The 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich was the worst in the club's history, says Joan Josep Pallas. It affected the very basic image of a club that in recent decades has ridden on an almost unlikely wave of success.

Right now, patience is short. It's not just the loss that rubs. Barcelona no longer plays good football, according to critics.

- Since the 90s and Cruyff he audience enjoyed enjoying winning. Today you suffer both when you win and lose, Pallas explains.

Henrik Larsson is back in Barcelona - what do you think about it?

- I do not think that Larsson's return will lift the sad mood that rests over the club but he can arouse some smiles because he left good memories last time.

He does not have much experience as a coach - how do you think it will go for him?

- Ronald Koeman is the first coach and Alfred Schroder is the second coach. Larsson does not have a main assignment but can still contribute. I think the values ​​he has, professionalism, are what the club needs. He can spread seriousness, which the club currently lacks.

The new coaching team means new hope for a club that is in great need of radical change, according to Joan Josep Pallas. But they have to deliver fast results to stay, even though the contracts extend over two years. In March, the club elects a new president.

- In a club like Barcelona, ​​it is not enough to win, you have to play well too. If the new president is not convinced, they will not be allowed to remain. It can be said that the challenge is extra big this year.

- Either you recover quickly or you risk ending up in a long period of darkness. Just as Milan and Liverpool have experienced before, says Pallas.

There is a lot of talk about Messi's role - and the move rumors - what is the status there?

- Koeman wants Messi to stay but at the same time wants to invest in young players. This means that he has to sacrifice players who have played with Messi for many years, who are friends with him. For example, Suarez, Jordi Alba, Busquets and Rakitic. Koeman does not want them.

- He must convince Messi that he is building a new champion team, but Messi is not convinced that such a team exists.
