Barcelona had been showing signs of recovery after a disgraceful start to the season. The peak had occurred in the 4-0 rout against Real Madrid for the Spanish League. However, the team led by Xavi Hernández was surprisingly eliminated in the Europa League quarterfinals: they fell 3-2 to Eintracht Frankfurt at Camp Nou, after having tied for the first leg in Germany.
The fall was huge: when entering stoppage time the culé cast lost 3-0, but Sergio Busquets and Memphis Depay made up the score, although they did not manage to reduce the disappointment of the fans, who will see the epilogue of the season without celebrating a title.
On top of that, there was a shocking situation at the stadium: 25,000 German fans traveled to Spain to support their team, even though they only had disposal five thousand tickets. The other 20,000 bought tickets to occupy seats that were supposed to be for the fans of the cast.
This led to the fact that at halftime the ultras of the Catalan team abandoned their place behind one of the arches, in protest against the presence of the Eintracht Frankfurt fans. Finally, when they were 10 minutes away from the complement, they returned to their position to continue encouraging.
But the support was not enough and in the first year of Joan Laporta's administration, with the proposed changes, the showcase will not add official trophies. And the stumbling block caused a cataract of memes on social media. The focus, of course, was on the absence of Lionel Messi, whom the club did not renew his contract in mid-2021 when the star had traveled to Catalonia to stamp his signature.
The excuse of the leadership was the impossibility posed by financial Fait Play. However, the institution then made large expenditures to incorporate shaft names, such as Aubemayang and Ferrán Torres, in which it invested 55 million euros. These attitudes generated disbelief in the Argentine environment regarding the real reasons for his farewell.
Today Messi is in the PSG of the stars, forming a dream lead with Neymar and Mbappé. And, although he did not reach the goal of the Champions League, he is on his way to winning Ligue 1. Barcelona, without the Flea, accumulated a new failure. And on the networks they did not forgive him.
