State of Barca right now is shocking:
www.skysports.com
Excerpts:
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has opened up on the club's "very worrying" financial situation, revealing the La Liga giants are €1.35bn (£1.15bn) in debt.
Laporta blamed his predecessor Josep Bartomeu for a "terrible inheritance" which he says sees club salaries representing 103 per cent of income at the Nou Camp.
"The first thing we had to do when we arrived was to ask for a loan of €80m because otherwise, we could not pay the salaries. The previous regime was full of lies."
We also found out that the club had already received 50 per cent of the TV rights fees in advance.
"We found the wage policy in the form of an inverted pyramid - veterans on long contracts and youngsters on short deal. There were no wages cuts - lies.
"We have found that disproportionate payments have been made to intermediaries, not even agents.
"Barcelona has a negative net worth of €451m - it is a terrible inheritance. What has been happening is very worrying.
Despite such a wealth of problems, Laporta believes Barcelona can repair its situation and has revealed that it has taken out a loan of "€550m with an interest rate of 1.1 per cent to restructure the club".

They're a really good example of the "against" side of fan ownership

He had a torrid time with fitness and injuries his whole time with us, nothing to do with Mourinho.

Watching Barca v Atleti now. Cracking first ten minutes and an absolutely insane strike by Alba to equalise.
And I frickin love the camera they use for close up celebrations and the like, the way the players in the foreground are crystal clear when everything behind goes completely out of focus. Would love for those cameras to come to the PL too.

They started doing that in the NFL this year with touchdown celebrations. Wonder who took it from who.

La Liga first tried it out in January last year apparently. Just says that NFL have also tested the cameras so it's a slightly outdated article.
The Cameras Taking Viewers Closer to the Action in Empty Stadiums - NAB Amplify
LaLiga and Mediapro have incorporated a new pitch-side camera into their broadcasts, providing viewers with an image quality similar to that of a film or a video game

The fun thing is the cameras are simple A7S cameras that are fairly cheap (comparatively) and provide such a different shot and feel to the traditional cameras.
