The saying "trouble comes in bundles" as if written about Barcelona's situation in recent days. What began this weekend on a flight to Saudi Arabia in an attempt to win the Spanish box office became a painful 3: 2 loss to Atletico Madrid and a semifinal elimination, continued a failed attempt to get rid of Ernesto and Alvarez and appoint Chavi as coach, and ended - at the moment - with the announcement that Luis Suarez We'll see the season. Instead of a bachelor's degree for the season, Barca received a blow-on-blow hit.

Let's start from the end. "Luis Suares will be missing in about four months," the official statement released last night in Barcelona said, and it was hard to think of a bleak ending to the dismal weekend of the Catalans. The Uruguayan striker, who scored 14 goals in 23 games throughout the season, was analyzed on Saturday in Miniscus in his right knee - an injury he has suffered for two years and subsequently missed the Spanish Cup final last season - and if no medical miracle occurs he will end the season.

Without Soars, the third conqueror of the Spanish league this season, Barca remains with Leo Messi who has scored 13 league goals and Antoine Grisman who added 7, but no real replacement. Enso Patti is very talented and has already conquered the league and the Champions League but is too young, Osman Dembla is too injured and Carles Peres doesn't seem to be able to get into those shoes. As it seems the Spanish champion has no choice but to bring in a new striker in the January transfer window, but for that she needs a functioning management and coach to choose him.

And that's another problem. The loss to Atletico convinced the team leaders that it was time to say goodbye to coach Ernesto Valverde - despite her public support from the team players - but this simple task became a saga as well. Barca wanted Chavi, the great player of the past who coaches Qatar al Qaeda today.

Team representatives Eric Abidel and Oscar Grau met with him, but Chavey said "not now." The 39-year-old's connection expressed a desire to finish the project in Qatar first, and only in the summer, if and when, to reunite with Barcelona. All of these reports, and there were plenty of them, did not go unnoticed and in Valverde's eyes, which, according to other reports, is hurt by Barca's attitude toward him.

The 55-year-old coach, who led Barcelona to two consecutive championships, is scheduled to report for the team training this morning, but he also seems to know his fate has been decided. The last few minutes against Atletico Madrid, joined by the disappointing draw against Espanyol and those against Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, have led the team leaders to understand - probably a little too late - that Valverde is not the right man. The public appeal to Chevy made it even clearer, leaving the situation at the point of no return.

Garcia Pimnita will be appointed?

According to reports, the table leader (in conjunction with Real Madrid) is determined to fire Valverde despite Chavi's refusal, in which case to appoint reserve coach Garcia Piemonte until the end of the season. Other names that came up in such and other media outlets are Kika Stein Gabi Milito, and even Ronald Coman who reportedly accepted an offer and also refused. Therefore, it seems that Piemonte is the chosen one.

These are the black days Barca is going through, days when she lost a title, her striker, probably her coach, and quite a bit of her honor with unprofessional and unethical conduct.
