Tuesday evening, the sky fell on Barça’s head. Victorious at the Parc des Princes (3-2), the Blaugranas were scuttled at home and were eliminated by PSG (4-1). A defeat which will leave its mark, especially since the locker room is cracked after the exit of Ilkay Gündogan on Ronald Araujo.

This, even though he had planned not to skip any sessions during the week to best prepare for Sunday’s Clasico against Real Madrid. But yesterday’s training convinced him. He found marked players and above all he found the atmosphere very tense, compared to the declarations of “Gundo”. Atmosphere.
