How Josep Bartomeu Ruined FC Barcelona

- Fans are currently gathering outside of the Camp Nou in Barcelona to protest against club president Josep Bartomeu, and to voice their support for Barcelona captain and legend Lionel Messi.
Following a number of years of decline under Bartomeu's management, things came to a head in Catalonia this month when the La Liga side were beaten 8-2 by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
In this video, HITC Sevens takes a look at the six years of Josep Bartomeu's presidency, how Barcelona have been run since Joan Laporta's departure in 2010, and how they have ended up in such a mess. - Sport
You repeated yourself between 5:27 and 6:05, my guy
haha just commented this then saw your comment.
Oh balls, I did indeed, I'll pin this. Apologies one and all, laziness on my part, I didn't finish this video until about half 1 in the morning last night but still very poor. Please forgive me, skip that bit, and I hope you can enjoy the video nonetheless!
HITC Sevens it all good Alfie. 👍

@@HITCSevens meh don't worry about it. Video is still class!
Josep Bartomeu is the best president in Real Madrid history
This has nothing to do with us
Hola Madrid
@@deemcclelland4222Ingles por favor
Lol I honestly think he's genuinely better than Perez. At least Bartomeu didn't have a bunch of trophy less or under achieving seasons like Perez has.
El señor de la tienda at least perez actually makes a lot of good signings
It’s genuinely mental how bad Barcelona’s transfer policy has become in recent years
They have almost no top tier player between 24 and 30 and that's just awful. It's like they forgot that balance doesn't mean 30+ and 24-
Selling Arthur and bringing in Pjanic to replace him pretty much sums it up
The Establishment there was a 10 million euro difference in transfers. If that was the reason they used they are either lying or completely incompetent
@@jonny26281 they are lying thats how books are balanced barca exaggerated their profit from the deal while juve got a better player for agreeing to lie
They haven't made a truly great (here I'm excluding De Jong and Lenglet who has been good and probably will become even better) signing since 14/15 where they signed Ter Stegen and Luis Suarez. That says a lot.
And now Messi is gone. Bartomeu's demolition job of Barcelona's squad is more or less complete
Yep
What's incredible is that he couldn't get Messi out when Messi actually wanted to leave, but his idiocy pushes him out when he actually wants to stay.
This guy must be in jail because his administrative crimes. This was the most criminal act in the history of footbal.
Please if you can make him face authorities for his crimes. Its obvious his economical management is suspicious
it's precisely the opposite: Messi was the one destroying Barcelona with his crazy salary, while his performance has been totally mediocre during the last years....
FC Barcelona: :"laporta is too good, he won everything, let's change him."
Laporta*
Ulises Leon i know all about it
We all wanted La Porta but Bartomeu rigged the elections,you dont think the socios were actually dumb enough to pick that clown?When we get La Porta back I hope we can make a rebuttal🤞
If you were from catalonia you will under stand, his inlaws are supported of franco
@@tahahadada1936 I thought he denied it. If its true, its horrible and I would understand. Gracias por la explicación.
So Bartomeu was the head of the Barca basketball team when they failed miserably and went to become the head of the whole Barca team and then Barca football team got destroyed. This man is a failure at everything
really? He wastes Messi 5 years prime time
Ok.
He has failed upwards essentially
Yet, still gets hired for top jobs. That's the state of the world: failures get highly rewarded. So what does that tell you about the people who dishes them out?
@@56postoffice that is because Barcelona has a democratic type of structure. If it had a corporate type of structure Bartemeu would have been sacked after his basketball team failure.
In a corporate type Barcelona, Raul Saniheili (Director of Football at Arsenal) would have been the director of Football at Barcelona
and the president would been none other the prodigy himself, Ferran Soriano (CEO of CITY FOOTBALL GROUP)
Ferran Soriano was the youngest person to be ever be in a Barcelona board. He literally dreamed of making Barcelona what City Football Group is today. But due to bureaucracy & Office politics his ideas given a deaf ear and he resigned from VP in 2008.
So this damage of Barca is a systematic procedure is due to incompetent leadership for a decade.
If Messi mancity deal goes through then the credit of that goes 50% to pep & 50% Soriano.
I still can't get over how he traded Arthur for Pjanic 😅
Arthur was useless but replacing him with another old cdm is absolutely rediculous
@@hunkraven8465 he wasn't useless he felt the trainer didn't want to start him so he wasn't pushing himself to get better. In the national team Tite seems will start him every game so his performances are solid
@@Romano2018 players are never guaranteed a starting spot. It's a meritocracy at the top
Hunk Raven84 Arthur was supposed to be Barca’s next Xavi and play with De Jong to control the middle. When they traded him, that’s when I knew this club had no ambitions or end goals.
@@hunkraven8465 "Arthur surrprised me the most, hes similar to xavi, he likes to stay close to the ball and pass it around" - Messi
Man United and Milan: "Hey Barca, welcome to the club!"
Barcelona will be top 5 club in next 3 year.
@Benji Winger u just watch mate
@bo kai bro mark it.
@bo kai if Victor font is president then Barça will surely be back, just need 2 years for complete revolution.
@bo kai lame joke buddy, next time come with better jokes
Bartomeau is a secret Real Madrid agent. He came to destroy Barca
A hero then
Well, destroying Barcelona is same as destroy the Spanish national team, so Spain wouldn't be playing euros or world Cup no more and until Barcelona is fixed
@@megancawley862 that makes him an even bigger hero in my book. Saint Bartomeau
He's the David Luiz of club executives 😅😅
Its what happens when you become "More than a Club"... ROFL.. what a joke. 😅🤣 more than a club
To quote Claude from AFTV.
‘It’s time to go’
Just like he was let go from AFTV.
Imagine if Bartomeou takes up the job at Arsenal. Match made in heaven.
RIP Claude, he was the voice of reason
@@thehylianloach9473 Also a racist.
Oh u thought you were gonna say "DVDs going off"
Just to touch on the start of the video; Valdés wasn’t the keeper for the 14-15 season, he had left the club. It was Claudio Bravo in the league and Ter Stegen in the Cup competitions.
Exactly! I was very disappointed with his lack of research.
He said 2014 most of 2014 valdes was our gk but frm the start of 2015 bravo became a laliga starter and mats played in copa del rey and ucl
Basshen No he said that was the 11 in Bartomeu’s first full season which was 14-15. Valdés didn’t play a single minute in 14-15, Bravo was the keeper from August 2014 onwards in the league.
Who’s here after he resigned??👀
Not to mention he put Busquets Xavi and Rakitic as the starting 11 when the real one was with iniesta and rakitic in Xavi's place 😅
I think Josep has done a geeat job for Barcelona*.

