Difficult weekend for FC Barcelona. Everything started well… On Saturday afternoon, the Barcelona side started their Clasico particularly well against Real Madrid, with a goal from Ilkay Gündogan and a first period during which they dominated well. Xavi Hernandez’s troops could even have returned to the locker room with a big advantage in the score, but they were unable to make their hot situations materialize. And when they returned from the break, they collapsed, and Real Madrid, without being brilliant, took full advantage, carried by a great Jude Bellingham.
The first defeat of the season for the Blaugrana. İlkay Gündoğan even railed against his teammates. “I come back from the locker room, and obviously people are disappointed. But after such an important match and a negative result, I would like to see more anger and disappointment. That’s part of the problem. There must be more emotion when you lose and you know you can play better and do things better in certain situations, but you don’t react. And that can be seen on the ground. We must make enormous progress on this side because otherwise, Real Madrid and even Girona will escape. I didn’t come here to lose these types of matches like that or to allow gaps like that to be visible.”, launched the German. And as indicated Relevoa first strong decision was taken after this defeat.
Oriol Romeu, victim?
Barcelona decision-makers have therefore decided to recruit a midfielder, urgently, according to the media. The club’s management and staff have noticed shortcomings in this sector and want to offer a new defensive midfielder to Xavi, since Oriol Romeu is not satisfactory. The former Girona player was again in difficulty against the Merengues and the Catalans therefore want to compensate for this weakness in the midfield with the signing of a player with a defensive profile who can provide muscle and versatility.
However, the difficult financial situation of the Barcelona club will limit its room for maneuver. But the managers know that many players would be ready to make financial efforts to facilitate an arrival in Catalonia. Especially since the club must also register Vitor Roque, the Brazilian striker who will arrive in January. Joan Laporta and Deco will have to take out the calculator.
