In Barcelona they knew that things were going to be tough, that there was no money to replace Lionel Messi and that the team would have to row from behind to stay up, but the situation is even more chaotic. The lack of connection between the bench and the board, the absence of a consolidated scheme and the low level of the workforce is very reminiscent of what happened in the capital with Julen Lopetegui in 2019.

That Real Madrid post Cristiano Ronaldo started with everything. Victories in the Champions League and in LaLiga made you believe that you could live without CR7, until October arrived. The defeats in the European Cup were dynamited a cycle without goal, aim, football and character that Barcelona itself was in charge of dynamiting with a 5-1 at the Camp Nou back on October 29, 2019. It was then, that the permanence of Lopetegui began to be in danger.

A date more than similar to the one that finally marked the end of the Koeman era in Catalonia. In Dutch, he left in similar conditions to the Basque ones, without the support of the board, with designated players and several points behind the leadership. The first was post Messi and Cristiano in the giants of LaLiga lasted only 2 months.
