After many seasons managing Man Utd in my previous saved game, I decided to start a new season and take charge of Barcelona.
It’s going to be a very different environment and with a few rivals like Real Madrid, Espanyol, Valencia and At. Madrid to name a few, hopefully I can step up to the challenge.
Like Man Utd, I will deploy the same tactics to Barcelona. 4-3-3 (for home) and 4-3-3 counter (for away). Well, just a quick brief on how the tactics will be: sweeper keeper, full backs, central defenders, 2 box to box midfielders, one deep lying playmaker, 2 defensive forwards and one trequartista. A simple tactics with plenty of possessions and goals. Hopefully, what I have achieved with my Man Utd can be done too with Barcelona.
Till then, hope you guys enjoy reading my post.

Barcelona were looking to hold on to the lead but Karim Benzema equalised for Real Madrid in the 79th min with a tidy finish.
A good play by Barcelona but were just unlucky to concede that goal. Hoping for a better result in the return leg.

I agree with your opinion. No doubt barca have quality players in the youth squad and I'm trying to look into it. My purpose of buying/loaning a player because they have played in my previous Man Utd saved game hence, the spending of money
Anyway thanks for your opinion.
