Barcelona's humiliating defeat at home 0-3 against Bayern Munich, yesterday, Tuesday in the Champions League, caused an earthquake in the Catalan club, whose president tried to calm public opinion with a message to the angry fans, and its effects were compounded by the heavy defeat, the injuries that hit the team.

Barcelona President Juan Laporta called on the club's fans to be patient, and said in a video via his Twitter account, "I am equally frustrated and upset as you.

Laporta was elected president of the Catalan club for the second time in March by a huge majority after the resignation of Josep Maria Bartomeu last year to avoid a vote of no confidence.

But Laporta faced a difficult start to his term, as Barcelona finished last season in third place in the Spanish League, and the historic top scorer Lionel Messi left for Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer, although the Barcelona president repeatedly pledged on several occasions to keep the Argentine star.

Yesterday's defeat by Bayern constituted a new blow to Barcelona, ​​although coach Ronald Koeman and defender Gerard Pique did not appear surprised after the defeat.

Laporta has repeatedly referred to Barcelona's financial crisis, revealing last month that the club's debts amount to 1.35 billion euros.

But he vowed that the club would rise again soon.

"I ask you to trust us, the people who run the club, we need your trust and patience and not to doubt that we will overcome this situation," Laporta added.

Injuries hit Barcelona

Barcelona's crisis doubled after its defeat against Bayern Munich as a result of the injuries that hit the team's columns, as veteran left back Jordi Alba and young midfielder Pedri were injured during the loss against Bayern, bringing the number of injured to 6 stars from the team's core.

Alba was knocked out in the 74th minute of the match due to a hamstring injury, while Pedri participated in the entire match, after returning to the stadiums after receiving a 3-week break.

Barcelona announced on its official website today, Wednesday, that Pedri has a thigh problem, and joined Alba in the treatment room before facing Granada in the Spanish League next Monday.

Barcelona did not reveal the date of the return of these two players to the stadiums.

Pedri and Alba's injury came before a crowded period of matches for Barcelona, ​​who is preparing to play 5 matches within two weeks, including a big confrontation against Atletico Madrid, the Spanish league title holder, early next month.

Danish striker Martin Braithwaite is expected to miss the rest of Barcelona's matches in 2021, after undergoing knee surgery, while his fellow strikers Sergio Aguero, Osman Dembele and Ansu Fati are out of action due to injuries as well.
