Barça is experiencing the most serious financial crisis in its history and an old glory of the club added fuel to the fire during a media outing.
Barça is facing an economic deficiency which has tarnished its image for several years. The icing on the cake is that the club board is currently unable to register all the players on its roster.
This is how Barça saw La Liga remove Dani Olmo as well as Pau Victor from the players authorized to play for the club in this second half of the season. However, after several negotiations, the Blaugrana ended up obtaining their provisional registrations.
“Barça was so beautiful”, Ronald de Boer regrets
This situation did not escape former Barça midfielder Ronald de Boer who was nostalgic and frustrated.
“It is an extremely sad sight that such a beautiful club like Barça continues to receive authorizations. Especially seeing what they once were… Playing with UNICEF on the jersey.
Other clubs are playing with the rules, trying to survive, but Barcelona are allowed to get away with it. That’s what’s pretty crazy. If they had been a business they would have been declared bankrupt”he said.
The former Dutch midfielder thus evokes with regret the glorious past of Barça. He also denounces the decision of the CSD to authorize his former club to register Dani Olmo and Pau Victor.
This position coming from a former player of the club will not be well received in Catalonia. In addition, Ronald de Boer took the opportunity to praise the Madrid rival.
“It’s ridiculous, they have become a soap opera. They want to continue to compete with Real Madrid. They hate the fact that Real Madrid continues to be successful”he concluded.
Clearly, Ronald de Boer will not spend his vacation in Barcelona. The versatile midfielder played for Barca in the 1999-2000 season.
