Eibar debacle sees 2020 topped and tailed for Barcelona

This year has ended for Barcelona as it had begun - with everyone scratching their heads.

Ernesto Valverde being sacked with the team at the top of the table at the start of 2020 set the tone for our annus horribilis, and Eibar earning a point at the Camp Nou, only their second-ever point against us and first in Barcelona, neatly book-ended it.

What happened in between over the past 12 months is worthy of a movie all of its own.

In any event, the game itself against the Basques was flat and boring, something we’ve come to expect from a Ronald Koeman side.
