At Camp Nou, the iconic venue of FC Barcelona, a rare occurrence took place on Saturday evening following the Blaugrana’s defeat against Valencia in the league. Messi and his team were dealt a blow by Valencia, losing 2-3, sparking a tumultuous reaction from the fans in the stands.
Dani Alves, speaking after the match, didn’t hold back his criticism of the supporters. “They don’t give you any gifts. There should be a positive connection, but the roar in the stands is not helping us. Sometimes we have the impression of playing away,” lamented the Brazilian defender with bitterness.
However, Alves sought to reassure, stating, “We are not worried. When you’re used to winning and you lose, it feels like a funeral, but you shouldn’t doubt Barça.”
This defeat dealt a blow to Barça’s title aspirations, costing them precious points in the race. Real Madrid and, particularly, Atletico Madrid now have the opportunity to leapfrog them in the La Liga standings, potentially leaving the Catalans in third place.