@@kyzersoze8408 Actually it's amazing for LaLiga as a whole, before this Barca and Real to an extent, dominated the league. Now, with Real well into rebuilding and the shit show a Barca yo actually have a competition instead of El Classico featuring random also rans.
how's relegation fam
He's not resigning. He's just making Messi the villain.
Good Haha
Messi is the villian though
Filip he promised them a UCL, he’s leaving Barcelona without doing anything, Cristiano left Real Madrid as a champion and a true hero. He wasn’t a false hero. Messi swore with his own words that he would bring a UCL to us Barcelona fans and he failed us and now he quits
@@adriansalinas7026 by this logic, Neymar is a villain too because he promised Brazil a world cup and still hasn't delivered.
Gian Garcia yup, all Barcelona players disappoint us, I wish we had somebody like Cristiano in our team 😖
Yeah agreed, that Neymar's transfer to Psg broke the transfer world in football
Bale started it
Think unthoughtful thoughts nah Neymar did because now 150 doesn’t seem as much as it would have
What broke it was Neymar followed by Pogba for 100m the same summer. Those blew the lid off
@@Jorge-wg9tq it's true that bale broke it the first time, but neymar transfer made club nowadays spend 50+mil like it was nothing
Nah I'd say pogba started it. Bale and neymar were reasonable for there abilities they've completely paid off. Bale directly helped in the UCL titles and neymar has made PSG a global brand. Pogba has done nothing but just show up once every third game when he's not injured. Nothing against him he's a good player just too overpriced
As a Real Madrid Fan, I will deeply miss Bartomeu. Thank you for everything!
Lmao 0-4
@@the.orlandogonzalez Frankfurt: oof
lmao
Barcelona should really build a statue of Messi, he kept the club alive from 2016
Honestly one of the best docs you've ever done Alfie.
Now Barcelona fans know how Man United feel about Ed Woodward and the the Glazers.
And Milan with fucking Berlusconi,Gazidis and Eliott
At least the board at Barcelona will change in a year whereas clubs like united arsenal and ac Milan they are stuck with the owners for next coming years
@@rashidkhalid3970 Thats not true because this is Eliott's last season.Bernard Arnault is going to buy us in the next year.
I will take Woodward anyday over Bartomeou.

