As one of the most important sports for Japanese people, it is not surprising that there is a manga dedicated to one of the most influential clubs in the world. Despite the good quality of the Barcelona F.C squad, the same cannot be said about this manga.
Being a one-shot, it is not surprising that the story has to go through some adaptations in order to remain relevant to the reader and at the same time fulfill its function. The real problem lies in this last part, after all, for a work published in a manga magazine it looks a lot like a half-baked article from
...
a magazine of football curiosities. To better understand this statement it is necessary to realize that each arc of this story is just the author reading information from some "Wikipedia Article" about an important aspect of the club at the time the manga was published. So it's not that the story is inaccurate, just that the reader could be better informed and entertained by watching YouTube or Tik Tok.
If the story was bad, imagine the artwork! First of all, it must be said that the artist in question ISN'T horrible, but rather that his work in THIS project can be considered the lowest point of his career. To understand how bad it was, I checked several times about the year and magazine in which this was published and still could not believe it. The best way to describe it would be as an extremely amateurish artwork that sometimes could easily be confused with something coming straight from a book called "How to Draw Anime".
About the final considerations, I don't recommend anyone to read this unless you are a Barcelona F.C fanatic or a fan of low quality manga. If you want to learn more about the team, it's best to look for a video on the Internet or watch a documentary.
