The 'ghosts' that Barça is fighting against in the tough closing of the 2023/24 season

The FC Barcelona, very probably, had foreseen a closing of the season 2023/24 very different to the that is experiencing in the actuality. Until the day of today, the picture culé has lost all option to win some title in this course, after his deafening eliminations in the Supercopa of Spain (4-1 in front of the Real Madrid in the final), in the Glass of Rey (4-2 in the quarter-finals in front of the Athletic Club) and in the UEFA Champions League (deleted in quarter-finals by 4-6 in front of Paris Saint-Germain). Now only it remains them struggle by the second place against the Girona in LaLiga EA Sports, where his acérrimo rival, the combined merengue, already has topped champion.

In this sense, as it informs 'SPORT', the feeling in the changing room culé is of sadness and a remarkable mental fatigue. Obtain the subcampeonato will not change the feeling of desazón in a staff that came of a successful season, winning LaLiga 2022/23 and the Supercopa of Spain 2023. In front of this, expected that, with the good reinforcements that arrived, the Barcelonan square could aspire to new aims, but this does not have sucedido and the Barça will finish the season without winning any title, something that did not occur from the period 2021/22.

The challenges to which confronts the FC Barcelona in this closing of season 2023/24

Under these circumstances, the four remaining commitments in LaLiga EA Sports (Real Sociedad, UD Almería, Ray Vallecano and Seville), although important to ensure a place in the Supercopa of Spain, represent a big challenge for the motivation of a team that, according to the source quoted previously, already expresses the following message: "That this finish of once...". It is comprehensible this complaint, considering that in the FC Barcelona there are a lot of players of hierarchy accustomed to compete by big things at the end of the campaign. Therefore, arrive to this stage without at all at stake knows them to little, and this feeling probably do not change even if they win comfortably the meetings that remain them in the calendar.

It is not surprising, in this context, that the closing of the present season a series of challenges for the combined culé. According to some sources, in the changing room is difficult to find an expression of happiness, and apparently lives a moment anímico quite 'weighed'. This contrasts with the big environment of union that existed in the staff during part of the season, when the results were favourable. One can infer that this last carried to the back rectification of Xavi Hernández to abandon the Barcelona cast to the term of this campaign 2023/24.

Besides, it is innegable that exists some speculation around the rumours on high and drops in the club regarding signings. Although the players try to keep to the margin, is likely that arrive them information on possible movements, which, added to a context of defeats and designations, generates inevitably a situation something taut. It is necessary to take into account that they are few the players that consider untransferable.

The Barcelona cast is 'optimist' regarding the parties that remain him for contesting in LaLiga

However, in spite of all this, can not deny that the Barça will try to finish the season 2023/24 of the best possible way, surpassing the adversity and showing his professionalism. His next challenge will be the clash of the Monday 13 May against the Real Sociedad home, a meeting that, in case to obtain a positive result, would be one 'injection' anímica important and would help to calm the waters, recovering the second place. On the other hand, another trip would increase the pressure in all the levels of the club.
