FC Barcelona is probably in the worst crisis in club history. Messi is not sporting either, and financially even bankruptcy is imminent.
Anyone who hoped that after a turbulent summer in Catalonia – which ended with the whereabouts of superstar Lionel Messi – everything would be the same again, will be mistaken after the past few weeks. On the contrary: the situation represents a real nightmare for all those who hold onto
FC Barcelona. Barca currently emits almost nothing of what has made her one of the proudest and most successful clubs in the world in recent decades. If you
take a look at the table of La Liga, you first have to lower your gaze to find the blue
grana. Horror figures for Koeman and Barca After six games, the club ranks 12th with only eight points.
Barca had collected so few points at the time of the season for the last time in the 2002/03 season under Dutch coach Louis van Gaal. At the end of the season, the club ended up in a disastrous sixth place.
The change of coach to van Gaal’s compatriot Ronald Koeman – after the disastrous conclusion of the last season – seems almost ineffective. 41 out of 49 coaches who coached Barcelona in the club’s history had a better return after six league games.
The next horror statistic for the Catalans: In the history of the league, no team has ever become champions who had eight points or less in their accounts after six games.
