The 4–1 humiliation at Sevilla has exposed the harsh truth — Barcelona is in crisis. The team looks lost, the ideas stale, and unless drastic changes come soon, even time — their only ally left — will turn against them.
It’s all too easy to pin the blame on Lewandowski for the missed penalty, or on the forwards who squandered golden chances to equalize. No one would fault anyone for doing so — especially when a potential 2–2 draw spiraled into a crushing 4–1 defeat.
Obsessing over these minor details has become second nature for everyone connected to Barcelona — and for anyone who talks about the club. Now, the latest villain is the high line, as if Pep’s golden-era Barcelona never used one. If the goal is just to find a scapegoat and dump all the blame there, we won’t move an inch forward. The high line has worked brilliantly in the past, and there’s no reason it can’t work now — though, fair enough, maybe it doesn’t have to be this high.
