The Downfall of Barcelona: How it Happened

A decade ago, FC Barcelona used to be the most feared club in the world... but now they've fallen off. Do you think they'll ever be as good as 2006/2009/2011/2015 ever again? 🤔

Simple thing barcelona had money of neymar 220 m and waste it Liverpool had 150m of coutinho and bought Alison and fabinho letter VVD... If there was a wise man like Johan cruyff and pep they would have bought a cb after mascherano, a young RB of Dani alves, a creative mid fielder but all they did try to fulfill a neymar fool people. If your forward not strong buy 3 strong cb you will be in a final at least(like current man city without aguero they are likely will become premier league bcz defence is like wall).. but their forward was strong enough with messi Suarez they only had to straighten defence and midfield with that 300 m rest messi and Suarez would take care.😥😥😥

Messi should definetly leave. There is too much anchored to his person that cripples Barcelona as a club. In particular his salary, status and reputation among fans. If Messi's unhappy, the fans are unhappy. If Messi has a bad day, the fans think the club is declining. For me the very first bad decision that contributed to a decline was letting Thiago leave. I pictured him as the perfect substitute for Xavi. After that there were so many promising talenst that I was suprised of finding out that they'd left the club after an intermission. Players like Tello, Munir, Rafinha, Bartra, Bojan, Deulofeo, Cuenca and so on. They all made early season appearances during Guardiola but that changed when the Bartomeu era started. Great talents got replaced by big names in the very same Galacticos fashion of RMA. Let Messi go and focus on the talents. What goes up has got to fall but may rise again

I feel like the aging stars being selfish makes it hard for the transition of old guard to new guard to take place, because they were so good that you inclined to play them rather than risk using young new players.

10:03 bro what? he wasn’t captain during the roma lost, & the 18/19 season he carried hard, his team let him down, they did nothing, he had a right to just “give up” on them, it was their fault

[@big04member]

I knew this back in 2017 , I knew its decline would start right after David Villa, Xavi and Masherano. The old team was legendary ( Valdes,Puyol,Xavi,Iniesta,Ronaldinho,Etoo and Thiery Henry) due to the fact that most of them had chemistry regarding both managers Pep and Rikjard, Not only for their chemistry but the midfield was the playmaker back then. While Pep in 2011 would kick out some old players it still came as an advantage for him since he knew how to use young players and a world class midfield. Around the arrival of Suarez and the creation on MSN there was a tiny drop in that phase yes they won a UCL and every spanish trophy it came at a cost because Enrique never planned for the next new midfield regarding both Xavi and Iniestas retirement. By 2017 Neymar had left but this wasn't bad enough. It was the leaving of Iniesta and Enrique. As Valverde took over that turned for the worse contributing Messi being captain. Valverde never knew anything about transfers and would rarely use young players or train them well, he would always lower the chemistry. Messi also as captain never contributed anything he was a great player but a bad captain, despite all the loses Messi never encouraged them or calmed them down I dont blame him tho. 2018-2021 Barcelonas big issue is that they cant let go of some players . They don't know how to use a young player to or how to pick a transfer

[@Herb615]

One of the main reasons behind this might be due to the fact that the team is simply becoming a victim of their own success. Remember that their 2008-2012 era was outstanding and it is a period of domination which few clubs will ever achieve. Before this, they were in a minor slump for a while, resulting in a stronger emphasis on academy-based players since there wasn't too much to lose. In addition, most of the players who were responsible for that success were academy-based players. As Barcelona reached the top, they had more to lose resulting in prioritizing short-term success. Likewise, they focused on buying players over creating players due to the immediate success. However, as their academy suffered, many of these new transfers didn't cut it.

[@solelymusicable]

As a Barca fan, I can take solace in knowing that mid 2000's Barca was such an exciting team to watch. Then, as if that wasn't enough, Messi came of age and then late 2000's early 2010's squads truly blessed us with arguably THE BEST team football the game had to offer. Stalwart defenders in Puyol, Mascherano, Pique Yaya Toure were dependable and helped Valdes immensely. Dani Alves (and Jordi Alba on LB if subbed in) would be able to help carry a midfield possession by effectively becoming two more wingers alongside the core of Xavi, Iniesta, and Busquets. The tiki taka of the GOAT midfield championed by Xavi and Iniesta is our generations greatest example of team possession beyond a shadow of a doubt. Saying that Messi complemented this squad is completely an understatement. This isn't going to be a comment about Messi since everyone knows how dominant he is and was during those years. But his style of play continued to transcend the tiki taka and made the midfield even more lethal because he could either carry the ball from midfield onto the opposing keeper, or use his uncanny vision and positional IQ and perform ridiculous passes onto Pedro, Villa, Sanchez (or Henry in 09) who would then take care of business. All in all, what a treat for us to see PEAK Barca which I sincerely believe was one of the greatest teams of all time. Those days or gone, but we can at least be happy to have enjoyed a rarity in all sports: the greatest team of all time. Cheers

Another problem is the board, the owners who all want shooting for the terrible job they do. The manager needs to be in full control of recruitment. IMO Valverde and Seitan never stood a chance, they are just handed this aging squad and new signings that don't make any sense. Players wise they need wingers who will press, a hardworking unglamourous midfielder like Kante and new fullbacks for either side. They have to adapt tactically too, learn how to press and have more than 1 formation that they just dogmatically repeat over and over. They should have gone Pochettino over Koeman, but I'm enjoying Koemans approach. The players desperately need some abuse, I can imagine them being pampered and pandered too by the last 2 coaches, when they fuck up, they need to be told that they fucked up.
