BarcelonaBarça’s minimum draw in Getafe to tie the Champions zone and second place. Barça’s performance, however, was to be forgotten. Then the hot notes of the afternoon football to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.
Soporific end of season. Barça is ending the campaign because it puts it in the contract. The team hit the sky at the Santiago Bernabeu and has not played a single notable game since then, which has deprived him of a fight for the League and wiped him out of the Europa League. The official version of the last few weeks, apart from the happy return of Ansu Fati, is not very edifying, but it has been enough to tie the runner-up and the place to the next Champions. Although Xavi revived the dead and saved the course, the closing of the course is soporific. The paper in the Coliseum is not worthy of what Barça wants to proclaim from the bench and from the market.
Paperot, yes. Unlike the Barça women’s team, which beat Atlético de Madrid in the morning, although this helped Real Madrid in the standings, in the afternoon, the men’s team did not attack a Getafe that was worth a draw for ensuring permanence, exactly what Barça needed to reach second place. The show was unfit for an official match. The locals, who usually express themselves with great intensity, did not commit any foul until the end of the first half. The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 2 minutes, Ferran Torres broke through the center and found himself alone with the keeper. Obviously there was no clear chance to score. It’s legitimate to go out and play for the minutes to pass, but it hurts your eyesight.
A former player. A strong message from Xavi about the confidence that Umtiti gives him, a player who is more useful in the offices – without his renewal the club would not have been able to register Ferran Torres – than on the pitch. The French center-back is, by far, the first team player with the least participation this season. He is even surpassed by Kun Agüero, who retired in the fall. Big Sam also did not play at the Coliseum, where coaches preferred to make up for the avalanche of casualties on defense with Balde, a young man who has also played very little, rather than with him. How long will the waste of having it in the locker room last?
Poor explanations. Maxi Rolón, a 27-year-old former Barça player, died in a car accident in Argentina on Saturday night. He had played for Barça with the youth team – with which he was European champion – and also with the subsidiary. His loss caused a stir in La Masia and also in players of the current first team who, like Adama, had matched. However, Barça did not put a black arm on Getafe. The argument was that Rolón never made his debut at the Camp Nou and that B had already worn the mournful symbol in his match against Sevilla Atlético. Sometimes it’s best not to try to explain the decisions you make.
