FC Barcelona: eliminated by Bilbao, the Blaugrana say goodbye to their chances of trophy this season

ANALYSIS

FC Barcelona was not unworthy tonight on the lawn of San Mames but it was Athletic Bilbao (2-3 ap) who qualified for the quarter-finals of the King’s Cup.

Zapping Goal! Football Club FC Barcelona: the biggest disappointments of the decade in the Champions League

As often at San Mames, it was above all a question of intensity and engagement tonight between Athletic Bilbao and FC Barcelona. Courage, too, and neither team lacked it for 120 minutes, played in pouring rain. Especially not the Catalans, who came back twice, the second time in extra time stoppage time. But now, the Lions ended up crunching them thanks to a penalty converted by Muniain in the 105th, following a handball from Jordi Alba in his area.

Before that, Barça de Xavi did not has not been undeserved, far from it. Led from the start following a magnificent curling shot from Muniain (2nd) in the left corner of ter Stegen, the FCB responded to the 20th in the same way by Ferran Torres. The winter signing put in a much better performance than he faced Real Madrid a week earlier in his debut game. But on arrival, he bowed on the same score and suffered another elimination… Good in the game, Barça is too feverish defensively, which allowed Martinez to score the goal of 2- 1 at the 86th. We thought the Blaugrana K.-O., we were wrong. Six minutes later, Dani Alves delivered a decisive pass with a returned scissor (!) for the volley from Pedri (93rd).

In extra time, Barça ended up cracking and therefore saw his last hope of winning a trophy this season fly away. And as if that were not enough, as if the Dembélé soap opera was not hard enough to live with, Pedri and Ansu Fati came out injured. In the end, the progress in the game since Xavi arrived is real but it is still struggling to translate into results. And this 2021-22 season can therefore already fall into the category of major disappointments.
