JULY 2022

[indistinct chatter]

Oh, Robert!

[chuckles]

Well, Robert surprised
me a lot, honestly.

[whistle blows]

Good, good!

[Araujo] After training
we were all tired

and we wanted to see who
could do the most push-ups.

[chuckling]

[in English] How many push-ups?

The challenge was
doing 50 push-ups.

The winner is evident.

Ansu Fati did like,
I don't know, 40.

[in Spanish] Thirty-nine! 40!

[all cheering]

[laughter]

[in English] Ronald also did 42.

[cheering]

[in Spanish] Forty-two?

- Twenty-four!
- 45, right?

What're you saying?

- [chuckles]
- [in English] Well, I did 50.

[in Spanish]
Thirty-eight, 39, 40.

- One, two, three, four...
- [laughs]

- [players exclaiming]
- Six!

[all] Seven, eight, nine...

Let's go!

[cheering]

[in English] Of course,
I won the challenge

but we could make another one
some day and reach 60, maybe.

[laughter]

- [in Spanish] Bravo!
- Good one.

FC BARCELONA - A NEW ERA

APRIL 2022

[in Catalan] Good evening.

[Xavi, in Catalan] I'll
never forget that Holy Week.

Good afternoon!

EUROPA LEAGUE QUARTERFINALS FC
BARCELONA - EINTRACHT FRANKFURT

The last two
matches we did well.

On Sunday what did we do?

Six fouls?

Seven and three were penalties.

It's gonna be hard.

If there's no losses,

if we make fouls,

but not in the zone, and
we stop counter plays,

we'll make it to the semifinals.

[commentator 1] Lindstrøm's center
shot connects with Jordi Alba.

Careful with that drop
in the zone... Penalty.

Penalty from Eric García.

[commentator 2, in English] Two minutes
in and Barça has conceded a penalty,

as Lindstrøm goes
down inside the area.

[commentator 3, in Spanish] It's not
the first time this has happened.

He doesn't care... That's
the problem with the defense.

[commentator 1] Kostic... Goal.

It's 0-1.

Things couldn't be worse.

[crowd cheering]

[in Catalan] There was the
penalty and I think it's true

that since then we didn't
know how to make a comeback,

or how to return to our plan.

[commentator 1, in Spanish]
Kostic recovers the ball,

the pass goes to Santos
Borré, Borré shoots...

What a goal by Borré, My God!

[commentator 2, in
English] Santos Borré...

Scores 0-2 for
Frankfurt. What a goal!

It took something special to
beat Marc-André Ter Stegen.

[commentator 3, in Spanish] And Camp
Nou looks like the Deutsche Bank Park.

[ter Stegen, in English] I
think there were many, many fans

of the opposing team.

And when you play against
Eintracht Frankfurt,

of course, it's the match
of the year for them,

and this is what
probably made the vibe

be different in the stadium.

[final whistle]

[commentator 2] The
whistle marks the end

and Eintracht Frankfurt
goes to the semifinals.

Eintracht Frankfurt got
ahead with a penalty,

and they scored again and again.

Barça scored twice before
the end but it wasn't enough

and they've been eliminated
from the Europa League.

[in Catalan] The problem is we
were already seen as favorites

and champions of
the Europa League.

I think we didn't fully believe

we were up to the task.

It's hard to be in a competition

that not even Barça
supporters or fans or people

are fully motivated by.

[somber music playing]

MORE THAN A CLUB

[in English] It was the
last chance to win a trophy.

[Xavi, in Catalan] And
after those fateful nights,

Cadiz's day, Rayo's day...

We deserved a lot more.

[commentator 1, in Spanish]
Center pass to the zone,

they shoot, Ter Stegen stops it...
Second, third, and goal. Cádiz scores!

[final whistle]

End of the match, the
clash at Camp Nou ends.

The Cadiz went against
Barça in their turf.

A victory that leaves the
Cadiz people very happy

and leaves Barça very shaken.

[in Catalan] We pretty much
said goodbye to LaLiga.

[commentator 2, in Spanish] Álvaro
García's movement and the shot

- that scores the goal.
- [commentator 3] Fantastic.

[commentator 2] Rayo Vallecano
ends up scoring the first goal.

[final whistle]

[commentator 3] And it's over. A nine
point week and they only got three.

