere from a random corner

Overall everything we have to prepare for in the upcoming 2 weeks was honestly revealed just yesterday, only concerned about the most important game in El Classico being sandwiched between the other two but I trust Hansi Flick and his men to pull through

Lamine is on track to reach Messi's 778 appearance for Barca at about 31 years old!

If he avoids injuries he has a very good chance of overtaking Messi's assist numbers.
But he might need over 1000 matches to reach 672 goals xD

With the collab just releasing. I was wondering if anyone here could give me an idea of what shipping to the US looks like/how long it could take?
When the Travis Scott collab released I bought the retro jersey and that took 4 months to arrive. I'm hoping that's not the case here. Website says shipping by 10/30 but I'm cautious.
Has anyone that bought the last collab more recently remember how long shipping took? Thank you

If Balde has only played 12 mins in 10 matches, and the 12 mins all came against Santander when we were already winning by a large margin, it shows that Hansi Flick does not have faith in Balde anymore.

And some of you might rush to defend him, and rightfully so since he has been plagued with injuries, but I'll say that not wanting to sell him because he is a La Masia player is not a good defense.

Just because he is a La Masia player does not mean he should get special treatment. He has not improved as much as other promoted players since his debut. His crossing and decision making in the final third is iffy. You might also say that Cancelo isn't that great defensively, and that Balde has the pace to help defend, but Cancelo at least offers something going forward.

We should also remember that Hansi Flick sees Balde in training on a day to day basis, so with the reportst that now say Balde is pushing for an exit combined with Flick not playing him, it's proof that he longer has a nailed on starting spot.

Was looking at some interesting data: Lamine has 31 key passes in La Liga so far this season, the most of any player in the big five leagues. Güler's next on 28.

It's 22% of Barça's total, and Barça have made more than anyone in La Liga (140). Next at the club is Pedri on 16.

He's got 7 goals and 5 assists on top, and 11 big chances created.

Eight games is still early. Is this the best start we've seen from him?
