If some Barcelona fans were still hoping for a miracle and a possible participation in the title race, it all ended this weekend. While Real Madrid rolled over their runner-up Girona, consolidating their first place, FC Barcelona could not do better than a 3-3 at home against Granada, nineteenth in La Liga. From now on, 10 points separate the Merengues from the Blaugranas. Too big a gap, especially given the dynamism of the two teams. If everything seems to be going well in Madrid, there is tension in Barcelona…

The images of Movistar, broadcaster of La Liga in Spain, filmed a very angry Xavi in ​​his technical area. The former midfielder did not hesitate to use a series of curses and angry gestures as soon as something was wrong, even going so far as to punch one of the seats. A certain tension which could seem anecdotal, but which is indeed symptomatic of the unease which reigns internally.

I don’t know, I can’t say anything more”replied the man who will leave his position at the end of the season.

For her part, Joan Laporta also showed obvious signs of annoyance. During the meeting, and especially afterward, he was very angry. He even sent buffet tables flying into the presidential stand as he was so mad with rage after this equalizer against Granada. Sport even reveals that he recently tried to bring back Mateu Alemany, the club’s former director of football, to put things in order. Clearly, Barça is a pressure cooker ready to explode at any moment…
