Here we are!

Eric Garcia was feeling pain ... so Gerard was left and we thought we’d play him, Get more information yes,” he said. “But they sent him off at halftime. It was the result of the tension of the moment. We felt injustice, hence Gerard’s reaction.” Barcelona dominated the landscape of Spanish football ever since Pep Guardiola was appointed their manager 14 years ago. Between 2008 and 2019, they never went two years without lifting the La Liga title. They won the league in eight of 11 seasons, a period in which historic rivals Madrid only won two.
