The costumes, “screwed up” for having resurrected Real Madrid and giving them half a League

“Fucked, resigned and dejected.” In this graphic way they summed up ACE when we asked about the sensations that were inside the locker room after the defeat before the Real Madrid (2-0). The return of the Blaugrana expedition was a real funeral, especially since the feeling that the team had let a dying man escape who was about to give up reigned. In addition, the fact of losing the leadership, and going back to tow, left touched a team that begins to notice that the battery is starting to run out.

Although there are still twelve days and 36 points to play, the players were aware that they had just given half a league to Real Madrid. A win at the Bernabéu or even a draw put the white team in a very compromised situation, with a foot and a half out of the Champions League and without depending on themselves in LaLiga. But now, the situation has taken a turn after 2-0: the whites depend on themselves to win the championship and have received a moral overdose to face the return of the Champions League against City.

Confused faces, few words and overwhelming silence were distributed equally during the return flight. Not even Josep Maria Bartomeu, who headed the entourage, was able to reduce general discouragement. A president, by the way, as much as they say publicly, still does not have the absolute approval of the captains, after the episode of social networks. For his part, the technician Quique Setién He tried to lift the morale of his men with a brief speech inside the locker room, before taking the coach, where he congratulated his players because they had given everything in the field.

So, Barcelona now only has the cartridge of the Champions to carry out a season as atypical as strange. With The league one point below, which really are two if we add the 'goal average', the European competition is presented as the only salvation table. However, it was his own Leo Messi, who made it clear that with this template he did not give them to win the Champions League. So, the reality is that they paint clubs.
