This has not been a good week for Barcelona. The all-time Copa del Rey champions were eliminated from the competition against Athletic Bilbao with a 93rd-minute winner at the death, a truly heartbreaking way to say goodbye to a tournament Barça has won 30 times, four in the last six years. New manager Quique Setién says his team is improving with every game, but fans are not very confident in his coaching abilities and things need to get better much faster with the Champions League knockouts approaching.
Barça’s next challenge is Real Betis, Setién’s former club that still loves him and will no doubt give him a great reception on Sunday. Barça has always struggled away to Betis and winning it is never easy. The Betis players will surely have an extra pep in their step going up against their former boss. Barça is wounded, injured and Lionel Messi has not been at his best, but this team needs to find answers soon.
