In spite of adding the title of Glass, the performance of the Barça of Koeman in LaLiga and the Champions has left serious doubts on his continuity in the Barcelona bench

Although the FC Barcelona has seen a bit better that the past season thanks to the structural changes promoted by Ronald Koeman, the Dutch technician load with some stains in his first season to the control of the club, specifically in the most important meetings.

His elder baza to continue to the control of the bench would be the traced back in the Glass of the King in the semifinals in front of the Seville that allowed to the Barcelona finish with the drought of titles that presented from the past season. However, this could not be sufficient for the fans.

One of his greater tropiezos was the fall in the final of the Supercopa of Spain, a tournament in which the Barça could not obtain a victory, since in the first phase advanced by penaltis in front of the Real Sociedad with a big performance of Ter Stegen before the defeat in front of the lions in the decisive party.

Champions And League, the debts of Koeman

Regarding the Champions, the blaugranas signed a regrettable performance, that supposed his first elimination in the eighth of final of the tournament from 14 years ago, when a Liverpool for then directed by Rafa Benítez and capitaneado by Steven Gerrard prevented to the ones of Rijkaard follow defending the title reached in Paris.

The Barça fell by 1-4 in the Camp Nou after a brilliant performance of Kylian Mbappé by a PSG that did not miss to Neymar, the one who had lesionado in a previous commitment to the eliminatory in front of his ancient team. The Catalans showed a better image in the turn, but the tie would not be sufficient. It does not be necessary to forget that, already in the phase of groups, the Juventus goleó to the Barça in the Camp Nou (0-3) and snatched him the first place of the group in the last day of the liguilla, something also unforgivable.

In LaLiga all seemed very directed, since the invicto in the tournament had extended from the start of the year. However, it would not take in arriving the first trip with a tie in front of the Cádiz and the back defeats against the Real Madrid in the Classical, jointing the one of the first and the second turn. To this adds the inexplicable defeat in front of the Granada and the tie without goals in front of the Athletic , that had to the Barça of Koeman depending on other results. The tie of this Tuesday in the Ciutat of València has been the drop that satisfies the glass... And Koeman hangs of a thread.
