Newell's vs River Plate: Preview, predictions, odds, and how to watch 2021 Argentine Liga Profesional in the US today - Bolavip US

<p>The 2020-2021 season is already behind us, but <strong>UEFA</strong> is yet to reveal who was the best player of the year. Shocking as it may sound, neither <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> nor <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/cristiano-ronaldo-t2" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo</strong></a> are in the shortlist of candidates to win the <strong>2020/21 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year</strong>.</p>
<p>Instead, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/teams-with-most-uefa-champions-league-titles-of-all-time-20201021-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>UEFA Champions League</strong></a> winners <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chelsea</strong></a> have two of theirs in the race for the prize, while runners-up <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/manchester-city-t74" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Manchester City</strong></a> are also represented with the third nominee.</p>
<p>We wouldn’t be lying if we describe <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/juventus-t12" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Juventus</strong></a>‘ campaigns asdisappointing to say the least. Instead, all the spotlight was on the aforementioned <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/premier-league-t45" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Premier League</strong></a> clubs, who reached the grand final that both <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messis-psg-debut-every-ticket-sold-for-reims-match-against-psg--20210824-0015.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Messi</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/report-cristiano-ronaldo-considering-man-city-move-from-juventus-players-involved-in-the-deal-20210825-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cristiano</a> would have liked to play.</p>

<h2>Three nominees to the 2020/21 UEFA Men’s Player of the Year</h2>
<p>The final three nominees to the award werevoted by a jury composed of 24 coaches of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/euro-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Euro 2020</strong></a> national teams, 80 coaches of the teams that played in 2020/21 <strong>UCL</strong> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/europa-league-t31" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Europa League</strong></a> group stages, and 55 journalists selected by the European Sports Media group, onefrom each of UEFA’s member associations.</p>

<p>They did finish in the top 10, but only the Argentine seemed close to being nominated, having earned 148 points. It would have made sense, as he shone despite Barca’s problems on the field and then won the long-awaited <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/copa-america" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Copa America</strong></a> with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/argentina-t30" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Argentina</strong></a>. But, to be fair, the three final candidates are deservedly in contention.</p>
<p>On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has only received 16 points from the jury. <strong>Individually, hedidn’t have a bad season at all</strong>, amassing 36 goals in 44games. But Juve were out of the UCL race <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/funniest-memes-and-reactions-to-juventus-kicked-out-of-champions-league-by-porto-20210309-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">early</a> and had a sour finish to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/serie-a-t47163" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Serie A</strong></a> season. Cristiano seemed to be as good as always, but unfortunately, he was overshadowed.</p>

UEFA Player of the Year awards 2020/21: Why aren't Messi and Ronaldo among the nominees?

UEFA Player of the Year awards 2020/21: Why aren't Messi and Ronaldo among the nominees? - Bolavip US

