Barça has been eliminated for the second consecutive year from the knockout stage of the Champions League. There are several reasons for this new debacle, some being more striking than others

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has remained deleted again of the League of Champions in spite of having done an important investment to reinforce the staff. In spite of that they still remain a lot of competitions in which the culés can triumph, the true is that the team has gone back to show that it is not to the height of the maximum tournament of football of Europe, already was by bad decisions of the trainer or by fault of character on the lawn. Here some of the reasons by which the Barça has repeated the disaster of the past season.

Arbitration

The referees have been an important factor in the bad results that has accumulated the Barcelona this season. In the party of gone in front of the Bayern Munich the VAR did case omiso to a clear zancadilla of Alphonso Davies to Ousmane Dembélé that it could change the course of the meeting when it still was (0-0). Added to this, the same referee Pol go Boekel was in the gone in front of the Inter of Milan and cancelled a goal of Pedri and, besides, did not sentence an evident hand of Denzel Dumfries to five minutes of the end, what could mean the tie.

Little forcefulness

Although the referees have had an important role in the decadence of the club in Champions, also is true that to the team has been missing him forcefulness in front of the two more complicated clubs of the group. Overcoat in the gone in front of the Bavarians, with a first-half of clear command and in which they could sentence the party. However, in the 18 finish that had grieve 4 had direction to the arch, a statistics that stands out the little efficiency that have had. Neither speak of the party of turn, where did not upset neither once the goal of Sven Ulreich.

Fault of character

The little efficiency goes accompanied of the fault of character in the meetings. The culés have not known to react when they have seen below in the marker and this partly is fault of the trainer. In front of the Inter in the Spotify Camp Nou suffered a traced back (1-2) in the second half and, after equalising the actions, went back to receive a goal that left them 'KO' until the aggregated time. In front of the Bayern occurred the same history, receiving two goals in the first half hour of game in the turn and also in the gone, when in the complement suffered two so many in four minutes.

Bad decisions of Xavi

The technician egarense also has been protagonist with controversial decisions that have left to the exposed team in different opportunities. The good moment that crosses Frenkie of Jong turn him into an indisputable headline but did not go in in the second party in front of the Italians until the second part. Besides, the commitment with Sergio Busquets and Gerard Hammered also has affected the performance of the plantel, being the defender the most distinguished.

Defensive errors

Precisely they have been two punctual errors of the 'holy cows' what left in the limbo the classification of the Barça to the eighth of final. I hammered had an error in front of the Inter in which it enabled to two attackers transalpinos although the other defenders advanced lines to leave them in offside. Added to this, a bad pass in exit of 'Busi' meant the (1-2) of the Inter, what would finish sentencing the continuity of the club in Champions.

Injuries

For anybody is a secret that the stop FIFA desestabilizó the approach of Xavi with regard to the competition. The fall of Ronald Araújo, Jules Koundé, Frenkie of Jong, Memphis Depay, Héctor Bellerín and Andreas Christensen left adrift the defensive sector, what finished happening bill so much in League as in the international competition.

Group of the death

Finally, the group of the death. The blaugrana began the campaign with an entirely new team and that little by little went unifying of face to the different tournaments in dispute. Nevertheless, the draw matched them with Bayern and Inter, two teams that have several years confeccionandose and that nowadays are firm candidates to heave with the title. It is thus that also has been an important factor in the poor impression that have left the Catalans.
