Barcelona 1-1 Eibar: Match Review; Koeman continues to disappoint

First Half
A week after his departure, Barcelona returned to the Camp Nou to face Eibar. José Luis Mendilibar's men often concede more goals at Camp Nou. However, Lionel Messi, who was out of today's game, was not there to score as many goals as he did earlier this year. Ronald Koeman has decided to go with the same construction for Real Valladolid.

 
Martin Braithwaite did not have a good start to the game. Big Dane missed a penalty in the first five minutes. Ronald Araujo won the place behind the corner. Braithwaite then continued his grief by scoring an illegal offside goal. Junior Firpo's movement was at an all-time high, but he was caught falling offside.
 

The VAR then had to make another decision as Eibar could receive a fine. Oscar Mingueza stepped in and tried to weaken the attacker. After a lengthy review, the referee did not fine the guests.

All in all, this performance in the first half was a great promise - some of the most recognizable marks on the home side have been reduced by some of the top scorers. Mendilibar read the Blaugrana line well and often swallowed the hosts.

Second half

After a show-off in the first half, Koeman decided to remove Sergiño Dest, who needed the most, Ousmane Dembélé. Oscar Mingueza complemented the American as Barça regained their 4-2-3-1 standings.
 
Dembélé was healthy for the first few minutes. The Frenchman made several runs in the back, and Pedri picked him up from a distance. The good pass of the boy reached the winger's feet, but the latter could not score. After one minute, Araujo will make a mistake and lose the ball in front of goal. Kike ran with the ball and scored. After ruling for the first few minutes, Barça went to the rear.
Many Culés panicked, Koeman took Antoine Griezmann and Miralem Pjanic to Philippe Coutinho and Francisco Trincão. Cout was injured as he pulled his miniscule. A few minutes after the change, two players Junior Firpo and Coutinho followed by a cross will end up on Dembélé's path. The Frenchman, after crossing a clear chance earlier, has measured his side.
 
In conclusion, after such a good performance last week, Barça was disappointed at the Camp Nou. Koeman will have to reconsider his tactics. Eibar is often beaten at the Camp Nou, not beating them or getting a satisfactory result is frustrating.

Did Lionel Messi become football's second billionaire player in the world?

Yess, he is the 2nd football player to become billionaire after CR7, But he is now the highest earning athlete on the planet. Let's see what is his networth now and how it happened. Net worth : £309 million ($400m) Source of wealth: Football contracts, endorsement deals, investments Messi's net worth is estimated to be around as of 2020. These figures are speculative, though, especially as his business interests tend not to be widely publicised. Forbes ranked Messi 1st among athletes on their list of the top100 highest-earning celebrities of 2019, putting his income for the year at $127m (£98m), and fourth overall, making him the best-earning footballer and athlete in the world. He was $18m ahead of Ronaldo and $22m ahead of Neymar, the next athletes on the list. The Barcelona forward's latest salary package will certainly keep him among the richest active sportsmen on the planet over the next few years.

Does Koeman deserve another chance at BARCELONA?

Though i respect Koeman as a Barcelona Legend but for me Ronald koeman is simply not a coach Barca need at the moment, though he has done a great job by accepting a job at the worst time in the club's history, he has done a great job with the players he has, he does have a cule heart and is pretty much involved in the teams' dynamics intensely, took charge of club in their worst time in history while leaving his easier job at Netherland's national team is something everyone liked but he is not that great coach, which barca need at the moment. Starting a season with the worst record since Rijkaard era, but improving in the latter part of the season is great but it all came against weaker opponents, his tactics and game awareness lacks everytime he coach, his record against top 4 Spanish teams are even worst, shows his incompetency to compete tactically, worst record at camp nou has been produced during his tenure. Barcelona's results in La Liga against the o...

Match Analysis (Barca vs Bilbao) (1-1)-A Wakeup call

Playing vs Athletic in Bilbao is always a difficult task for Barça, and the game yesterday was no exception. However, it was an important wake-up call for Koeman and his players. Question is – Did he listen to the alarming sounds or will we see more games like this. It’s fair to say that Athletic Bilbao were the better team vs Barça, that failed to dominate the game. Moreover, the defense looked very bad. However, there were some good points to take from the game. Let’s start with them: Good Points Although it’s just the start of the season, the signing of Memphis Depay looks like a ‘Bingo’ so far. After Leo Messi left, Memphis quickly turned out as the main force in the Blaugrana attack. Yesterday it felt like he was there all alone trying to score and assist. Moreover, other players ruined good chances he created. And yes I’m talking about the awful miss of Braithwaite in the first minutes. The game could develop a lot different if he scored that goal. But overall great p...
