In January Barcelona had already talked to Pochettino, as well as Ronald Koeman and Thierry Henry, but eventually decided to appoint Kika Stein in place of the sacked Arenso Valvareda. By this point the management had already been rejected by former player Xavi, who decided to extend his contract with his Qatari team al-Saad, and in fact linked his future to Victor Pont, Bartomeu's opponent in the race for the team presidency. Bartomeu is under great pressure to resign, with the possibility of bringing forward the presidential election on the table. Last week Bartomeu insisted that Stein stay for the next season, but after the defeat made it clear that some of the decisions had been made before the humiliation, hinting that they might change.

Meanwhile, the echoes of the defeat continue, and Barcelona goalkeeper Marc Andre Ter Stegen tweeted about the game: "Very difficult times. Collars, I'm very sorry about what happened, I'm disappointed. I do not want to look for excuses, because there is no. We definitely need a change." Luther Mathieus, a former German player, said of Barcelona: "It hurt me to see it like this, the team that has excited us all for many years, that looks like this ... I thought Bayern were a favorite but not so much, a six-goal gap well reflects the gap between "The teams are on the pitch. It is not enough now for Barcelona to change coach, they need new players and I do not think they are in a position where they can invest a lot of money as they did in the past."

Fabio Capello illustrated the lack of organization in Barcelona when he revealed his talks with his friend Arido Braida, a former Barcelona technical adviser for four seasons (2015 to 2019). According to Capello, "Braida told me that in Barcelona there is no clear idea or way when they decide which player to sign or attach. He worked there for a long time, and feared that something bad was going to happen."
