While we are waiting to find out which heads will roll at the Camp Nou, the players were now back in Barcelona one day after the most humiliating defeat in Barca's history. The players had to go there to pick up their belongings. There they were received with banners called them mercenaries. When departing, they all left via the back door to avoid the fans apart from academy player Monchu.

According to 'AS', the man in charge of security at Barca, Rafael Soldado, had recommended them to go via the back door despite there being only around 10 fans there. In fact, a small group of supporters had already been criticising the players.

In fact, the only way you could tell they were coming to the training ground was the police van which was escorting the two buses. Both buses were unmarked probably to try and not attract any unwanted attention.

Only Monchu went out through the main door. Quique Setien went out through the back door. His time as Barca coach looks set to be up while Eder Sarabia, the number two, went out through the main door.

With regards to the upper echelons, the director for institutional relations, Guillermo Amor, did stop his vehicle briefly and talked to the fans. 'RAC1' cited witnesses who said he had apologised on behalf of the club.

The pandemic probably prevented more people from gathering near the training centre (there were more media than fans, in fact) although there were some insults and even the odd interesting phrase. "We've been hit for eight as if we were Espanyol".
