How sad must be to support such a team. Klopp will go, and they will be back to midtable soon after. From what i see, they are getting used to it already...

Angry at Laporta and Allemany for pushing him out and not letting him milk the 'club of his heart' another 30m after years of milking
Angry at Xavi for ending his privileged position on the pitch and in the XI, something handicapping the team for a few years to say the least
Yup, some people are so entitled to think the world belongs to them and should be molded to their liking
Also IMO he is not a legend, and shouldn't never be put on the same line with Cyruff, Pep, Puyol Xavi and Iniesta
Don't care how good he was on the pitch in his prime,
to be a legend you need to honor the values of the club and never put your tiny little self above the club (let alone trying to take advantage of it)

Even in terms of ability, he was never ever on the level of those legends.

Are you sure those folks didn't do the same?
Because Pep declined many times to come back, including under Laporta, and even stalled contract renewal during his stint here in order to get what he wants. He prefers oil money and resources for himself and his brother on the club.
Puyol overstayed his welcome by 2 years, and retired when it was painful for him to even do daily activities like stairs and walking. He was basically forced in retirement by his doctors. Never mind several instances as agent in preferring to make his clients leave Barca
Xavi was on steep decline after 2011 season, remained starter for next 3 years, clashed with the coach, was happy with renewals, and only left after the club basically gave up on him and essentially wanted him to just walk by himself.
Iniesta accepted a "life time" contract by the club, and only left after he found himself on the bench.
The main difference between those folks and current ones is that they had several world class players to rely on and a stable club to make the scenes of them leaving look more glories.
Pique is a bit of a clown, but he gave up on money several times and was loyal to the club, and just before his predecessors he left only when the club basically forced him out. Only this time the club didn't have the stability to do it nicely.
Well Pique has never been self-accountable. The only thing he should be angry with are his hips giving out. The hips don't lie.

Good post. People rave about likes of Puyol, Xavi and Iniesta because we had it good back then and world class players to cover those positions.
Now that we have dross across the board the likes of Alba, Pique or Busquets are made to look like villains.

Don't know if it's just media spinning up stories, and we all know how they can be

Pique got red card? After the half time?

Yeah, probably told Manzano how much he hates him.
TBH I'd probably do the same in his place.
Could have slaped him on the pitch. One for education...
