Right in the middle of a coronavirus epidemic, there is no need to philosophize about how much the world has changed in five years, in any case it is worth looking at the summary of the 2015 Champions League final. In the final in Berlin, Ivan Rakitic , Luis Suárez and Neymar scored 3-1 against Barcelona against Juventus, and then Michel Platini, the then president of the European Football Association (UEFA), who has since been banned for dishonest treatment, handed over the cup to the now Qatari Xavi, who is training in al-Sadd. The Catalan star team was at the top in every way. For the first time in the history of sport, a club tripled for the second time (previously Barça was successful in 2008-2009), that is, in addition to BL, it also triumphed in the league and the national cup. He also had the strongest offensive trio and, according to many, the strongest of all time: the trio Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Neymar scored 122 goals in all series, 58 for Argentina, 39 for Brazil, 25 for Uruguay. The front.
Then, however, a slow decline began, and the club’s reputation is now overshadowed by various scandals. According to presidential candidate Víctor Font, the association is specifically competing for bankruptcy, while recently resigned vice president Emili Rousaud accuses Barcelona of corruption, which he is said to be able to prove with documents, otherwise five more members of the Together they have abandoned the sinking ship. The development of the current situation, of course, has led to many component equations, many bad decisions so far, and it’s also hard to say how realistic the predictions are that paint a dark vision. Remember, the team is currently competing in the league and the BL (the question, of course, is whether they will complete both series), which has always won at least one great trophy since 2015. At the same time, it’s also true that the struggles Internal and moral problems can cause unpredictable long-term damage.

Many see Neymar’s departure in 2017 as the main source of all trouble, but it’s too easy to figure that out. Note, for example, that three other key people besides him have left the team since the triple of 2015. The first was Xavi, who said goodbye that summer, who by the way said he would love to return to the club anyway, But only if he could start from scratch and the atmosphere in the locker room wouldn’t be poisoned. Two years later, in the summer of 2017, Luis Enrique said goodbye to Neymar, and a year later, Andrés Iniesta, who has been a legionary in Vissel Kobe, Japan, said goodbye to his educational association.
A coach, no matter how good he is, can still be replaced, but one of the best couples in football history who have known each other for a long time is almost impossible. Of course, Neymar’s resignation was a great cut, with the loss of a great attacker, the Catalan club suffered a great loss of prestige. The administration was certainly not in an easy position, but it was conceivable that the haste and unbridled spending that followed did not lead to good.
None of the soccer players destined for star certificates has really worked, Ousmane Dembélé is constantly in trouble, Philippe Coutinho, loaned to Bayern Munich, has failed to fit in (he is said to have another chance) and Antoine Griezmann is not yet brilliant in the front. Many believe that getting Neymar back may be the only solution, but it will be shared not only by fans but also by members of management. According to some news, the club’s president, Josep Bartomeu, really didn’t want to (re-sign) Brazil last summer, he simply took apparent steps to anger Mess against himself. Incidentally, the chances of the Argentine class leaving are still slim, but it is a sign that after the training of head coach Ernesto Valverde, he criticized sports director Éric Abidal in an unusually open manner. He also admitted in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that there is no explanation for BL’s elimination against Roma and Liverpool. As he said, such a fall can still be explained, but the fact that it will happen next year is no longer the case. But if you raise your voice, there really is something wrong …
There is also not always harmony on the field, but an even bigger concern is that there is a strong power struggle at heart. Next year’s presidential elections, it is true, may be brought up by leaders due to scandals. As already mentioned, six members of the presidency resigned and a storm called the Barcagate scandal broke out in February. According to information from the Cadena SER radio station, a public relations company called 13 Ventures, on behalf of FC Barcelona, operated more than a hundred false profiles on social networks with the aim of portraying President Bartomeu on the glory and end the camp by criticizing them (including Messi and Gerard Piqué).
The economic effects of the coronavirus epidemic are also challenging the club, and the loss of income is also sensitive to the financing of the Espai Barca project, which includes the renovation of the Camp Nou. There are currently two main camps. According to one, the club will face a fate similar to Manchester United or Milan in the near future, which means that the results achieved on the field will not be worthy of the club’s reputation. From the other point of view, the association is also going through this crisis.
In closing, let’s go back to triple 2015! Many may have forgotten, but there were also scandals that sparked a major storm that season. In January, for example, after a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad, Messi, who is said to have been offended by the rumors, did not attend training, Luis Enrique wanted to punish him, the Spanish press had already reported that his The relationship had inevitably deteriorated and the coach received an ultimatum. . The other acquaintance, of course, presumably required Enrique to be a good leader to smooth out contradictions like this.
Probably even now, it’s up to management to decide whether the club will go into an even deeper crisis or return to the top.
 He led the association from 2003 to 2010. Joan Laporta He would fight for the presidency, he also revealed his plans on the Gol show. “I want to restore the prestige of the club – said the 57-year-old foreman. “I am trying to bring together the people around me and decide at the end of the year or next year whether to run for president. Barcelona is a club of three billion euros. One billion is income, one billion is expenses and what It is debt. Consideration must be given to how to solve the precarious economic situation, since the association does not seem to be able to count on the income calculated in advance. “ During his presidency, the team won four championship titles and two Champions Leagues, followed by Sandro Rosell, who has since been cleared of embezzlement and tax fraud, who said in an interview with Mundo Deportivo that he would not have to go to jail. . .. |
