As 2021 draws to a close, the Daily Sport has conducted a poll of barcelona's fans for the year, including the best moment of the year, the best player, the worst player, the fastest improved player, the most disappointing matches and so on. Although Messi has left the team, he has been on the list many times.
In the fans' vote, Messi won the "2021 Best Player", beating Pedri, Garvey and others to get 35% of the vote. At the same time, Messi's departure is also Barca's worst moment in 2021, with a 54% vote, far higher than the Champions League group stage elimination and Koeman's dismissal.
Although Messi is no longer a Barca player, he still has a lot of influence on this Barca team. Messi played for Barca in the first half of the year, and he is still the player of the year. Messi's departure from the team really overshadowed Barca fans, and was elected barca's worst moment of 2021.
In the case of the sluggish performance of the men's football team, the Barça women's football team won last season's league and women's Champions League with a 44% vote rate, pushing Laporta to be elected president of the club, Xavi returned and so on. Barça women's football team is indeed the biggest winner in 2021, and also won various FIFA awards at the end of the year.
The most disappointing player of 2021 is Coutinho, the Brazilian superstar with 55% of the vote, beating the likes of Umtiti and Dembele. Coutinho has not found his peak form since coming to Barca, which is a huge gap from when he played for Liverpool.
Among the other voting results, the player who improved the most belonged to Garvey, who won 64% of the vote, the most disappointing game was the 3-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League group this season, the most interesting thing next year belonged to Xavi's return to Barca, and the most promising achievement for the team next year was to qualify for next season's Champions League, and the expectations have become very low.
It can be seen that Barca's performance in 2021 is sluggish, the expectations of fans have become very low, the eyes of Basa are seventh in La Liga, and it seems that their competitiveness in the league has dropped significantly, so the expectations of fans have become eligible for next season's Champions League.
