It was more leading by the sucedido after the party, however, that by his incidence on the terrain of game. And it is that the Croat did not doubt in agreeing of the 'staff' technical of Ernesto Valverde in the mixed zone of the Camp Nou.
Shortly after that it finished the Barça-Raise, Rakitic went out of the changing room and soltó some hard words against the technical body of the ancient Barcelona trainer, that hardly did him play during the first phase of the season 2019-20.
