The fall of Barcelona: It is no longer a great of Europe, and it became one more team in La Liga

The team led by Sergi Barjuan, awaiting Xavi Hernández, squandered a three-goal lead against Celta on Balaídos after an exquisite first half and ended up signing the tables after a second half in which the Barça team collapsed. Iago Aspas, in the 96th minute, closed a new afternoon of terror for Barcelona in which Nico, Eric García and Ansu Fati, who will once again be the great absence in the concentration of the Spanish team, joined an infirmary that already it has eleven players.

While in Barcelona they wake up with the goodbye of Ronald Koeman and the name of Xavi Hernández gains strength among the leaders, there is a man who sleeps more peacefully every day. For years the figure of Ernesto Valverde was the most hit by the Culé press, but since his departure no one has been able to avoid what is a true free fall.

The players loved him, Messi was comfortable and the team knew what he was playing. Valverde had many mistakes, yes, but every day it becomes clearer that his dismissal at that time was a real step back in the club's sports area. The Extremaduran left with 66% of the points, numbers well above those that have led Barcelona into this abyss since then.

Koeman came and things did not change. Although youths were promoted and the King's Cup was won, the Dutchman was barely able to add 58% of the units in 67 games, returning Barcelona to numbers that had not been seen since Bobby Robson in 1997. The ghost of the departure of Valverde, more alive than ever in Barcelona.
