The European Super League is dead for the moment, but we revisit some issues brought up in the early hours of the league’s announcement before it became no more. FC Barcelona, meanwhile, won both games this week against Getafe and Villareal, after Real Betis took points from Real Madrid, to keep the race for La Liga hotly contested.Watch Gabriel and Craig react to the European Super League: http://bit.ly/euro-super-league | Read about the new Champions League format here: http://bit.ly/UCL-format | Qatar Airways is the state-owned airline of the nation of Qatar.

Fans of the club have a lot to be happy about this week. FC Barcelona went to Sevilla to face Athletic Club for the Copa del Rey final, and it was more than just a victory. It was an absolute thrashing. Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong, and Lionel Messi all scored in the 4:0 demolition of the same team that bested Barca in the Supercopa final. The team overcame a scoreless first half to break down Athletic’s deep defense in the second half to start the goalscoring wave. With eight fixtures remaining in La Liga, and Barca trailing Atlético by only two points, this trophy comes at a crucial moment to motivate the team to the end of the season.

In El Clásico, Ronald Koeman sent a very young FC Barcelona team to face a strong Real Madrid, fresh off a Champions League win over Liverpool. Barcelona lost 2:1. It was their second loss to Real Madrid this year, who they haven’t beaten in two years now. But, the league wasn’t lost, an impressive feat for a team that we predicted would be fighting for fourth place earlier this season. Lionel Messi has given his demands to Joan Laporta, a reasonable set of requirements for him to continue with the club. Barca face Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey final next Saturday.

The second installment of El Clásico this season is coming this Saturday. We’re re-playing an episode from October, 2020 after the last Clásico. Barcelona lost 1:3, but they were tied at one goal for the majority of the game. Federico Valverde scored for Madrid in the 5th minute, and Ansu Fati tied it up three minutes later. It stayed that way until well into the second half, when Clement Lenglet gave up a penalty fouling Sergio Ramos in the box, which Ramos converted for the go-ahead goal, and Luka Modric put a third nail in Barcelona’s coffin in the 90th minute. Alejandro Villegas and Sergio Rodriguez from the Barca Talk team broke down the lineup, players, and tactics in that loss. | Join Our Patreon Community: http://tiny.cc/btshowpatreon | ¡Get our newsletter! https://mailchi.mp/1812f1156af4/barcatalkpod Learn more about your ad choices.

In two games last week, FC Barcelona scored 10 goals and won six points to stay within striking distance of Atlético Madrid for the championship, trailing by only four points. In a 4:1 defeat of Huesca last Monday, Barca began shooting more from outside the box, and they scored three goals that way, with Ousmane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann playing in more central positions. Also, Oscar Mingueza opened his scoring account. A road game at Real Sociedad saw an even stronger performance against a much more competitive opponent. Sergiño Dest both began his scoring for Barcelona and became the highest American goal scorer in La Liga history with two goals. Messi scored another two and two more came from Griezmann and Dembélé. We also saw notable, if brief, appearances from Ilaix Moriba and Riqui Puig.

A showtime goal from Lionel Messi wasn’t enough to spark a comeback for FC Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. The French club is on to the quarter finals, while Barcelona still hopes to compete for two trophies in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. We look at Barca’s poor shooting and the youth performances in this match that have us looking forward to a new sporting project from Joan Laporta. |Hosts Brien Henderson - https://twitter.com/barcatalk_brien | Sergio Rodriguez - https://twitter.com/Serg53579636 | Join our Patreon community @ http://tiny.cc/btshowpatreon | Support the show directly @ https://bit.ly/SupportBT Learn more about your ad choices.

Koeman put the same exact lineup and formation on the pitch against Sevilla in the Copa del Rey as he did in La Liga, and it kept Sevilla from scoring. Barcelona's goals came from pure individual performance though, rather than tactics. The 3:0 win was enough to go into extra time, and eventually on to the final where they will play Athletic Club. On the weekend, it was the same formation with only two small personnel changes against Osasuna. An unlikely crack of a goal from Jordi Alba would have been enough to get the win, but Ilaix Moriba opened his account at Barcelona in the 83rd minute to finish out the game 2:0. With PSG coming this week in Champions League, Koeman might field the same 3-5-2 formation he's become so fond of, but that won't be enough to make up the goal deficit they're currently facing. | Hosts: Brien Henderson https://twitter.com/barcatalk_brien | Alejandro Villegas https://twitter.com/alejandrovg32 | Join Our Patreon Community: https://bit.ly/bt-patreon | ¡Subscribe to our news
