Barcelona is consumed between the new era and the old decadence

• Chronicle Barcelona falls even lower in Europe (3-0 in Munich)

• Consequences A two-decade regression

• Xavi's anger "Today a new stage begins"

Propaganda tends to make a fortune in football.

In a sport in which the interwar days have long been more important than the games themselves, it should not be surprising that the verbiage envelops everything.

The day before Barcelona lost 2-8 in Da Luz,

assured without hesitation that Bayern was going to play against the "best team in the world." This Wednesday, the same night that the Barça team settled its descent to the continental subsoil and closed its last trilogy of disasters against the Bavarians,

z announced the beginning of a "new era."

That new time will be started by Barça without resources to strengthen itself, apart from the European elite, occupying the seventh place in the League, without having yet been able to mend the dramatic management of

despite the fact that the alibi of Messi's salary no longer exists. , and with

more attentive to pitch in with the Super League than to rescue the team from nothing sports.

In this Barça illusion and adolescence mix with decadence.

It will be difficult not to continue seeing

, the most expensive signing in the history of Barça and also the one who charges the most.

Or

, high on the salary scale and unprecedented this season.

Both are willing to sink with the ship, even if they are locked in the cabin.

Piqué's role

It also remains to be seen whether the day will come when the advent of a new cycle will change the historic leaderships of the locker room.

, despite being the first footballer who showed his willingness to withdraw once he was not competitive, continues in his usual place.

Although he was not the main responsible for the last 3-0 against Bayern, his career against

, together with the breaks and remarks of the Pole before the opening goal, reaffirm that his role in the team should no longer be paramount.

On the shores, Barça bleeds to death due to the inability to hire guarantee sides.

On the right, where the great solution will be Dani Alves (38 years old) from January,

now more of a penalty as a winger than as a defender.

And on the left, the one who arrives shattered at twilight is

, exposed despite being injured.

And nothing can be expected from his replacement on the flank,

, far from the level required in a first-rate team.

Sergio Busquets will

continue to have a guaranteed place.

Xavi thinks that, well escorted, he is an essential footballer.

This is demonstrated by

with Spain.

Although it is in the first line of succession of the dressing room where Barcelona finds its biggest problems.

, who was expected in Munich as a great savior, barely breathed. Not even a renovation in which the variables would take a greater weight would have justification in a footballer incapable of marking differences in the capital moments. In any case, it may be he himself who decides to close his stage at the Camp Nou in search of another golden stretcher.

performance is also a concern

. Such is his lack of confidence that even his footwork does not serve as moral support before facing duels that he has become used to losing. With the Brazilian

on the bench, and with the young

as an unlikely reservist, the matter has no easy solution.

The case of

is also delicate.

He was called to be one of the referential midfielders on the continent.

Applied, physically gifted, and with quality both to govern and to strike in the rival area.

And Barça, far from helping him progress, has shown him the paths to decrepitude.

De Jong is the example of how a poor organizational structure can ruin a career.
