Stop excuses – something has gone terribly wrong at Barcelona
Barcelona sacked Ernesto Valverde and tried to hire Xavi Hernandez only for him to reject them and instead force them to turn to Quique Setien?
Do you remember when Lionel Messi called out sporting director Eric Abidal for his comments about the players' work rate under Valverde?
Barcelona's historically devastating defeat must usher in a radical change.
Lionel Messi is the most gifted player in history, and Barcelona have wasted him.
Lionel Messi is unwilling to renew his Barcelona contract - reports.
Do you remember when six of the club's directors resigned in protest at the way the club was being run?
Incredibly, all of that happened in the last eight months.
2020 has been an astonishing year so far for Barcelona and that is without mentioning the issue between the board and the players regarding a potential pay-cut or taking into account that their league season was suspended for three months due to a global pandemic. Or that reports have emerged casting doubt over the future of Messi. To crown it all off, on Friday evening they were humiliated by Bayern Munich, who stuck eight past the hopeless Catalans.
At the start of the last decade, Barcelona were the pinnacle of club football. Yes, they were about to watch their arch-nemesis Jose Mourinho lift the Champions League with Inter Milan but they were the kings of the world. Their team was a perfect blend of experienced signings and superstar academy products led by a tactical revolution.
Yet 10 years later what do Barcelona have to show for it? Pep Guardiola won one more Champions League title in 2011 before calling it a day at the club citing fatigue. Since his departure, the team has only one more European title whilst eternal rivals Real Madrid have won four.
