The Barça of the Champions League has already managed to be LaLig'sto. The Blaugrana team lived in a double reality that contrasted a disastrous performance in LaLiga with excellence in Europe. It was to see what the reality was. Unfortunately for Barcelona, the metastasis has turned out to be unstoppable. Koeman's team is a wreck, a dying man that Juve gave the lace in early December. They lost the first place in the group after falling 0-3 against Juventus in a new exercise of impotence in which nothing went wellExcept for the sterile pride of a Messi who doesn't deserve to play alongside certain individuals.
Barça's horror movie factory has no brakes. If last Saturday in Cádiz, from the creators of 'El córner de Anfield' we received the premiere of 'El Carranza's throw-in', in the Champions League against Juve the winners of 'The beating of Lisbon' put everything on their side so that 'The grotesque of the Camp Nou' would triumph on screens around the world. Barça was shipwrecked against a Juventus that, if it had been half well, would have settled the discussion of the first group place in 30 minutes. It could even have done a lot more damage than it did. It's sad, but for Barça it could still have been worse. And it would not have been an injustice.
The catastrophic thing about Barça is not how they play, which is fatal, but rather that any solution seems to be already exhausted. Koeman tries to move the pieces within what he has, but the result is increasingly depressing. Pedri returned to the starting line, bordering Coutinho, Araújo came out in the center of the defense, Pjanic played again for Busquets and retired to Braithwaite so that Griezmann could play in front. With the exception of Pedri, who keeps trying, everything went awry.
Araújo was penalized by a penalty against Cristiano Ronaldo that only the referee saw but that does not justify the Blaugrana debacle, Pjanic did not contribute anything and Griezmann returned to interpret his role as invisible man.
If to that we add that Trincāo did not know whether to ask Cristiano for an autograph or contest a ball and that De Jong is still capable of playing worse every day than the previous one, Juve found a sweet tooth in Barcelona.
The Italians took the lead with a penalty invented by the referee in a fight between Araújo and Cristiano that the Portuguese transformed and celebrated as if it were the first goal of his life. The injustice of the penalty did not cover the terrible staging of the Blaugrana, unable to change the fate of a game clearly favored by the Italian side.
The ghost of the Lisbon spanking hovered over the Camp Nou at the moment in which McKennie finished off completely alone and posing for the photographers the second goal that equaled the result of the first leg. It was minute 20 and Barça was leaking everywhere.
In the Blaugrana boat, only Messi showed signs of rebellion, but showing more desire than ability. The Argentine tried Buffon a couple of times from afar, but the goalkeeper always appeared to ward off danger. Far from Messi, Barça was a circus in defense. The referee even forgave a hand penalty to Pjanic, probably due to the bad conscience of the one who pointed out about Cristiano. In the second part, already with the expiated sin he could not ignore the new absurd penalty of Lenglet in the second part that settled the funeral culé.
Already with the 0-3, Barcelona continued to be the image of agony. He wanted to cling to life but for each step forward a joke was played back. Bonucci scored the fourth in an offside after the umpteenth joke in defense of the Barcelona players, who already gave up the game for lost, but the goal was canceled for offside
The reality of this team is that of a dying man who was given the lace.
