FC Barcelona played its famous presentation match today at the stadium with the Joan Gamper trophy, to which Monaco was invited this year. During the pre-season, it seemed that Barcelona was going to give a much better face than it offered, and the fact is that the team from the Catalan city lost 0-3 at home, in what should have been a local party. Despite everything, the good news was the return of Lamine Yamal and the debut of Dani Olmo, so both have already had minutes ahead of the first league match against Valencia.
The first goal came in the 50th minute, with an unfortunate move in a mistake when taking the ball out, which cost you the most, losing the ball in front of your area with your back turned, which has generated a lot of criticism in the team. The second goal was a through ball after some great dribbling that also showed the fragility of the Barça defence. And the third goal, shortly before the end of the match, once again brought out the colours of a defence that was completely out of the game, which allowed a rebound inside the area and several touches by the Monaco players, who come out of this victory much stronger for the season.
So, let’s take a look at the most shocking reactions from fans and followers on social media:
It took 12 YEARS!! for FC Barcelona to lose the match for the Joan Gamper Trophy again. And it took 30 YEARS!! for them to be thrashed again in this presentation event that they themselves organize. A HIT AT HOME. pic.twitter.com/ydVIMT5XP9

Conclusion of this piece of garbage of a game:
Football is made of moments, if you score Pau Victor’s goal the match is different.
If you don’t make absurd mistakes, the game is different.
If you are called offside, the game is different.
The team is under construction and up to the 25th minute I liked it

Barça has been thrown into disarray after the 0-1 error. They have lost concentration and tension in the disputes and have started to let Minamino play comfortably. Bad business, of course.

We are playing badly in an irrelevant match and TW Barça wants to sell the entire team, spend 300 million in the market, we are anti-competitive, Flick is no longer useful and it is going to be a shitty year.
The season has officially started 😍

Despite Barça’s defeat, Pau Víctor has been named MVP of this Joan Gamper Trophy. Overall, I liked the dynamism he had in the offensive zone, although it is true that today he did not have that dose of effectiveness. Even so, he seemed more in line with what we need in the game. pic.twitter.com/idOi2SrgPh

😱😱 WHAT A START! Barça’s presentation to their fans was a flop. Five days before their debut, Flick’s men are sowing doubts 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/D5Zt5DgWPQ

Flick has ideals that I don’t know to what extent they will be compatible with Lewandowski and Gündogan on the pitch.
A very similar feeling to that of Luis Suárez-Messi with Valverde, in which Ernesto had to modulate his football a lot.

People are very dramatic. The Gamper has never been a trophy that indicates how the season is going to go.
At Mestalla you show up with Olmo and Lamine at the start and I’m sure the game will have nothing to do with this one.
Full confidence in the team. This is a friendly.— Arthur. (@e_arthFCB17) August 12, 2024