what lol?
What a great time to get recommended 😀
"He somehow managed to crash a Ferrari in the middle of the desert".
I once heard this said of Daniel Passarella, who, as president, mismanaged argentine giants River Plate so bad, they got relegated to the second division.
Now, Barcelona´s crisis isn´t quite THAT bad, but I feel the comparisson still fits.
Ahh.. Scuderia Ferrari is as bad as FC Barcelona, if you follow F1.😂
Pasarella took on what the previous president did, so i don't blame him AS much for that.

Two men have almost single-handedly destroyed the club.
That's two hands technically

U forgot to mention Valverde he’s one of the homies
@@darkblood9008 Valverde was a European choke artist, but he was great in the league. He nearly went unbeaten
@@LazerIsHere Valverde was trash it was just that messi was phenomenal
Who's here smiling after the arrest? :D
After a year on, we're still cleaning up after him, Messi just left the club because we can't even afford to sign him 😢
The next few years will probably be rough. But ultimately this won't last forever, Barcelona will be back up there
If Barca revive their world class youth academy then between that and some shrewd transfers they should be back competing for Champions League finals in no time. I would give it 3 seasons tops.
@@scipioafricanus2212joao felix is cooking
*long read*
I saw this video last week and I avoided it because I figured there would be a lot of missing parts to this video. You did a good job explaining the inner machinations of Barcelona but there are things to expand upon.
I’ll elaborate:
1. Ronaldinho wasn’t Laporta’s man, he was actually Rosell. I think if nothing else, that was the reason Laporta teamed up with Rosell, because he had a lot of contacts and could get deals done.
By that same token, however, Rosell was and still is of the idea that football belongs to the players as opposed to managers or an actual project or philosophy of doing things. Remember this, as it will be important later.
When Laporta’s project was just staring out with Txiki as sporting director and Rijkaard as manager, Rosell was adamant that he wanted to get rid of Puyol, Xavi and Valdés and bring in Brazilians like Luis Fabiano, Baptista and others. Getting rid of la masía graduates to bring in superstars, sound familiar?
Thankfully, Laporta chose to listen to Cruyff and not Rosell. Rosell ended up stepping down and doing what you mentioned.
2. Mundo Deportivo, a very influential newspaper based on Barcelona, who CLAIM to be pro Barça, but are actually in cohoots with Rosell and his cronies (like Bartomeu, who we’ll get to later) were the ones leading the smear campaign against Laporta, saying that he had misappropriated funds and was a pro independence nationalist and was using the club to further his agenda, to the detriment of the sport. This despite the fact that under Laporta, he had made profesional several of the sporting sections of the club and had won a lead and champions league double as recently as 2006. This was in 2008z
3. That same year, Bartomeu was quoted as saying “Hay que erradicar el cruyfismo e introducir ideas nuevas” or “We need to eradicate Cruyffism” and introduce new ideas.” Most people with some sense, understand that the Barcelona way was given to the club by Cruyff. Some call is differently because they don’t want to give credit to Cruyff for reasons I won’t get into now because my comment is long enough as it is.
Anyway, people like him and others have been saying that the Barça DNA was obsolete. The philosophy itself wasn’t obsolete, it just wasn’t being executed properly.
Bartomeu wanted Mourinho, but Laporta gambled on Pep.
4. You said that selling one of the top players under other regimes was unheard of, well, the first thing Pep did was sell Ronaldinho. Hindsight will say that that was a no brainer, but the move wasn’t popular at the time. He also got rid of Eto’o despite him being the clubs top scorer the year after. However he got rid of them because they were toxic to the group, remember this as well.
He got rid of him, as well as others. He implemented several rules and a new training schedule.
He gave Messi a new diet, and he magically stopped getting injured every other month. That’s something he will never get credit for, but it is what it is.
Pep also successfully develop a way for Iniesta and Xavi to play in the middle together. Under Rijkaard, that never happened because he considered that middle of the park frail defensively.
Again, that’s something Pep will never get credit for. They say that it was easy to win with Messi, Xavi and Iniesta but those same players were getting humiliated at the Bernabéu a year before conceding 4 after giving them a guard of honor.
5. After all that, the socio voted Rosell in 2010, that’s when it started to go to shit.
Pep will never admit to this, but he left because he didn’t trust Rosell. First, it was him who iniciales the smear campaign against Laporta, whom Pep owes a lot to. He also removed Cruyffs honorary presidency at the club. Txiki also left his charge as sporting director as soon as Rosell won.
Furthermore, Rosell also went against the wishes of Guardiola and sold Chigrynsky (or however you spell it) in a signal that would mean the manager was no longer in charge, a basic tenement of Cruyffism.