<p>It’s been a wonderful ride, but it suddenly came to an end. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/lionel-messi-t13" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Lionel Messi</strong></a> will no longer play for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/barcelona-t11" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Barcelona</strong></a> after 16 seasons with the first team and nearly <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-old-was-lionel-messi-when-he-joined-barcelona-20210810-0022.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">21 years</a>since joining La Masía. One of thegreatest players of all time – if not the best, the Argentine superstar could have certainlyleft Barcain a better way <strong>after all he has done for the club</strong>.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, his journey has come to anabrupt endand he was unable tobid farewellto a packed Camp Nou. Messi is now in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/psg-t16721" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>PSG</strong></a> ready to embark on his first adventure awayfrom <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/how-long-has-lionel-messi-played-for-barcelona-20210805-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Barcelona</a>, who – again – were incapable ofsaying goodbyeto a legend <strong>in the way he deserved</strong>.</p>
<p>Messi’s departure was probably the most hurtful one for Barca’s fans, but they’ve gone throughsimilar situations before. Here, we’ll take a look at the <strong>13 renowned players who have left Barcelona on bad terms</strong>.</p>
<h2>Lionel Messi</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628712952834/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/leo_messi_2020_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Lionel Messi left Barcelona and will play for PSG. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The day we thought we would never see has finally happened, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-leaves-how-much-would-barcelona-lose-after-his-departure-20210809-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Lionel Messi has left Barcelona</a> <strong>to join another European club</strong>. Sadly, <strong>his problems with the previous board over the last few years proved costly</strong> and, even though <strong>Joan Laporta</strong> seemed to be on better terms with him, things weren’t turned around. Only a year ago, the soccer world was in shock as Messi wanted out amid a terrible relationship with <strong>Josep María Bartomeu</strong>.</p>
<p>Ayear left on his contract prevented him from leaving for free, but that situation had a big impact. <strong>He didn’t sign a new deal</strong>and, once a free agent, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/la-liga-t48" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>La Liga</strong></a>‘s regulations forbid Barca from affording his new contract. He left better than he would have done it in 2020, but the way in which he left is still sour after everything he had lived in Barcelona.</p>
<h2>Luis Suárez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628712987021/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/suarez_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Luis Suarez joined Atletico Madrid and won La Liga. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Messi’s desire to leave in 2020 didn’t come out of the blue. He wasn’t the only one to experience a bad moment at the club, if not ask <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/luis-suarez" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luis Suárez</strong></a>. The Uruguayan striker has scored <strong>195 goals</strong> in six years at Barcelona and he could have left as the superstar he was.</p>
<p>Instead, a phone call was all he got. <strong>Ronald Koeman</strong> didn’t seem to have him on his plans but <strong>the situation could have been handled differently</strong>. Suárez didn’t take long to prove Barca were wrong on this one and went on to win La Liga 2020/21 with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atletico-de-madrid-t133215" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Atletico Madrid</strong></a>. Later, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/luis-suarez-opens-up-on-his-exit-from-barcelona-and-winning-la-liga-with-atletico-madrid-20210525-0008.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">he reflected on his exit</a> and stated that Koeman <em>“didn’t have much personality.”</em></p>
<h2>Samuel Eto’o</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713057266/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/etoo_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Samuel Eto’o spent two seasons in Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Samuel Eto’o</strong>‘s stint with Barcelona was one to remember, but things haven’t ended well. The Cameroonian star had an impactful first season in 2008/09when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/pep-guardiola-how-many-champions-league-titles-has-he-won-as-a-coach-manchester-city-barcelona-20210506-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pep Guardiola</strong></a>‘s boys won the treble in great fashion.</p>
<p>He had even scored the opening goal in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Champions League</strong></a> final, but Guardiola wouldn’t count on him for next season. Eto’o has even stated he loved Pep as a coach, but not as a person, and had a fantastic season with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/inter-t127" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Inter Milan</strong></a> in 2009/10.</p>
<h2>Rivaldo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713103552/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/rivaldo_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Rivaldo in action with Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Brazilian megastar left Barcelonaafter five years in 2002 when <strong>Louis van Gaal</strong> returned to Camp Nou. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/barcelona-top-goalscorers-all-time-20201115-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rivaldo</strong></a> had previously played under the Dutchman from 1997 to 2000, but <strong>their relationship was never great</strong>.</p>
<p>The Ballon d’Or winner had even said that he left because of van Gaal:<em>“I don’t like him and I’m sure he doesn’t like me either.”</em>Rivaldo was still in his prime after winning the 2002 World Cup with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/brazil-t146535" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Brazil</strong></a> and joined <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/ac-milan-t27122" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>AC Milan</strong></a>.</p>
<h2>Luis Figo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713131694/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/figo_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Luis Figo made a switch to Real Madrid. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>When we talk about players who left Barcelona on bad terms, <strong>Luis Figo</strong> will probably be atop the list. The Portuguese star was an idol but <strong>the love was over when he joined lifelong rivals <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/real-madrid-t23" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Madrid</a></strong> right away.</p>
<p>Amid back-and-forth with the Cules’board, Figo signed for the Merengues in 2000 and was part of the <strong>Galacticos</strong> era. From then on, there was no turning back and the Blaugranashave never forgiven him.</p>
<h2>Ronaldinho</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713165849/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/ronaldinho_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Ronaldinho played for five years in Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most beloved players in world soccer, the Brazilian sensation was a complete standout during his time with Barcelona. <strong>Ronaldinho</strong> arrived at Camp Nou in 2003 and <strong>helped the club tasting continental glory three years later</strong>.</p>
<p>However, things have taken a differentdirection by <strong>2008</strong>, when his relationship with the board was broken and his future at Barca seemed over. Ronaldinho then joined AC Milan, but a few years later <strong>he confessed that Pep Guardiola asked him to stay</strong>.</p>
<h2>Hristo Stoichkov</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713203856/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/stoichkov_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Hristo Stoichkov during his time with Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Another player who left the club on bad terms with Louis van Gaal, <strong>Hristo Stoichkov</strong> played for Barcelona from 1990 to 1998 – although he spent a year on loan at <strong>Parma</strong> in 1995/96, during <strong>Johan Cruyff</strong>‘s era at Barca’s helm.</p>
<p>The Bulgarian star <strong>decided to end his contract with the Cules in 1998</strong>, blaming Louis van Gaal for not playing for more than a year. He didn’t leave on good terms with <strong>Josep Luis Nuñez</strong>, Barca’s president at that time, either.</p>
<h2>Ronaldo</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1628713256670/sites/bolavip/img/2021/08/11/ronaldo_barcelona.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Ronaldo only played one season for Barcelona. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>

