ATHLETIC CLUB FC BARCELONA
Barça started like almost never before and ended like almost always. That is to say, the Blaugranas jumped onto the pitch concentrated, with clear ideas and with that obligatory intensity that we had demanded so many times. It seemed that those initial blunders that ended in a goal, causing a mess that was difficult to fix, were over. There was no goal against, but the hopeful start was just a mirage. In other words, a little more grit and less bad luck were missing.
Any hope was completely lost after Jong’s injury. With his absence, order disappeared and the center of the field was extinguished. Even more so when Pedri was also injured. From that moment on, Barça was more in tow of a less intense Athletic team than on other occasions.
a bad match
It was not a good game, there was a lack of success and creating opportunities. I say this because Barça only needed a victory if they wanted to overcome Girona and continue putting pressure on Madrid. And as the minutes passed and the team did not react, the feeling of a lost opportunity took over a desperate Xavi. The Barça coach was sanctioned again with a new yellow card and his image reminded us of those chaotic matches that seemed forgotten. So much so, that this time there was no excuse. The coach recognized the team’s poor play

Given what we have seen, it is impossible to dream about the League. What’s more, being realistic, the only hope now is to fight for that second position that would allow Barça to compete in the next Arabian Super Cup and thus earn a few million more than necessary for the club’s damaged economy.
To all this, we will have to see who and how replaces de Jong and Pedri. Two almost essential footballers in the Barça midfield. Injuries aside, the team has taken a step back in one of the most important moments of the season. Well, the only thing left to do is try to finish second, beat Napoli and cross your fingers…
