Barcelona disaster in Antwerp that aggravates the situation of Xavi Hernández

FC Barcelona traveled to Antwerp in the middle of a very toxic environment around Xavi Hernández. The club's board is very angry with the coach for his explanations after the defeat against Girona. For the coach, the team was better than the Gironí team, something that the Blaugrana leadership does not share. The lack of self-criticism has bothered the club and the team has arrived with a somewhat strained atmosphere.

Support is decreasing for Xavi Hernández after tonight's Champions League match against Antwerp. A team that has not been able to win a single game until today in the group stage has beaten an unrecognizable Barcelona. Not even a minute had to pass before he saw the first dangerous opportunity against the Barça team. In the second, the result was a goal for the Belgians.

An inappropriate error by an FC Barcelona player gave Antwerp a golden opportunity, which thus took the lead on the scoreboard, deepening a crisis that seemed to have a small oasis in today's match. It was not until the 35th minute when Barça reacted thanks to Ferran Torres. The Barça striker took advantage of a great assist from Lamine Yamal to tie the score.

Quite a mirage. Janssen would sign the sentence. After a weak reaction from Barcelona, the locals took advantage of the moment and the defensive fragility to completely destroy the club's image tonight in the Champions League. The classification to the round of 16 was resolved, but now what is aggravated is the crisis around the Barcelona bench. Guiu's goal seemed to save the day, however, on the next play, Ilenkihena put the icing on the cake in favor of the Belgians.

The disaster is consummated

The time in the locker room did not help to change the face of Barça either. In fact, what came shortly after the restart was Antwerp's second goal, although the goal was disallowed for offside. The action, however, once again portrayed the youth team's full-back Héctor Fort, overwhelmed at all times. The finale still had one last malevolent twist in store. Marc Guiu equalized with a header already in added time and made us believe in the culé miracle for a moment, but immediately afterwards and with Barça overturned, Ilenikhena defined the counterattack. Defeat was something impossible to avoid for a Barça that is crying out for a Christmas break.
