First time in years with no trophies (assuming Liga is over too). Rosell and co really did a great job ruining the club.
Dear, it has nothing to do with Rosell.
A few good men showed the world how to kill tiki taki. Excellent defensive units have kicked barcelona prime 3 times out of the CL.
However, none of this is relevant, for its true unsung hero, Xavi, is in severe decay. For years, anti barcelonista have claimed that messi was fed by iniesta and xavi, but they were wrong.
Xavi fed the whole fucking team. He is fading out now. Doesnt dictate like before, doesnt make the play like before. Cant get around 3 layers of messi marking anymore, cant find iniesta anymore.
The situation will become worse and worse. Barcelona NEEDED xavi to make false9 messi work. Whats now happening, should force barcelona to play messi out of the center, as it got to easy to double holding midfielder+anticipating centreback him out of the game.
But messi will refuse to accept a coach moving him out of the center. Sooner or later, people will realise, that messi was an incredible talent for a very specific setup, but without that setup, its quite diffrent.
Xavi is the reason barcelona won 2CL's in 3 years, and why messui has 4 ballon d'ors.

I would trade bonucci for sachez or pedro and there is not a goddamn thing you can do about it, zach.
I will force my quadriceps into your anus and extract all that crap.
I will replace it with commen sense that Bonucci is a better defender then anything barcelona has by quite a mile, (fuck pique, and masc is a midfielder), when they come under pressure.
With that sense, you will realise that we must make this sacrifice to allow barcelona to decend back to the fucking bunch of chokers they used to be before Ronaldinho.
