A sad shape was taken by FC Barcelona in its first season after the departure of its legend Lionel Messi, and the last day revealed "sad" news. On the final transfer day, Barcelona bid farewell to its French star Antoine Griezmann, who returned on loan to his previous club Atlético Madrid.
On the other hand, Barcelona signed Dutch striker Luuk de Jong from Spanish club Sevilla, a player that experts consider "modest," especially since he scored only 4 goals in 34 matches played in La Liga last season. The historic number 10, worn by Messi for years, was announced to be given to the Spanish teenager of African descent, Ansu Fati, who is only 18 years old.
With the departure of Messi and Griezmann, the signing of the "modest" De Jong, placing trust in an 18-year-old, and relying heavily on Dutch player Memphis Depay coming from Lyon, the features of a "sad" season for Barcelona, which was once one of the world's strongest clubs, seemed to take shape. Humorous comments spread on social media about Barcelona's signings, comparing yesterday's stars, Luis Suárez, Neymar, and Messi, to today's players, De Jong, Braithwaite, and Depay.