So those were strikes one and two. The final strike was Rosell wanting to sign Neymar in spite of Pep’s wishes he didn’t want that type of player at his club. Not because he’s not talented, but hecause he can be (and is toxic.) He saw the writing on the wall and didn’t renew his contract, but in reality he was ran out the club. Had he stayed, Rosell would have done to him what ended up happening to Valverde, who was basically a puppet.
6. After what happened to Rosell and Bartomeu came in, he just kept carrying Rosell’s wishes, these people are one and the same. Then there is Toby Freiza as well who also thinks like that.
It’s not that La Masía has dried up, is that these people have contempt for anything that smells of Cruyff. Thiago was unceremoniously sold without giving him a proper go, as were people like Adama, Samper, and countless others who had enough talent to make it.
Nevertheless part of it was the last part.
7. Too much power given to the super stars. I’ll admit Messi is part of the problem. Somewhere along the line he was convinced that the way to win trophies is by having superstars and not trining properly.
Under Valverde, the team lost intensity, nevertheless, it was a direct result of the influence of senior players wanting a lower workload, specially after working under Luis Enrique, and Valverde obliged. As a result, the intensity was gradually lost until we saw what we saw against Liverpool. You can’t pretend that it’s a good idea to play at a low intensity all year and think you’re going to win against Klopp’s Liverpool just by having talented players. They don’t press like they did under Pep, they don’t train like that.
Many of the players who were there are still starters, not because there aren’t other players capable, but because those same players refuse to give other youngsters a chance. Piqué has been guilty of this several times. Players like Martinez and more recently de Ligt didn’t come to the club over assurances over playing time. They saw that players plays because of the name of the back of the shirt and not performance.
When you add it all up, this is what you get. Honestly, I didn’t feel sorry for any senior player during that 2-8 lost.
The only one I felt sorry for actually was Ter Stegen, because he’s been a vocal detractor of the way things have been run in the past few years. Him and De Jong who have said this is not the way to run things. Also Setién, who ended up paying the price for other people’s mismanagement. I’ve no doubt he could have been a great manager for Barcelona with humble players who were willing to listen and be coached. Of course Ansu Fati as well, but he’s not a senior player.
Exactly... Agree it completely especially on point no 7
You forgot to mention the financial aspect of it all. Bartomeu and his board are personally liable for financial losses of the club. They had to sell Arthur to balance the books of the 19/20 business year, but are already in a hole because of the 70m for Pjanic in the 20/21 business year. That's why they actually want Messi to leave because it would solve all their financial problems before getting voted out next spring.
Bartomeu might step down now, but he can't call elections. He needs someone of his board in charge to first cook the books before a new president comes in. The man's a crook.
this makes no sense at all
@@TheBonecrusherz Why not?
So with all of the TV rights and merchandising they sell they still can't balance their budget? I mean selling Arthur Melo to balance the their budget it's understandable if you think about it, but signing pjanic it's just plain stupid if you ask me ..
But Bartomeu is a man with no vision for the future, if Barca were managed like Bayern they would still have dominant squad and the perfect manager for them ...
@@dedasalmeida9047 Juventus left them no choice. They were shopping players all around Europe. Juve agreed to buy Arthur, but only if Barça would take Pjanic. The Arthur to Juve deal was finalized ahead of June 30th (business year 19/20) so that Bartomeu could balance the books and not be personally liable. The Pjanic to Barça deal on the other hand was finalized after July 1st (business year 20/21). That's why they start the new business year already with a financial hole 70 million deep.
Of course Barça make lots of money from TV rights and merchandise, but they also pay higher wages than any other sports team in the world. 70% of the annual budget are just wages for the first team (players and coaching staff)! That's very unhealthy for a club/business. They still owe Liverpool and Dortmund tens of millions for Coutinho and Dembele.
Add to that the loss of revenue from ticket sales. Every home game without audience means at least a couple million less. They have spent almost a billion on transfer fees since 2015!!
@@Erich_U why would they want to sell their best player just to balance the 60m loss? They could literally sell anyone else to achieve it. Also you're completely ignoring the fact that messi wants to leave on his own and bartomeu even offered to resign if messi stays.
I bet messi just wants another new contract with an even higher salary.
"If he had any honor left, he would have stepped down by the time this video came round"
Barto: SO ITS TREASON THEN
The fact that bartomeu was one of the best president for football fans. On his time, We witnessed 6-1 Remondota, 0-3 Roma comeback, 0-4 liverpool comeback & the legendary 8-2. We should be thankful for these greatest moments (except barca fans ofcourse ☻)

