“Shame”, Barça pricks his crisis

Left unceremoniously from the Champions League by le Bavaria, this Friday in Lisbon (8-2), at the gates of the last square, Barça has thus fallen into a crisis that promises change.

Stunned, bruised for some, the people of Barcelona bowed heavily in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this Friday in Lisbon, outclassed by a bluffing efficiency Bayern (8-2). One more disillusionment for the Blaugranas in the most prestigious of competitions. Catalans who before this humiliation remained on three stinging eliminations conceded on collective shipwrecks: 4-0 defeat to Liverpool in the half-return last season; 3-0 defeat in Rome in 2018 in the quarterback and a 3-0 loss against Juve in the quarter-first of the 2016-2017 edition.

For Gerard Piqué, after the fact on the antenna of RMC Sport, the pill was necessarily difficult to swallow. ” It’s a horrible game, a shame. We can’t have a match like that. And this is not the first time. It’s very hard to live with. Everyone needs to think about it, the club needs changes. I’m not talking about coaches or players. I don’t want to point the finger at anyone but the club needs a change on all levels. And me first, if there is a need to inject fresh blood and change things, I will be the first to go if I have to. We are at a point … we are not on the right path! This has been going on for years, I repeat, the coaches and the players change… and we are not up to the level. To be able to do more, we have to change things. What happened today is unacceptable! »

What is certain is that we feel enormous frustration. You have to draw conclusions, make the right decisions thinking about the future. Barça are a great club and what happened tonight hurts a lot. We will have to change things. It is too early to think about my future, whether I will continue or not. The reality is that there will be a reflection to know if I correspond to the club. »

For the time being, on this last question, President Josep Maria Bartomeu kicks in touch. ” It’s a very difficult evening, a hard loss to take. For the supporters, the players… We are sorry for everyone. We didn’t live up to the club that we are, it was a disaster. Decisions will be announced and explained in the coming days. Some were already recorded before, even before the resumption of the Champions League. But this is not the time. Today is not a day to announce decisions. It’s a day to apologize to the socios, because it’s not a happy day for FC Barcelona… »
