What's happening at Barcelona isn't normal – Figo

Figo: "What's happening at Barcelona isn't normal"


Ex Real Madrid player Luis Figo has given his opinion on La Liga giants, Barcelona’s recent dismal performances and defeats.  The Portuguese who also played for the Catalans but left in year 2000 said the problem does not lie with the players. 

 “ I don’t normally speak to the Catalan press, but I’ll make an exception. 

Teams function on group dynamics. What’s happening to Barcelona isn’t normal. Losing so many games isn’t logical but when you’re in that situation everything that can go wrong does. It is a question of dynamics, not the quality of the players.”

“What happened with us under Queiroz?” I can’t explain it, what can I tell you? When you’ve been playing well all season and in one-week results go against you… these things happen, that’s sport, and only people who have played the game can understand how it is.”
“But the Liga has opened up and anything can happen.Things become more tense and there is a narrower margin of error and that is when the character of sides becomes apparent.  If you’re in a positive dynamic, you score three or four goals. If you’re in a negative one you can’t hit a rainbow. But you can’t question the quality of the players.” The retired footballer said.

Birthday celebrations: Barcelona midfielder, Mascherano defends Ronaldo

Barcelona midfielder, Javier Mascherano has joined the likes of Real Madrid legend, Luis Figo and Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent,Jordge Mendes to defend the Real Madrid star who was criticised by fans for ‎celebrating his birthday shortly after his team suffered a heavy defeat on Saturday.
‎The Argentine told reporters that  footballers are humans too and are also entitled to pursue personal interests.
 “Everyone lives as he likes and I am not somebody who will tell somebody else how they should live their life. We are people, human beings. Often people forget that beyond being professionals and beyond being in front of a camera, we have personal lives as well and can live as we choose.

“Let’s not forget that we are people and we have the right to live our life in the private sphere and people need to understand that.” He concluded.‎

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi may not be the best ever- Luis Figo

Former Barcelona and‎ Real Madrid player, Luis Figo in a recent promotional event debunked the notion that World best footballers, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are the best players ever. Well, his thoughts.

Unfortunately he didn’t spill the names of the players better than the two football greats but added that the duo make the difference than any other player.
He told reporters.
“I think this year, the Champions League will be won by either Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Bayern or Chelsea. I think there’s almost a monopoly [in La Liga] between
the two strongest teams of all time in Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Messi and Cristiano are players who make the difference more so than anyone else. I’ve had the
pleasure of playing alongside great players, both as teammates and opponents, possibly better than Cristiano and Messi.”
