La Liga giants Barcelona FC started the new season with a disappointing start to the new season following the departure of Leo Messi, who won only three of their first six games in La Liga, and their problems continued in the Champions League matches, the first round of the group stage, Barcelona was beaten 3-0 by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and in the second round of the group stage, they were beaten 3-0 by portuguese teams Lisbon and Benfica Sport, It was the second time in FC Barcelona's history that it had lost its first two matches.
Barcelona have lost two consecutive games in the Champions League group stage for the first time since 2000, and after a 1-1 home draw with Cadiz in the sixth round of La Liga, the Barcelona hierarchy held an emergency meeting earlier this month and they ultimately chose to stay in Koeman because of their limited potential replacements. But the defeat to Benfica was seen as the last straw on Barca's board, with many Barcelona fans and football commentators calling for the dismissal of Ronald Koeman, according to Catalan radio station RAC1, which is ready to make up its mind and sack Ronald Koeman.
RAC1 reported that FC Barcelona held a meeting after the team returned from Lisbon, which lasted until dawn. Chairman Laporta, vice chairman Eust, sporting director Mateu Alemani and adviser Enrique Masip were all in attendance, and Koeman was on the verge of being fired and could make a final decision in the coming hours. Belgium boss Roberto Martinez has also become a potential candidate, and Laporta also believes Andre Pirlo can coach.
The Catalan club has had a bad season, which includes serious financial problems, a serious financial crisis that has led to 18 seasons of playing for the team, Argentine superstar Leo Messi left La Liga to join Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, and Barcelona, lacking a first scorer, created shame in the Champions League. Paris Saint-Germain, who own Messi, have won 1 win and 1 draw in the 2 rounds of the Champions League, and not long ago, they defeated the Premier League powerhouse Manchester City, and Messi also scored his first goal to join Paris Saint-Germain.
