We all saw it coming from afar and it truly came to past yesterday. Since the start of the season, Barcelona hasn’t shown any competitive urge in all the competitions. Many attributed the horrible situation to these factors: financial distress, poor administration, coaching problem, average players. What we witnessed was the true manifest of FC Barcelona. How does it affect the club in all fronts?
Koeman began the season after selling a considerate performance the previous edition. When Messi-Exit shock came, it created a huge black hole. Fans saw the signs in the league as the Catalans suffered to, even, beat lower sides. To make matter worse, Koeman’s tactics and decisions were disastrous. The European giant faced a humiliating run in the Champions League. Xavi was appointed to savage the situation, but nature had already decided their fate.
This drop to Europa League is a sharp blow to the club and its plan. In Laporta’s budget, they made estimates based on the hope that Barca can reach, at least, the Round of 16 in the UCL. Now that they are out, the Europa is the real Squid Game for the club to pay off their debts. At this point, Barca cannot afford to lose this second chance. It may be a downgrade for the team, but it coincides with the pedigree of their players.
Europa League must be a cash-out avenue for the Blaugranas. Let’s wait to see how this real-time Squid Game goes.
