The match at Ipurua on Sunday evening went exactly as most would’ve expected.
No Messi and no Pedri meant no inventiveness and no cutting edge, but in truth, no one really cared about a last game of the season that meant precisely nothing to either side.
Barcelona certainly could’ve done without seeing Ilaix Moriba limp off, injury ending his season prematurely, though at least he’s assured of being back in the line-up for the start of next season.
The same can’t be said for a number of other first-team stars, some of whom did themselves no favours whatsoever at Eibar.