Please make another video talking about that social media scandal of Bartomeu! Heard a lot of it but never got to know the details. Great video btw!
0:17 - Valdes left the club by then if I'm not mistaken? I believe Bravo would have been the most frequent goalkeeper that season since there was an agreement for him to play in league matches and Ter Stegen to be between the sticks during cup games.
Valdes got injured around March 2014 if i can remember , then he left to join Man Utd and they signed Ter Stegen who you’re right in saying was the cup and European games
I'm your fan for almost 2 years now
Today you just certified that
Love you brother
Actually the best President was NOT Laporta, but Núñez (the longest-serving, from 1978 to 2000). He was responsible for creating the original "Dream Team" and for signings such as Maradona, Ronaldo (the original) and Figo. Everybody hated him in his final years as President, but now, with the benefit of hindsight, it has become clear how great was his relaxed and content style of leadership
Nunez was a legend, and he laid the foundations for the great Barca teams that
came afterwards. There have been some criticisms, that he didn't want to spend
money in the transfer market, but as you can see, buying Maradona, Ronaldo and Figo (all 3 world players of the year) isn't penny-pinching. The work Nunez did
was critical in establishing the "model" - together with the ex-player & coach,
Cruyff, they both set the example for later legends such as Guardiola & Rikkard as coaches, with Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Puyol masterminding the best team ever.
He is hated because he sacked Cruyff. Cruyff was doing a transition from his dream team and Núñez didn't. let him.

This will probably be an unpopular request, and in all honestly wouldn’t tally up incredible views, but if this does garner some interest, I would love to see your take on the current state of Australian soccer. From the heights of the 2006 World Cup, with legends such as Kewell and Viduka, to the current disastrous state of our local game and our current international crop, I would love to see your take on the matter.

