Rayo win with Falcao goal - I think such scenario was simply written in the stars. They are doing very well this season and it was difficult to expect that Barca will win tonight.
Before game Barcelona on social media shared video from Barca win against Rayo somewhere 10 years ago. For me it seems that now they only can live sharing old good memories.
In other game Betis won 4:1 against Valencia.Well, such big win is something unexpected.
Can’t believe how bad Barcelona are at the moment. I guess they’ve had so much success over the last 15 or so years & every good thing comes to an end. They are a massive club though, they won’t be in the wilderness for long. There’s been a reliance on Messi for so long, obviously there would be a drop off, he couldn't be running the team there until he was 60. Maybe now he’s gone they can build the team around Pedri or something.
The main target this season is to get CL football for next season & at this stage it looks like even that will be tough. The Barca model wasn’t sustainable, the obscene wages & leveraging of debt, it was going to come crashing down at some point. They will be back though but it might take some time. As a Liverpool fan I have experience in long periods of mediocrity but just like Liverpool they can get back to the top, patience is required though.
If not terrible management by previous board and awful financial situation, departure of Messi wouldn't be such painful. Now club wasn't ready for such thing. Yeah, we will be back to glory sooner or later, but patience is needed. It's just one season and it's already difficult for us, then how Arsenal fans should feel?