[commentator 4, in Catalan] Barça
gets their third defeat in a row

at Camp Nou, unbelievable.

[in Catalan] We're at a very
difficult stage, very difficult.

And we have to stand united.

The debacle against Eintracht at
home and the two following defeats

are a fucking harsh reality.

[in English] We don't
enjoy losing these matches.

[Alecre, in Spanish] Honestly,
it was a downer. A big one.

The team wasn't the
same after that defeat.

[somber music playing]

[Fati] I've come back from
worse, like I always say.

What I do is focus
again, accept it,

because, in the end, these
things happen, right?

BILBAO: THREE MONTHS EARLIER

[heartbeats]

[commentator] New injury
for Anssumane Fati.

It's the hamstring again
for Anssumane Fati.

Another injury in Vigo that
took two months to heal.

[Fati] I noticed the same thing.

You notice the same thing,
but you don't know the extent

until you get the tests. And
in San Mamés it was a strain.

[commentator] Ansu Fati is
injured, he left crying.

You fall, you get up,
no two ways about it.

I was a bit anxious
because I saw the team,

we were getting a lot
better, and I was out

and I was eager to come back,

to be with my teammates...

[commentator, in English] And
we see Ansu Fati on his way.

Ferrán Torres makes
way for Ansu Fati.

The fans on their feet
welcome the prodigal son.

[dramatic music playing]

[in Spanish] I'm very eager
to feel like a player again.

People cheer you on at Camp Nou.

It's a unique feeling.

Doing what you love the most
and having people support you

is priceless, honestly.

[commentator, in Catalan] And after
three months, Anssumane Fati is back.

[crowd cheering]

MATCHDAY 35 REAL
BETIS - FC BARCELONA

[in Spanish] Look, guys, now's
the time for a last effort.

Today's the moment to
get into the Champions,

to qualify for the
Champions League next year.

And there's only one
chance, winning today, guys.

Good match-up, big
field, good weather...

Perfect for an amazing match. Come
on, let's go get the Champions!

[clapping]

[commentator 1] This is
Seville, this is Betis-Barça.

Losing is not allowed today.

[commentator 2] The stakes are none other
than getting into the Champions next year.

[commentator 1] Ball for Ansu...

[Fati] A pass from
Jordi on the side,

I get oriented and, well,

[chuckling] with
a bit of luck...

I was able to fool
the goalkeeper.

[crowd cheering]

[commentator 1] Ansu Fati scores!
This kid has amazing skills!

Goal by Marc Bartra!

Betis 1, Fútbol
Club Barcelona 1.

Rodri tries to pass
to Adama and does it.

[Alba] It was pretty much
the last play of the match.

We know how well Dani plays
and he gave me a good pass.

- [commentator 1] Alves shoots... Alba!
- [commentator 2] What a goal!

- Goal!
- What a goal!

[commentator 1] Alba! Assist
from Alves, goal by Jordi Alba!

One-two. Minute 94.

[in Catalan] When Jordi Alba
scores in minute 93 or 94 that way,

it felt like mission accomplished,
we were among the top four.

A great feeling.

[commentator, in
Spanish] It's over.

The game ends with the
goal by Jordi Alba.

Such joy! A Champions victory.

Are we on fire or
what? Come on, dammit!

MATCHDAY 38 LALIGA
FINAL RANKING

[Xavi, in Catalan] We can't say
this season has been outstanding,

but we've played good matches,

you can see the play style, the
game model we want to achieve.

[Busquets, in Spanish] All in
all, it was a tough year mentally,

it brought many
changes and doubts...

[whistle blows]

[Alba] I think Xavi's arrival
brought a lot of hope to the players,

to the fans...

[crowd chanting]

[in Catalan] In the
end I say: "Man!

If you look at the big picture, we've
improved a lot in the division."

[contemplative music playing]

[in Spanish] In Barça, if you don't
win, whatever you do is meaningless.

[Xavi, in Catalan] We saved a season
that promised to be a disaster.

Clearly it's not
Barça's main objective

to end in second place
this season, evidently.

This year we're more optimistic
and demanding with ourselves,

and winning titles
is the objective,

but... mission accomplished.

22/23 PRE-SEASON

To think we arrived to a Barça

that was about to disappear.

