FC Barcelona recently lost 1-4 at the Supercopa de Espana (Spanish Super Cup) final against eternal rivals Real Madrid. Needless to say, losing a title match is bad enough in itself, but losing it badly against their biggest rivals has sent the Catalan giants into a tailspin.
The match was played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia amid much fanfare from fans of both sides at the venue and around the world. It was utter humiliation for Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez and his players, especially after also losing the first La Liga El Clasico in the ongoing campaign.
