Calendar of FC Barcelona

Two years ago, the FC Barcelona was deleted of form totally unexpected in the quarter-finals of the Champions League 2017-18, in front of the Rome in the Olympic. The 'giallorossi' were able to trace back the 4-1 of the Camp Nou with a 3-0 in his field, in spite of having a team of a very inferior quality to the one of the group culé. This yes, with more energy in that phase of the season.

It was the night in that Andrés Iniesta spilt tears ahead of time. The one of Fuentealbilla had the big illusion to leave of the Barça in style, with which would have been the third triplete of his career futbolística. It could not be, since the Barça fell against all prognosis in chambers of League of Champions and, from here, centred in tieing up well the titles of LaLiga and of the Glass of Rey.

It is not at all badly sack with a doublet, and besides taking into account that the FC Barcelona of the first year of Valverde 'strolled' in LaLiga and also in Glass of Rey, vapuleando in the final to the Seville with manita included and goal of the same Iniesta.

It was as it was, this Friday fulfilled two years of the incredulity of all the barcelonistas when the referee of the Rome-Barça, Clément Turpin, signalled the end of the statutory time and the consumación of the Barcelona elimination. Andrés Iniesta, relieved of the field instants before Manolas gave the estocada final to the exit of a corner, cried of anger and impotence in the bench culé.

The last European party of Andrés Iniesta

And it is that to the midfield player manchego hurt him the fact that that was his last party of Champions League, a capital disappointment instead of a 'orejona' celebrated in style. The true is that the FC Barcelona had done it all well until this party, but the tiredness and the fatigue began to do mella in a staff with a lot of wear.

The big command of the Barcelona in League and Glass, joined to the advantage with which had arrived after the 4-1 of the gone, did that the culés trusted and left the 'tempo' of game to the Rome, that printed more intensity and approached dangerously during all the party. The Barça took in replacing of this thump in Rome and gave a new opportunity to Valverde, that was desaprovechada does hardly a year with a still greater embarrassment: the 4-0 against the Liverpool in semifinals.

The Barça still can look for 'vendetta' this season

If it restarts the competition in Europe, is possible that the FC Barcelona remove the spine nailed this same campaign. It will touch to give the puntilla to the Naples in eighth of final, after the 1-1 of the gone in Saint Paolo, and from here go advancing in the tournament until arriving to a hypothetical final. With players like Leo Messi, Ter Stegen, Hammered, Griezmann, Luis Suárez and company, everything is possible.
