Griezmann and Memphis Depay keep Barça away from the Club World Cup and threaten them for Sunday

Problems for the FC Barcelona with the Athletic of Madrid. The team colchonero advanced this Tuesday to the quarter-finals to the Champions League, but besides did it winning his party in the 90 minutes, to add two points more in the coefficient UEFA, but besides finish carrying the eliminatory in front of the Inter of Milan -in penaltis- thanks to two goleadores that knew to dress the Barcelona T-shirt.

And in another moment and context of the season perhaps would not weigh so much the past culé of Antoine Griezmann and of Memphis Depay, but the reality is that the two forwards have meant that the Barça is almost forced to win the Champions to be in the World-wide of Clubs, except a crossing between both teams in the quarter-finals. To this adds him that the next duel of League for the ones of Xavi will be visiting to the Atleti of Simeone next Sunday in the Metropolitan.

The Barça can finish suffering to two goleadores that were his

With both situations already the thing seems to take a distinct tonality and there is where goes in this affirmation that there are problems for the Barcelona team. And everything besides 'thank you' to the own Catalan entity and his difficulty to be able to sell to the two forwards, although first to find them a place in the XI in which really could be taken advantage of, each one in his moment.

This last point did that the Barça lost almost 100 million euros in the operation of Griezmann. A signing that seemed never have had sense and that less had it when the French returned to a direct rival in LaLiga by little more than 20 'kilos'. Besides, the Frenchman was precisely the one who convinced to Memphis Depay that the Athletic was the destination of the two.

Another 'gift' for the Athletic of Madrid

The ex Real Sociedad knew that the out his mate in the Barça in the season 2021-22 could be an interesting piece for the attack colchonero and was speaking him by weeks to finals of 2022 to try carry him to the Metropolitan. Finally, Griezmann fulfilled his wish in the winter of 2023, moment in which Depay signed by the Athletic, leaving less than 5 million euros to the arks culés.

Although that operation, unlike the another, did not generate economic losses to the club, now yes that the culés fear that they can sack of definite way of LaLiga the next Sundays if his two exdelanteros have a so interesting party like the one of this Wednesday. In front of the Inter, only three minutes after the 0-1, arrived the 1-1 that put the eliminatory again open, and thanks to Griezmann. Afterwards, Simeone changed to Morata by Depay in the minute 79 and on the 87', the Dutch received an inner balloon of Koke and converted the 2-1.
