Barça beat Madrid, a victory that sends them four points clear at the top of La Liga. Just a month ago they were four points behind. This perspective, more than the significance of where the final of the Copa del Rey will be held (it will be wherever it will be) and their rivals in the quarter-finals of the Champions League (PSG, without Verratti and Ibrahimovic in the first leg) is more reasonable than that of Madrid (who face Atlético) in finding a happy moment. But it is not. Barça’s current president, and the one before, are facing the threat of imprisonment for a trick of artificial engineering in the signing of Neymar, one that has broken down over time.
Bad business. With what we know, it is translated here as the sum of two undesirable factors. One, the eternal paranoia of Barça against Madrid, which resulted in a day of weak explanations from the club, whereby they tried to justify the network of ‘financial engineering’ as a form. It’s understood that the purpose of all this was to prevent Madrid winning the race for Neymar as they did with Di Stéfano. The other factor is that we have lived in insane times that pass all forms of counting money from the Lehman Brothers to Bankia and others.
This latest one has been exhaustive and has caught Barça off guard, like so many others, and I don’t think that there is another way to look at it. Yes, for sure, the things of Barça are delicate and this matter lends itself to the distrust of Catalonia to the branches of the government. The ugly sight of the executive box of Madrid as an obscene concentration of power does not help in this regard. But it cannot be an excuse. Barça created a house of cards with the signing of Neymar after it appeared that they paid less than they did. There has been a blow and it has fallen. That’s all.