Who's here after Messi left Barcelona?
I thought Barcelona had no choice but to sell Neymar because PSG activated his Release Clause. You make it sound like they chose to sell Neymar.
Well tbf the player could have been made to stay if convinced well. Neymar knew what was coming and he left. If there was a project to be genuinely excited about then neymar might have stayed.
just because psg activated release clause doesnt mean barca had to give him away.. if that was the case, then likes of messi even if 700m in his prime wouldnt be at barca.. the player has a say in it.. also club can foresee such incidents and define release clause accordingly.. for eg. benzema has release clause of 1 billion.. which means barca has to put neymar in market for others to buy him
glad he left that corrupt club

Bartomeu should teach a class on how to ruin a football club .... he will literally be the best professor ....
I feel like you are on a mini-doc spree Alfie
I like it
Oddly appropriate I get this recommend after Messi is leaving Barcelona
And Messi just left
They signed for PES and it's been all downhill since.
HenryClay1844 true
All of Alfie's videos are good but every once in a while he comes up with something brilliant.
Really good vid mate
Schalke 2010/11 squad semi finalis Champions League where are they now...
what does this have to do with a random team from 10y ago?
This was on my recommendations the day Messi left Barca.
What a well done work👍👌
Thank you HITC Sevens for making this video. I really enjoyed this video.
#Bartomeu out
whos watching this right after he resigned

Nearly a year on from this video and messi has left barca because of how much debt they are in. Wow… just wow
Brilliant and informative video. Hopefully Bartomeu is soon seen out so Barca can move on, have a fresh start and rebuild for a few years time. Although either way I hope Messi leaves, it would be class to see him in the Premier League.
what baffles me is how rival clubs glee on the downfall of Barcelona. I'm an Ajax fan and when Feyenoord are in crisis, as much as I hate them, there isn't much to hate when they are in a hole. I love to hate Feyenoord that's why I prefer them when they are strong.
Fun fact: Berghuis transfer from Feyenoord to Ajax is identical to Figo's transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid
It's simple really when we aren't down they can't talk
He is a Real madrid fan in disguise'
Boss video fella… got to say though, its pronounced like “la massssia” not “la mazia”. Goes right through me every time you do that.
he is doing a great job ! keep up the good work Jo
They didn't have a choice with the Neymar sale. They met his buyout clause
They could've renegotiated with him to make him stay.
@@enzothessieu6612 ye but he wanted to leave. Doubt they could have convinced him
Exactly. Their only mistake was not preparing the release clauses for the influx of money from the Middle East and the inflation it would cause on transfers. Real Madrid, for example, predicted that and upped their release clauses long before the Neymar transfer.
The Poltical One I think he was holding out training. Really there was nothing they could do. The players they brought in weren’t bad as well, but they were trying to forcefully fit Coutinho into Neymar’s role, meaning it didn’t really work.
@@christopherchan5245 I know
Basically, Barca bought the biggest names on the market for several years. Coutinho, Dembele, Griezman, De Jong,... So in a way, they did something right. They utilized the Messi effect to lure all those names to Barca. But somehow, they didn't work as a team. My guess is, that a big contract at Barca is allready the pinacle of many careers.
If you take Bayern as a counter example: they buy many second tier names, from whom they expect the next step. The only route to fame at Bayern is winning titles. So player have to give everything for winning. Bayern is a club that heavily relies on mentality ("mia san mia", the Bayern gene).
Three times CL winner Real team had that gene, too. A bunch of guys with a mission to become legends.
At Barca, I miss that spirit. Too many wannabe stars.
I love how when a massive club/company starts to wind down a cycle of success everyone blames either the manager or the board-barca had a great run now it's time to rebuild, there was always going to be a bad period when Messi got old/retired
this man ruined everything .the current situation is horrible and its all cause of him.
I for one really want Bartomeu to continue 😍
