The cup was all about how little some folk cared about it when others said it is important that Xavi tries to win it.

Then Barca look like winning it and same folk try to make out they care dearly and cup is so important to them.

Xavi was right to try and win cup as manuy of us backed him on.

From lets 'take the L' in cup to 'Xavi will show them with a double/treble'.

Couldnt make it up.

Copa on its own is not enough for a club like Barca to catalogue a season as a success. As part of a domestic double, it's a legit trophy. Madrid made a bus tour out of it, remember :lol:.

Again, a potential domestic treble is absolutely major. There can be no doubt. It's as if City win EPL, Copa, and Carabao in the same season. CL dissappointment is noted, but the season overall is a major success if it happens.

No one claimed 'Copa Is enough on its own' nice try though.

The argument was that cup is more important to try and win than many made out.. better than winninng nothing this season and a double always better than a league title on its own etc.

Not some trophy to 'take the L' in to try and have better chance of winning the league.

Xavi was right in way he has approached it and realised Barca should be trying to win it at same time as other trophies.

Good, my bad then. I agree, Copa is not that important, but once you reach semis, it becomes so for me. I remember fondly many copa games personally, and some of our best goals ever were scored in this competition, including two of Messi's top 5 goals ever scored.

League is #1 and risking the league for the Copa isn't worth the risk is really what was said.

But a domestic double is good & I'll always take it over winning the league + Europa league, that just feels wrong.

But we know how the 40 year old waste man is, will charge words to suit is narrative

Nope no one said play cup at risk of league an no one includinmg Xavi thought that Barca neeeded to 'take the L' to focus on league either.

Usual.

You wanted Barca to 'take L' to focus on league.. as said. Then whoop about a double you wanted off the shelf.

Good on Xavi for not thinking same way.,

Give Barca choice of cup or Europa league however and they choose Europa every time.

Whats the easy explanation? A couple bad calls against inter & injuries in the Backline?.

Or how about Lewandowski who has been piss poor in front of goal in most of the group matches and didn't convert chances.

Anyway, my point is enough ways to interpret why it happened. My man serghei too eager to call it a freak accident.

Nobody wants to win Europa league except cartoons in here.

Domestic double is better, although Copa del ray is useless, it is to keep Madrid trophy less

You're the only cartoon here dickwad.

Europa League is plenty important because we have been a complete fucking joke in Europe. Humiliated time and time again in CL followed up by further humiliation in Europa League TWICE! Idiot!

There are plenty who wanted Europa League glory here. At least its a step in the right direction. Your boy Xavi can only beat these shitty liga teams and that too only 1-0 lol.

Look at fucking Bayern who own us in Europe. They sacked a guy who won the league last season and is currently second in the league, in the cup and in the CL quarters. Bayern have standards, they are ruthless. Compare it to this clown club where Xavi can go out of the Europa league two seasons in a row and face no consequences whatsoever.
Hiring Tuchel may still backfire on Bayern but I doubt it. Tuchel will probably boss it with the squad Bayern have. In Barcaland IniestaGoatfuck and some others think winning la liga is the only thing that matters. If thats the case than we should only play in la liga but dont worry with Xavi at the helm Im sure we will get alot more early European exits. WHat pisses me off is the fact that we've missed out on a world class coach because that fat ass Laporta is still obsessed with Barca DNA.

Look at Bayern for how a top club is run. Ruthless, efficient. They knew a better manager was out there. They didnt feel Naglesmann was the right fit. So BOOOM! Sack him asap and bring in Tuchel. Meanwhile in Barcaland Xavi gets to fiddle and fuck around while we exit the EL twice in a row. Bayern didnt even concede a goal in 6 matches against Inter, PSG and us. They have standards. We dont. Simple.
