If you are interested in conversion rates of #Barca players, I wrote an article on that topic using @StatsBomb resources for data analysis.
When we discuss actual vs. expected goals, variance is sth we should have in mind.
Spoiler: Messi is very good.

10. Etappe: Michael #Antwerpes berichtet dass Schuss-fahren auch auf Französisch "Schuss" heißt.
The schizophrenia of cycling journalists is reaching new (or old?) levels...

Enrique used this scheme also with his Barca side in 2015/16. The guy in the middle used to be Busquets, left triangle was Neymar-Iniesta-Jordi Alba and right side Messi-Rakitic-Dani Alves. Suarez floating.
That Barca team was so hard to beat back then
PSG have followed the same positional principles all season.
Same idea against Chelsea in the 2025 Club World Cup Final and again yesterday against Arsenal in the 2026 UCL Final:
• 3-1-6 attacking structure
• Vacating central spaces, overloading wide zones.
• Usually 3 players positioned on each side, maximum 4, barely 5.
The anchors of the 3+1 rest defence are the two centre-backs + Vitinha + Fabián/Nuno Mendes, while the front six have the freedom to overload either side.
Bayern should go for Camavinga this summer. will be easy to get him, great potential, and always was best at left-back
Arbeloa really is the perfect manager for #RealMadrid. Arrogant, bad loser, and blaming the ref.
wonder who that guy in the UAE team car is? meet Andrej Hauptman, ex-pro cyclist and now sporting director of UAE.
He was excluded from starting at the Tour de France on July 2 2000 because of an Hematocrit level over 50%. (autobus.cyclingnews.com/resu…)
Just one day earlier, Hauptman came in second at the Slovenian national road championship 🇸🇮. Ironically, he was afterwards awarded the title because the guy who came in first, Goraud Stangelj, was disqualified for .... 🥁 ... doping.

Zur Erinnerung: Katherina R. hat 2012, ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken, in der deutschen Solarindustrie schon einmal 100.000 Jobs vernichtet! Hätte man damals die Solarindustrie nicht zwei Köpfe kürzer gemacht, könnte Deutschland heute weltweit führend sein.

"Obviously it is suspicious that Marc Soler appeared where Pepe Martí was with stuff to perform lactate tests. But the most suspicious thing is that it's been known since 2023 that Pepe Martí violates his sanction for doping and this has been silenced. That's really suspicious. "
nothing to see here 👀
The Tour is over. UAE reign supreme. But behind their success stands Mauro Gianetti — a man whose career is a road map of cycling’s darkest chapters.
Let’s dive in.

not only the German media are ridiculizing themselves when it comes to #TDF2025
ARD @sportschau zeigt erst Einspieler zu Doping - nur um diesen dann komplett unkommentiert zu lassen und Antwerpes redet über Feigen 🫣🫨
