The past 3 May, does only twelve days, listened sing to the players of the FC Barcelona the "champions, champions" in the middle of a meeting organised by Leo Messi in his domicile to strengthen the bonds between the footballers and encourage to litigate in the last stretch of LaLiga Santander, when had true options to trace back him the classification to the Athletic of Madrid and carry the title.
The roasted in the house of the captain came preceded of the suffered victory of the Barça in Mestalla, in front of Valencia, by 2-3. The blaugrana had achieved to trace back the so much initial of Gabriel Paulista and commanded a clear message to his competitors: 'we go to litigate to the end'. This same weekend, the Athletic and Real Madrid also had fulfilled in his respective commitments and the culés did not depend on yes same to be champions, but if they won the following split the history went to be much simpler.
The environment, in theory, was more than positive and the players, staff and all the barcelonismo saw able to the team to achieve the doublet. The first big error. From the plot, have gone in free fall until arriving to the point that, to fault of a week and days so that it finish the season, are practically sentenced. And it is that from 3 May the culés have lost four of six possible points in the championship, in front of an Atleti and Madrid that follow firm in the fight by the title.
In front of the Athletic, went the first 'prick' and one of the most bitter afternoons for the ones of Ronald Koeman, that did not know to read the party and remained neutralised in front of the approach of a 'Cholo' Simeone that wants the title. Marc-André ter Stegen turned into the 'octopus' of the team to cut across the constant shots of the rojiblancos, with Marcos Llorente, Luis Suárez, Carrasco and Belt very enchufados. Finally, the Barça reacted, but already was very late. They achieved incomodar to Jan Oblak, but without sufficient puntería. The same history of always.
Miraculously, this weekend finished with the classification as it was, after the tie of the Real Madrid and Seville in the Gave Stéfano, but the Barça went back to desaprovechar his opportunities. In the day 36, played between week, the ones of Koeman visited the stadium of Ciutat of Valency to confront to the Raise, with the possibility to put like provisional leaders of the championship and once again, as always, left to happen the train. In front of the 'granotas', the Catalans signed one of his worst parties of the season that, save to surprise, left them sentenced.
Of the party in front of the Valencians all remained signalled, especially Ronald Koeman. After a first very good part of the culés, that had finished with a 0-2 thanks to the goals of Leo Messi and Pedri González, the team went to rack and ruin. The Raise achieved to equalise the marker in less than five minutes, but Ousmane Dembélé returned the advantage. Finally, with an unrecognizable team and without hardly attitude of the players, the venues went back to sign the tables to fault of seven minutes for the pitazo final.
The plot was not sufficient
To this Barçto does him fault a lot of changes, revolutions and a 'miracle' to go back to be competitive, in Spain and Europe. The culés began the season in the middle of a sportive crisis and will finish it the same, with the feeling that it could do much more and that was missing attitude and commitment to achieve the aims because, yes, the Glass of the King was a joy and illusion that, in theory, went to serve of 'impulse' to achieve LaLiga, but all has finish in at all.
Only it remains to expect to that in the last parties of the season, the Barça can raise head and, at least, finish the course with better feelings of which there is right now and struggling to the end to finish, if possible, in the top 3 of the competition and not being surpassed, besides, by the Seville.
