The most painful goodbye – AS.com

When you don't want anything to change, chances are that everything gets worse. And the last Barça game this season in their stadium could serve to perfectly summarize the course of Koeman's. The defeat against Celta by 1-2 supposes the cruelest goodbye to LaLiga and a new rude stain that returns to depress an already desperate hobby every time that theirs face great moments, With the exception of a Cup that the players themselves have insisted on overshadowing.

He had in his hand throughout the afternoon Barça to reach the last day with options to fight for the championship. Atlético lost at Wanda and Barça was unable to overcome a Celta who showed them all their shortcomings. Barça's ability to lose LaLiga over and over again is legendary. The last day will be a procedure for Barça, as expected, but in the most painful way.

The blaugrana once again showed that they are a team that need a ton of chances to score a goal, that almost always comes through Messi, that in his decline still the best long, and that instead it is a squad that at the first blow of the rival goes to the ground.

Koeman remained in his thirteen in his last game of the season at the Camp Nou and maintained the system with the three centrals at the expense of a half-touched Araújo and using Dembélé again as a lane on the righta and limiting himself to exchanging the piece of the sanctioned De Jong for Ilaix. At Celta, without news either beyond the injury in the warm-up of Aidoo, which allowed young Carlos Domínguez to play his third game in First.

At the start, the game was a Barcelona monologue against a Celta who He went to the Camp Nou to see them come and confirming the feeling that little was being played. The Blaugrana dominance in the first 20 minutes resulted in a series of opportunities missed by Pedri, Griezmann, Dembélé and Messi that for the optimists it meant that the goal was about to arrive and for the pessimists that the gunpowder was still wet.

The usual, Messi, who played his last home game with the current contract, opened the scoring when he finished off a perfect center by Busquets. The old guard came to the rescue of Barça in the goal number 30 of the Argentine. Everything seemed controlled, because Celta, not even with the goal, offered vital signs. But this Barça is able to revive a dying person And this time he did not miss the appointment either. Fame compels.

In the first arrival of the Galicians, Santi Mina took the ball off the front firing a kick before which Ter Stegen made the statue in an unprecedented way. Again the glass jaw of a team that I was doing a more than decent match and that he threw the job overboard at the first turn.

The second part was ahead, where Barça, lately, has completed its field trips. Koeman this time moved at halftime and gave entry to Riqui Puig for Pedri.

Nothing moved on the set, which repeated the script from the first part. Barça pressing, failing goals, getting disorderly with every minute that passed, without the help of the bench until waiting for the traditional shot in the foot. It was useless that Atlético was inviting Barça for the umpteenth time to enter the fight. Koeman from the bench again increased the chaos and to which Celta went from midfield, with the Barça already with ten by expulsion of Lenglet, the most painful goodbye was certified.
