The team presents the worst performance in almost four decades, the players do not measure up and on the bench “we have no explanations.”
Not even the rivals’ own goals save Barcelona from their own mistakes. The own goals are the third top scorer for the Barça team this season together with Antoine Griezmann. Only Leo Messi and Ansu Fati, with 4 goals each, have given the Barça fans more than those that rivals have inflicted on themselves. And even so Ronald Koeman’s Barcelona is still unable to overcome a game. Today he slept in seventh position and tomorrow he may fall even more.

As if they had forgotten what the Barcelona fans learned in the last three and a half decades have returned to 1987, even before the arrival of Johan Cruyff as coach. At least, that is the performance that shows the worst start since then but it is also that Ronald Koeman’s men do not show any sign of improving and They stumble in every game they play away from the Camp Nou, sinking a little more with each shift.
Increasingly incomprehensible mistakes
Two failures by Frenkie De Jong led to a draw at the Camp Nou against Sevilla and days later at Getafe. Another mistake by Norberto Neto and Gerard Piqué ended in defeat in Vitoria. Against Atlético it would be Marc-André Ter Stegen who would fail and in Cádiz it was Óscar Mingueza, even though the one of Clément Lenglet and, again, Ter Stegen is more bloody when Barcelona found itself in the middle of an attempt to come back, something that Koeman has not achieved despite having started losing up to six times.
“It is difficult to explain some goals conceded” expressed a visibly angry Koeman, who attributed to “the lack of concentration and aggressiveness without the ball” the errors that returned to condemn his team. The Dutchman came to accuse his players of “not comply with what we had said” and it was even released stating that “We conceded goals that I have not conceded in other teams that I have coached.”
An erratic and downward trajectory
Koeman asked to win all the games until the end of the year and the team fell to the first change, falling off LaLiga and decomposed on the pitch, without aggressiveness or concentration, with increasingly frequent and difficult to understand mistakes. So many, that they deactivate the -many- gifts that the Barcelona fans have received from their rivals. And so, It is not that it is difficult to compete, it is that it is impossible.
