“Now comes a time for deep changes. Sunday will be a day of reflection and on Monday we'll meet and make decisions.”

Furthermore, Bartomeu added:

“I understand the disappointment of the socios […] We haven't achieved the objectives we set. But I'd also say that we have a very good team and in a season with many problems, we have kept fighting until the end.”

Meanwhile, many protagonists of the football community voiced their doubts about Barca and the team’s future. Gaizka Mendieta said recently:

“I think they should have been trying to sort this a few seasons ago with [new] full-backs and a goalkeeper, knowing that Victor Valdes was not keen to renew his contract.”

The former Valencia player added:

“It’s going to be hard to replace one of the best Spanish coaches we have had in Pep Guardiola but also a bunch of players like Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Valdes, Pique and Puyol.”