About to disappear.

We can get mad about
it, but it's a reality.

It almost disappeared.

An absolute breaking point.

With a salary for the players,
especially, super diluted.

Main objective:
before June 30th,

getting benefits. That means
a gain of 200 millions.

Then we have until July
31st to improve performance.

That also puts me at ease,

because we can do
some other operations

selling stock.

And if we don't get
there in any way,

we can always mortgage
the TV broadcast rights.

The president is a man
that lets you work.

He gives his opinion, but
gives us a lot of freedom.

And Mateu does an amazing job.

He keeps track of everything,
he has a lot of experience,

and Jordi is a very
smart man, very talented,

he knows a lot about football
and he has experience.

[in Spanish] We're doing all
we can to reinforce the team,

and not just so it's a team
with a chance of winning but...

- For everything.
- For the Champions and LaLiga...

- Yeah, no...
- For everything.

[in Catalan] If you tell me the
best option are those six...

Well! We make one
heck of a team.

I can't guarantee we'll have
the six of them for sure,

but we also have options

and things can't go as
bad as to be like we were.

Damn...

[Xavi] I also try to be
clear with the president.

I say: "I want this and
this." We team up a lot.

I've talked to him, he wants to
come, he has leadership. 23 years!

Let Jordi tell you. Koundé and
Araujo as midfielders, kid?

Damn! Two beasts.

You can advance
on both sides, eh?

Hell, they do this... like
the midfields in Liverpool.

[chuckling]

- Rafael goes.
- Yeah...

[contemplative music playing]

[Xavi] The best thing I have as
a coach is my technical staff.

I have my brother,
who's also my friend.

He's faithful, loyal,
noble, hard-working...

- [Òscar on phone] Hello?
- Òscar, good morning.

- How are you?
- Good morning, how are you?

Very well. On my
way to training.

- Yeah, me too, almost there.
- Alright.

Naturally, he's a bit
more confident with me

because of our bond, right?

But the bad side is that you
have more responsibilities.

When you already want
things to go well,

when your brother
is the main coach,

you want him to succeed
even more and work harder

so no one can say: "He's only
there because he's Xavi's brother."

[Xavi] Listen, today
we'll do a big round-up.

Sergio said he didn't want
to do strategy today, okay?

- [Òscar] Alright.
- Alright, see ya.

See ya. Bye.

Òscar is in charge of the
whole defensive aspect,

Sergio's role is to be
in charge of strategy...

[in Spanish] There's no
Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Xavi makes it easy.

He's a very coherent person,
he always tries to help others

and it's honestly very
easy to work with him.

Today: positioning play,
seven on seven plus four.

And on the defensive lane, Òscar's
three or four minute explanation

- and then an eight versus eight...
- Alright.

With the chance of
passing me the ball, okay?

They'll go with you to the
gymkhana and I'll time it...

- Okay.
- You said two to four minutes,

while they to go the gymkhana.

Positioning game,
everyone, okay?

Yeah, that'd be good,
before you leave,

to get good results, which...

- With everyone, right?
- Yeah.

- Alright.
- Very well.

[Xavi] Come on. Hey,
come on, let's go.

[in Catalan] We're a family.

What I see here is that we're
working very well as a team

and I'm respected at all times.

So far, from the seven or eight
players I asked for, five have signed.

[imperceptible]

Everyone who's
come, I asked for.

Welcome... Jules? Did
you say Jules? Jules?

- [Kounde] Yeah.
- Jules, welcome.

[applause]

Thank you for having me.

Um, I'm very happy to be here and I
wish we can accomplish great things.

Franck!

[in English] Come on!

[in Spanish] How are
you? Everything alright?

- Good.
- How's your Spanish?

[laughter]

- Next week...
- [in Italian] All good.

[in Portuguese] Welcome.

[indistinct chatter]

[Laporta, in Spanish] Well, finally!
Finally, because it's been tough.

We've struggled. We've
struggled to get you here.

A lot.

And so have you and
I appreciate it.

Close the door, don't let him
escape before everything's signed.

[laughter]

I'm also looking forward
to seeing you play

because I've seen you play in
Leeds and here... your way of...

And now with a ball it's easier.

[laughter]

[Xavi, in English]
Andreas, welcome.

