Javi’s rough end

ANDBarcelona said goodbye Tuesday, Champions League and almost to the season, because the Blaugranas seem very difficult to regain the eight-point lead that Real Madrid has over them, even if they meet at the Bernabeu this Sunday. The match against PSG was the toughest something that Xavi has been going through lately with everything that comes with being eliminated from a major continental competition.

It was very difficult because Barcelona half an hour after the accident he had absolutely everything in his hands to get to the semi-finals. The victory achieved at the Parque los Principes was added at that moment by a goal scored by Rafinha, which further increased the distance with the French. However, from that moment on, events unfolded, and Javi became one of the main characters.

Expulsion of Araujo

Araujo’s action with Barcola, for which the Uruguayan was suspended pissed off the Barcelona coach who considered this red card unfair. He did not mince words in his protests, which culminated in him kicking one of the fences. His action ended with the new removal of the coach, who had gone too far in recent games. more time in the penalty area than in the stands. From that moment on, the team was left without a coach and was unable to maintain its advantage.

Words from the referee

At the end of the game, the coach, still very excited, went down to the grass and quickly approached the referee to reproach him for the action he called. He shook her hand and took a moment to tell her it was a disaster. The technician’s look said it all. The referee held on and the situation didn’t get any worse. At a subsequent press conference, he continued to criticize the referees, even recalling the games of the first match.

Goodbye technician

Javi realizes that his season is almost over. The illusion of the League remains, but it is rather a utopia than a real possibility. And with all this, his continuity on the bench at Barça. Despite everything that has been said in recent weeks, Javi’s intention was always to keep his word and will leave his post on June 30. “Barcelona will try to play in the Champions League again next season,” the coach said after the match, removing himself from the equation but adding nothing more.

League and Champions

The possibility of his continuation was only possible if he performed well in the Champions League and the Champions League. This did not happen, so he will leave his position at the end of the season. He will do this after a brilliant championship title. from last season, but with expectations that were not met this season. Financial problems that prevented the team from establishing itself well and numerous injuries meant that the season was empty, apart from a final miracle in the League.

However, even if there are no titles, the coach’s legacy is enormous. Under his leadership, players who were destined to become key players in the coming years debuted, such as Lamin Yamal and Kubarsi. His dedication to youth is beyond doubt and is something Barcelona will appreciate in the future.
