Old Buddha: "Do you believe it? That he can lead Barça to snatch the La Liga championship from Real Madrid!"

It's like boosting the morale of others while undermining your own spirit!
Collette being kicked out by Bayern is a typical example.
But this time, Old Buddha laughed even louder, "Good, very good! Even you, Mr. Golden Ball and World Footballer of the Year, can't completely deny this ridiculous statement from happening, so... ordinary fans cannot deny the possibility of this happening."
"Barça has been too weak in the past two years, and El Clásico is far less passionate than before. Their lagging behind has slightly diminished Real Madrid's global popularity."
