The 2018-2019 season was something strange. At a point, we were favorites to win absolutely everything possible, but the next thing you know, we have only managed to win 1 trophy. This is the beauty of football. You never know what the outcome can be. FC Barcelona will have to sit down & think about the changes that need to be done this summer! The loss against Liverpool completely destroyed the mentality of the team, resulting a loss in the Copa Del Rey Final vs Valencia. Serious changes NEED to be done as soon as possible!

1) Goodbye Ernesto Valverde?

2 Seasons, 2 Embarrassing Defeats. Many fans believe that it was the team's fault for the disappointing losses, but some blame it on the coach. Despite winning a double in the first season and a single in his second, is his time up? Is he the right manager? The board believes so. The fans? Not so much. He would be good for a side like Sevilla or maybe Valencia, but he's not fit to be the manager of such a prestigious club. Sacking and showing him the exit door is what is best for the club at the moment.

2) The endless saga of Rakitic.

Ever since joining the club in 2014, Ivan has made a name for himself and has showed that in his performances. Not every good player will keep his form until lifetime. It will start to decline at some point and that is the case for Rakitic this season. Despite being inconsistent with his performances, he's still a starter. He starts 90% of the game in a season without being given any rest. He's getting old now, and it's best if we sell him to a team like Inter Milan. Get the money and consume on someone whose even better!

3) Neymar Dos Santos Junior OR Antoine Griezmann?

These 2 superstars have gone towards the elite stage of club football and are filled with respect among their shoulders. Neymar's departure was unexpected and controversial. Barcelona struggled in the Champions League ever since. Do they really need him back? Let's not go into his attitude but when it comes to playing the game, he's one the best. If Messi was injured or just wasn't in the right form, HE STEPPED UP! What has happened, has happened. The fans need to forgive him and get him back. He's the only player which has the capacity to replace Messi and become the leader of the catalan side.

As for Antoine, he's also an excellent replacement. BUT for the ageing Luis Suarez. Griezmann NEEDS to come this summer. Luis Suarez is slowly declining and Griezmann is the perfect man to replace him!

What other changes do you think need to be done at the club? Let me know! It's really going to be one long summer with full of stress and anxiety. Hopefully the outcome is right and we hope to see some changes being implemented towards this Barcelona side!