[in Spanish] I'm sure you'll help
us, you'll be treated wonderfully,

it's a fantastic group.

If you need something or don't
understand something, tell us.

Or Jordi Alba, he can
speak English like a pro.

[in English] A little
bit of English...

[laughter and applause]

[Xavi, in Catalan] Good signings,
requested by the coach, in this case,

which makes me happy and
very hopeful for this season.

[in Spanish] Oh,
sorry! Damn! Sorry!

I'm leaving... How do I say it?

Signing, renewing...

- What's this, Ousmane, for you?
- I'm...

- He's signing, technically.
- As... captain.

- It's six years here...
- No, no. This is a signing...

Like, minimum...

Look, we avoid singing, but
you get a double slap tunnel.

- Okay?
- A slap tunnel he says.

[laughter and applause]

Double slap tunnel, Ousmane.

I'm going to work
you to the bone...

[Xavi, in Catalan] I think he's
staying, for the most part,

in Barça thanks to me.

He's happy, he jokes
around in training,

all of his teammates love him...

- [in Spanish] Double, why?
- Double, double.

Memphis! Always Ousmane.

- We have to do double.
- Come on.

- Here he comes.
- Come on.

Another!

MIAMI: 22/23 PRE-SEASON TOUR

[upbeat music playing]

- [man 1] Let's go to the beach.
- [man 2] How's your Spanish?

[man 1] You speak well?

I don't understand,
unfortunately.

[man 2] You don't understand?
But you've understood me so far.

- I speak a little.
- Okay, alright.

- My name is Robert.
- [man 1] Okay.

- I'm from Poland.
- [men] Okay.

- I live in... Barcelona.
- [man 1] Good! Good.

[Xavi, in Catalan]
A top-level pro.

He comes to makes a difference.

It's what was
missing last season,

we didn't have a
natural born goaler.

[Lewandowski, in English] When I
spoke with him for the first time,

I felt first-hand
what he wanted to do

and I felt that
from him directly.

And after, I don't know,
two or three minutes,

I thought he was the perfect
person at the perfect place.

XAVI CAN'T JOIN THE TOUR
UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER

- [Xavi, in Spanish, on call] You hear me?
- [players] Yes!

Good afternoon, everyone.
Good evening from Madrid.

Robert, welcome.

[in English] Welcome.

- [Lewandowski, in Spanish] Thank you!
- [laughter]

[Xavi] Well, a round
of applause for Robert.

[commentator 1, in English] El
Clásico has reached Las Vegas.

A pre-season clash that
people were clamoring for.

[cheering in distance]

[in Spanish] There he goes.

[commentator 2] Robert
Lewandowski debuts,

nothing more and nothing less than
in a Clásico against Real Madrid.

[fans cheering and whistling]

[imperceptible]

[inspiring music playing]

[commentator 2, in Spanish]
Great match by Barça,

they didn't let
down on the Clásico,

good vibes. I think Barça
is on the right path.

To win and compete, yes,
sir. To win and compete.

Well done, Auba, there it goes!

This is the way,
huh? This is the way.

Bravo, Nico. Good one,
Geri, yes. Good one, Marc.

Come one. That's right, guys.

Fuck, yeah. Yeah.

Let's win, guys. Come on!

There! Good!

[indistinct chatter]

BARCELONA: JOAN GAMPER TROPHY

[announcer, in Catalan]
Thank you to everyone

for this welcome
and your support.

Let's hope to have a
great season together.

[Xavi] Thank you very much,
firstly, for your support.

We started a very hopeful year.

I'm the one with the
most hope, so much hope.

Nothing would make me happier
than to make all the culés happy

and to do that we have to
win titles this season.

[announcer] Robert Lewandowski!

[fans cheering]

Long live Barça and
long live Catalonia!

[somber music playing]

[Xavi] The thing about
Dani was a tough decision.

It was tough because on the one side we
thought we could still help each other

as a player, as a leader.

I was very clear, I told him
it'd be hard for him to play.

There was a world cup coming,
I didn't want to ruin that.

[in Spanish] Since I arrived, my intention
has always been to get to the world cup.

[in Catalan] Barça's
coach makes choices

and in the end the decision was
for him to not continue with us.

[in Spanish] It's better to tell
a painful truth than a white lie.

