Barcelona lost all chances on the league title in the penultimate round, having lost to Osasuna at home.

The apogee of Catalan Barcelona fever was matchday 37 match at Camp Nou against Osasuna from the middle of La Liga standings. Blaugranas lost 1:2, but even a probable victory of Quique Setien’s team would not delay the champion medals of Real Madrid.

Despite the fact that Barcelona tried with all its strength to unlock defense of unmotivated opponents, which secured themselves a spot in La Liga next season long time ago and lost all mathematical chances on the European cups, the loss hit the team hard. After the match, Barca leader Lionel Messi gave an interview, in which he took all the blame and emphasized that the tendency has been around for a long time,

“To be honest, we did not want for everything to end that way. But the game with Osasuna is our whole season in miniature. We were too weak and vulnerable. When another team defeats us with the help of intensity and desire, it is not normal.

We have lost to many points and that match summed up our season,” Messi said live on Movistar +.

Whereas the team head coach parried the loss with the words that it was an absolutely unfair defeat and the Catalans did not deserve such thing. Due to such a difference in interpretation of the event, there is immediate understanding of problems in the club. The Argentine also stated that Barcelona should change after defeats from Roma and Liverpool in the Champions League. As if this doesn’t happen, they will lose to Napoli.

Such words from Messi sound like a call for management to pay attention to Setien’s managerial activity, who is barely supported at the club, in spite of the official position of the management. If the manager is not changed before the Champions League, then this will happen by the end of the current season.
