Really great. I love this sort of fic that weaves everything together, the stories behind the stories. You do it very well.

it was very nice! i mean i barely know a thing about Barcelona but it was good. :)

so. i absolutely love this. absolutely. it's just so saturated with subtext and discreet implications and it's henry and it's titi/bobby and it's ♥ you wrote the team dynamic within barca (and peripherally, arsenal) so beautifully, the transition from another club, a different league, a step down to a role that is unfamiliar and challenging at the same time. everything is just so intricate, complicated the way real life really is. really, really great :DDD

Xavi says, tone almost light, but there's something brittle in his eyes.
Thank you so much for putting this bit in. Thank you with all my heart. Oh, my Xavi. and he said Puyi! omg xD

Leo! I'm not in any way a Barca fan (in fact, I'm quite the opposite), but Lionel has a special place in my heart. And Thierry...♥