<p><strong>Ronaldo</strong>‘s departure from Barcelona was quite shocking. He made agreat impressionin his first season at Camp Nou, scoring an amazing <strong>47 goals in 49 games</strong> in 1996/97, when he was only 20 years old.</p>
<p>They failed to get hold of him, though, as Inter Milan <strong>paid his buyout clause</strong>. Only five years later, Ronaldo signed for Real Madrid and joined the famous Galacticos in a huge blow for the Cules.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Michael Laudrup</strong> was part of the so-called ‘<strong>Dream Team</strong>‘ under Johan Cruyff’s guidance. His best days were at Barcelona, where he landed in 1989 as the Dutchman was keen on signing him. He went on to win four leagues and the club’s first <strong>European Cup</strong>, but things didn’t end well.</p>
<p>While his relationship with Cruyff and the boardwasn’t good anymore, <strong>Romario</strong>‘s arrival in 1993 didn’t help either, as Barca neededto offload one of their foreign players.In 1994, Laudrup joined Real Madrid in <strong>another shocking move</strong> for the Catalans.</p>
<h2>Romario</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Romario had a great but <strong>short stint</strong> at Camp Nou. He signed for Barcelona in 1993, scoring an impressive 32 goals in 47 games in his first season, but didn’t last much longer as he and Johan Cruyff <strong>didn’t getalong anymore</strong>.</p>
<p>In January 1995, after winning the 1994 World Cup with Brazil, Romario returned home to join <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/flamengo" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Flamengo</strong></a>. Cruyff mentioned that he couldn’t care less if he was unhappy and wanted to leave.</p>
<h2>Zlatan Ibrahimovic</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zlatan-ibrahimovic" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Zlatan</strong></a> signed for Barcelona in 2009 due to Pep Guardiola’s eagerness to land him while Samuel Eto’o was packing his bags. By the end of the season, however, <strong>Ibrahimovic</strong> was no longer a priority for Pep.</p>
<p>The Swedish star was replaced in the first leg of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/uefa-champions-league-all-time-winners-list-by-year-20210526-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Champions League</a> semifinals against Inter when Barca were trailing, and that series seemed to end hisgood relationship with the Spanish manager. <strong>Zlatan never returned to the starting XI after Barcelona’s elimination</strong> and joined Milan in 2010.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Bernd Schuster</strong> spent eight years in Barcelona before signing for Real Madrid in 1988. That was just <strong>one of the many controversial episodes</strong> in his career. Schuster had been in the eye of the storm for <strong>abandoning the 1986 European Cup final on a taxi</strong> after being replaced.</p>
<p>Despite being one of the Cules best players at the time, he left the club on such bad terms that he didn’t mind joining the rivals. In an interview with <em>El Pais</em>, however, <strong>he stated that he wasn’t looking for revenge</strong>, that he was even grateful for his eight seasons with Barca.</p>

<p>Barcelona were the first European club to sign the Argentine legend after the 1982 World Cup. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/lionel-messi-to-psg-diego-maradona-warned-that-barcelona-forget-their-idols-too-quickly-20210810-0018.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> proved his talent with the Blaugrana and won three titles, but his two seasons were <strong>hit by injuries and illness</strong>.</p>
<p>In1982/83 Diego was ruled out for about four months with hepatitis. The following season didn’t begin well for him either, as he was sidelined for another three months after <strong>Andoni Goikoetxea</strong>‘s ugly challenge. His tenure at Barcelona ended with the infamous ‘<strong>Battle of Bernabeu</strong>‘, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/youtube-barcelona-and-athletic-club-brawl-in-1984-copa-del-rey-video-diego-maradona-fight-against-bilbao-20210416-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the brawl</a> in the<strong>1983 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/copa-del-rey-t210" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Copa del Rey</a> final</strong>between the Cules and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/athletic-club-t365" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Athletic Bilbao</strong></a>.</p>
