The average culé is right

Palanca for me is Miguel Palanca, one of the protagonists of one of the most heroic matches -in the defeat- that I remind  of Real Madrid.

It was December 2008, before Mourinho, before all the last European Cups, before we knew how to grow to end that Barcelona of Alves, Xavi, Puyol, Busquets, Messi. All of them played that day, while Real Madrid was trained by Juande Ramos and chaired by Vicente Boluda. We have survived things like that.

Schuster had vilely erased himself from that game and from the season itself, and we went out with Metzelder in defense, Drenthe-Palanca bands (Sneijder was injured right after the start), a Raúl already on the mature side and Van der Vaart as the most representative signing. Barcelona still failed to score a goal until the 83rd minute, and the aforementioned Palanca had a great chance against Víctor Valdés. It could have been glorious.

Yeah, Real Madrid has not always been the one of the last fortnight of glorious years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUPUU5Ht8_M

What does this have to do with the average culé? Well, not much, but I have let myself be carried away by that memory because the fact is that Barcelona is now with the palancas, which consists of guaranteeing its present by seizing its future, which has been the Barcelona model for all these recent years.

They never take a step back, they continue with the best teams in all sports. If they have to pay Mirotic, they pay him. If they want to reinforce the women's side, they bring Luzy Bronze. Or if they have to dream of Bernardo Silva, they dream of him. One step back, never.

That, as Ted would say in How I Met Your Mother... is the problem of the Ted Laporta of the future.

But the problem is still there. If you spend much more than you earn... it's not just a matter of grabbing a float now, but of starting now to save costs. It doesn't look like they're going to do it.

But that's right: the average culé is right. Why does Barcelona have to comply with the financial regulations of the league, the rule of the third, I don't know what financial regulations? Why does the competitive Barça of these decades with people like Messi or Ronaldinho now have to settle for Aubameyang in his thirties? And for what? Does PSG comply with the rules?

Barcelona will never take a step back, and when the time comes it will become a company owned by Qatar or GS. They will not take a step back, another thing is that it belongs to their actual socis. But those actual owners, the socis, have already signed today that future demise of their current power. < p style="text-align: justify;">It's unsustainable, but they don't care. They prefer a Barça in foreign hands than an austere Barça that loses to Florentino's Real Madrid. They want Mirotic, Luzy, Bernardo. And they want them today. The average culé is right