[Xavi, in Catalan] He was grateful,
he said there was no problem.

On the contrary, he was
very grateful to me.

After calling Alves, I
talked to the president

and told him he
deserved an homage.

And what a better way to
do it than in a Gamper.

Let's hope it's filled to the
brim so he can say goodbye.

It has to be a party for
Dani. He deserves it.

[Alves] I've committed
200% to this team.

I've respected everything
Barcelona makes up.

My arms will always
be open to Barça.

[fans chanting]
Alves! Alves! Alves!

Alves! Alves! Alves!

22/23 PRE-SEASON START

[tense music playing]

[Laporta, in Catalan]
Welcome again.

I hope you had fun
during your vacations.

People are hopeful,
people want a fast pace,

unlike last season.

We have to start at
100% from the start.

We have to reclaim the prestige
Barça never should've lost.

And I'm sure that we
will achieve these goals,

which, again, are
winning a title

and returning the joy
to being a Barça fan.

So thank you, good
luck, and keep pushing.

[applause]

[in Spanish] Hi, good afternoon. Welcome
to the Barça American football team.

Thirty-eight players, huh?

Uh, rules first, okay?

This week there's
only two rules:

everyone comes one
hour early, okay?

If you're late, you pay
1000 euros. It's started.

Okay? And then...

You eat dinner here, okay? If
you don't, that's 2000 euros.

Okay? Only those two rules.

I'll talk to the captains to
see if I need to add more.

I have a sheet for communal
living rules this year.

That's all, guys.

I'll just ask those in
a difficult position,

if you know you're not
staying on the team...

You have to find a way out...

It's not an easy week for
us nor for many of you.

Some have already been told they'll
be cast aside and yelled at...

We're not yelling
at anyone, okay?

We're all gonna train this week,
then we'll do the call sheet...

I have already told the
ones who have to find a team

what they have to do, and from now
on it's all attitude and effort.

Attitude and effort.

If you don't put in attitude and
effort, then yeah... [whistles]

You're out.

Am I clear? Yes?

Yes? Understood, then?

Okay? Let's train!

[upbeat music playing]

Come on! Get organized, apply
pressure... Don't spread!

- Don't spread!
- [player] There!

[players shouting]

[Xavi, in Catalan]
There's no excuse now.

- [in Spanish] Good.
- Go, Pedri. Good, Robert!

Now, pressure, that's it.

Shoot!

[in Catalan] We have
to give people hope,

to the new players, to
the ones that stay...

[fans cheering]

[Alba, in Spanish] I see happy
people, hopeful people...

And that's good,
we have to believe.

[Xavi, in Catalan] Win
or lose, make people say:

"Man, I enjoyed watching Barça."

[in Spanish] And putting
Barça back where it belongs.

[Xavi, in Catalan] And being
competitive. I came here for titles.

[in Spanish] I think we stand a chance,
and we're favorites to win them all.

I think we'll achieve
big goals this year.

[Xavi, in Catalan] There's four
titles. Let's win all four.

We have to get titles,
that's super clear to us.

[fans cheering]

FC BARCELONA - A NEW ERA

[in Spanish] Good
afternoon, let's start.

TEAM TALK BEFORE MATCH
AGAINST RAYO VALLECANO

Look, I always try to say,
from here, what I feel.

Today we officially
start a new season.

There are two key factors.

First, that all
of you understand

that it's very hard
for me to set a roster.

I'll make you a question:

Is everyone here ready to play
one minute to help the team?

If someone isn't, raise
your hand, now's the time.

We need all of you. All of you.

My first feeling is injustice.
The second thing I have to say is:

with this roster, we
have to win this league.

This year LaLiga can't
slide between our fingers.

We have to get it this year.

Every match is a fucking war.

You have to give it all for
the teammates that can't play,

for the emblem we represent...

Because it's a privilege
to be in Barça.

We have to die in
the field, guys. Die.

With this roster, we have to
mow titles. Especially LaLiga.

Yeah? Are you willing
to be a family?

It's a rematch guys,
we'll start off well.

[dramatic music playing]

[commentator] Everything's ready.
First official match of the season

between Fútbol Club
Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano.

The trouble starts,
season 22/23 starts now.

[whistle blows]

[fans cheering]

[theme music playing]
