FC Barcelona’s 4-0 victory yesterday against Barbastro, in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey, does not seem to interest anyone in Spain. Anecdotally, this qualification for the round of 16 of the competition has completely fallen by the wayside since the news of the Catalan club is marked by the Dani Olmo affair. The Iberian international is still not registered by La Liga, and everything indicates that he will not be.
Again on Saturday, La Liga and the Federation published press releases to confirm that the registration of the former RB Leizpig as well as that of Pau Victor had not been made within the established time, and that the two players would not be able to play with Barça during this second part of the season. From now on, Barça will appeal to the CSD, the Higher Committee for Sport dependent on the government, then to the courts if necessary. While waiting for a possible positive outcome, Hansi Flick will have to do without both men.
Olmo has it very bad
A complicated situation for the German coach, but above all and above all for the two concerned, who could not even play the Copa del Rey or the Champions League, nor even play matches for the Spanish selection in the case of Olmo. As indicated in the Cadena SERthe two players recruited last summer are mad with rage. Joan Laporta spoke directly with them on Saturday morning, before the Copa meeting, to try to calm them down and reassure them a little.
Without success, since the two men are very pessimistic about the future of events. They are increasingly aware that it is more than likely that they will not be able to play again until the start of next season. In case they decide to stay in Barcelona, at least. Indeed, Dani Olmo can, for example, leave freely now and has no shortage of suitors, and even if his agent has reaffirmed his client’s love for the Blaugrana colors, the player’s irritation and the catastrophic situation in which he finds himself could change the situation…
