LaLiga paid Barça to the night schedule: The 'culés', the kings of the night

"I do not understand that all the parties out of house have played them to the 21.00 hours. I do not understand it. It is not a help to a big team that has to struggle and play each three days. I understand that an Athletic- Barça can be to the 21.00 hours, but no all the parties. It is necessary to think more in this sense because we go bad". These words of Ronald Koeman in November of 2020 have now more felt that never.

The trainer barcelonista complained then that the FC Barcelona​ played almost always to the 21:00 hours. Unfortunately for him, they have happened two months and half since and the culés keep on being the masters and gentlemen of this nocturnal schedule. Anybody in LaLiga has played more times that the Barça to this hour, not even a Real Madrid that this Saturday, for example, played to the 16:15 hours.

In total, between League, Champions League, Glass of Rey and Supercopa of Spain, the Barcelona have contested 24 of his 31 parties to the 21 hours. It is an authentic salvajada, since in percentage would be near of 80% (77,4%). This does that the Catalans have less time of rest, since the homeward trips are always nocturnal, with all what this involves for the players.

In League, the ones of Koeman have played 13 crashes of the 20 that contested in total from this hour. It is necessary to do this nuance, since two of these duels even went later. The Celtic of Vigo-Barcelona of 1 October was to the 21:30 hours, whereas the commitment against the Valladolid of 22 December was to the 22:00 hours. Of the others seven meetings, five were to the 16:15, one to the 14:00 and another to the 18:30 hours.

In Europe, the Barça has played all his crashes to the 21:00 hours, although the UEFA establishes another schedule to the 19:00 hours. Therefore, they are six crashes more than adding to the collection, the same that occurs with the Glass and the Supercopa, tournaments in which the barcelonistas also played only at night. Besides, in the two of Supercopa and in two of Glass, against Granada and Cornellà, the Catalans had to contest extention, by what finish even more late.

Four more programmed parties to the 21:00

But here it does not finish everything, since the next four commitments of the Barcelona already are programmed for this schedule. This Sunday touches the visit to the Betis to the 21:00, the Wednesday to this same hour will be the gone of the semifinals of Glass against the Seville in the Pizjuán, the 13 another crash of League in the Camp Nou to the 21 and the 16 to this same schedule, also in the City Condal, the gone of the eighth of Champions against the PSG. In this moment, will be 28 of 35 crashes from the 21, something that will increase the get angry of the culés.
