A majority of the culés complained about ‘only’ winning La Liga the past season. Today, Culés wakes up to La Liga taken away and given to archrivals Real Madrid. The problem doesn’t lie solely on Sétien. Or on Sarabia. Or on the players. Instead, it’s a much deeper problem. Results covered many of the problems in Valverde’s era. For Sétien, it’s without results. Without results, the real face of the current FC Barcelona is clear: It is not the flashy and glorious Barcelona under Pep & Laporta, but a much darker reality. The culés are now sure they will go trophyless, yesterday’s game failing to provide confidence for the upcoming Champions League clash against Napoli next month. Looking bad from the start The game started badly. Whilst we were dominant on the ball, there were far too little chances. Barcelona conceded counter-attacks on the right wing due to complacency, leaving Semedo in unfavourable 1v2 situations.
Tearful Pique bids farewell as Barcelona beats Almer�a 2-0BARCELONA, Spain — Gerard Pique kept his composure until he began to tell the 92, 000 crowd how much he loved his boyhood club. Then, the tears flowed uncontrollably for the 35-year-old Barcelona defender and multi-trophy winner as it sunk in that he would never play for his home fans again. Pique played his last match at Camp Nou on Saturday, making his 616th appearance for Barcelona in a farewell that was sweetened by a commanding 2-0 win over Almeria that lifted the hosts to the top of the Spanish league.
Early enough, the inevitable happened. Semedo overworked, the cross incoming, goal. After 15 minutes, Arnaiz stunned Barcelona’s defense with a banger. Surrounded by our defenders, Arnaiz still scored. Barcelona had no choice but to score if they wanted to avoid the first loss in a while in the Camp Nou. Around the 20’, Barcelona started playing fluidly.
Even more worrying was the post-match interviews. Sétien admitted ‘I’m hoping to still be manager for the UCL’, whilst Messi fired shots at the Cantabrian once again: ‘I’ve said it before, this is not sufficient for the UCL, nor for the league. We have been bad since January’. A clear hint to his preference towards Valverde and dissatisfaction with Sétien. Now, Madrid are champions.
He was applauded after the first touches he made and when he was substituted late on. He hugged each of his teammates and waved to the crowd, which gave him a standing ovation. After taking a lap of honor around Europe’s biggest soccer stadium, Pique took up a microphone to say that he plans to return to the club in the future, but not as a player. In the past, he has said that one day he may consider running for club president. “In life, when you grow up, sometimes to love is to let go, ” he said before breaking down. “There is so much love, so much passion between Barça and me that it was time to give us some space, some air, and I am convinced that in the future I will be back. My grandfather made me a club member the day I was born. I was born here and will die here.

Long live Barça forever. ”Pique, a world and European champion with Spain and a three-time Champions League winner with Barcelona, made the unexpected announcement this week that this would be the final home game of his 14-year career with the Catalan club. He said that he would not play for any other team. After Robert Lewandowski missed an early penalty, Ousmane Dembélé opened the scoring against the outclassed Almería in the 48th minute and Frenkie de Jong put the result beyond doubt in the 62nd. The win lifted Barcelona two points ahead of Real Madrid before it plays at Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

PIQUE’S LEGACYA skilled passer and scorer from his position of centerback, Pique was a part of Barcelona’s most storied teams alongside Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta, and current coach Xavi Hernández. He helped Barcelona win 30 titles, including eight Spanish leagues and seven Copa del Rey crowns. Pique scored 52 career goals for Barcelona and shares the record for most Champions League goals scored by a defender on 16, along with former Real Madrid left back Roberto Carlos. In his youth, Pique played with Messi and Cesc Fabregas as part of a golden generation of youngsters at Barcelona’s “La Masia” training academy.
It never happened. Yellow cards followed: Piqué earns the suspension, just like Braithwaite & Firpo. Nothing went well, despite Ansu & Riqui’s encouraging display. For Barcelona was far too clueless to appear to be threatening. What we saw was an inoffensive Barça. Finally, in the very last minute, the deadlock was broken. By Osasuna, who scored in the last minute to make it 1-2, the final nail in the coffin.
Culés thought chances were coming. Whilst Barcelona tried to break Osasuna’s tough lines, it’s with very rare occasions Barcelona managed to break through. A clear lack of width despite Ansu’s presence didn’t help either. On the ball, the Catalans were too predictable and couldn’t break the block properly. 75% possession.. for what? On the ball, we dominated. But rare were the chances, rarely clear cut. And once the Catalans lost possession, (64 times in the first half), they were unable to recover the ball quickly enough.
