From the “sweet” defeat against Bayern (defeats to true winning teams should never taste like sugar) to the bitter fall in Milan. Barça loses worse and worse. And that in the Champions League is expensive. The Blaugrana team allowed themselves to be knocked down with hardly any resistance by an Inter that is not even a big deal, a worrying symptom that relativizes their supposed improvement, perhaps exaggerated because the desire for happiness is so high that it is sometimes confused with reality. It comes from very low.
Europe continues to deny any threat of celebration or concession to the culé state of mind. The mistreatment already reaches the arbitration field. It does not penalize knowing penalties against Barça, the team that was king and today is not. The club that defends the European Super League. Dismissed as if trampling on him had no consequences. Possibly because he doesn't have them.
First part shot. Barça played to surprise Inter with such a rowdy tactic that it ended up misleading itself more than its rival. Bad business. The disposition of the players in the first part did not give results. Gavi and Raphinha, too advanced and focused, were untraceable, and it seemed that Pedri, close to Busquets to touch the ball, and Dembélé played the first 45 minutes by themselves. The origin of the plays (Pedri) flowed with the velvety delicacy with which the canaries speak; the end of them (Dembélé) was unclassifiable. Dembélé will have to be endured as he is or turn off the television and cancel the subscription of all platforms to avoid temptations. There is a writer named Santiago Lorenzo who I recommend defines clueless urbanites with phrases like the following: “They left the lights on everywhere. They turned on the light even to look for the light switch.” Server when he reads them he remembers Dembélé.
The Frenchman, yes, is saved by his persistence, impervious to the mistakes he makes over and over again in crooked games like the one in Milan. Other footballers will escape criticism with better luck because they didn't even ask for the ball. Go unnoticed and they won't talk about you. Well, sure not. But not bad either. The comfort of the anodyne. The board failed but the individual rebellion that is presupposed to Barça footballers did not appear. And the Champions League matches have been centuries since Barça won them with the shirt. Even the referees have noticed.
Inter, which is bad, celebrated the confusion that was found in front. And he did what the Italians have done since they exist: defend, wait and get the hell out. It is a cultural issue. A formula as basic as it is accepted. With very little they beat Barça last night. That's the problem.
