Navarro: “We made a lot of mistakes and didn’t achieve our goals, there will be changes ahead of next season”

Barcelona suffered their third successive defeat against Real Madrid and were eliminated from the semi-finals of the Spanish league, meaning they will be without a title for the first time since 2017!

After the end of Game 3 against the “Queen”, the General Manager of the “Blaugrana”, Juan Carlos Navarrospoke to the press representatives, describing this season as a failure and announcing changes.

In detail what he said:



“We are finishing a season in which we did not achieve our goals. It was a transition season, with a lot of changes, but we didn’t manage to take advantage of having the fifth game against Olympiakos at home for the Euroleague playoffs, while we were also eliminated from the league semi-finals 3-0 and we are very disappointed. In a few days we will make our decisions for the next season and announce them through a press conference. Personally, I think changes are needed because we have not been able to achieve our goals.”.

For Grimmow: “It’s not all the coach’s fault, some players couldn’t cope. We’ve all made mistakes. We have to learn from them and look forward to next season. I can’t answer whether Grimmow will stay, but no doubt there will be changes. I’ve said it since last December, I didn’t like the behavior of some of our players. Kalinic had been out for a while, but he wasn’t the only one to misbehave. This year we were not at the level that Barcelona should be. We have to do better next year”.

His message to the team’s fans: “I apologize to them. This year they supported us like never before. In this last game the team tried hard. We could say about the refereeing, Veseli’s dismissal was decisive, just like in the Cup final. I tell the fans that we will continue to try as we have done so far. We will adapt and next year we will be better. In Europe we had a good season”.
