Fans are convinced Barcelona must sack Quique Setien after the Catalan side were humiliated with an 8-2 scoreline by Bayern Munich.
Barcelona are feeling the heat right now. Right inside the boiling furnace is Quique Setien.
The 61-year-old is facing intense criticism in the aftermath of his side’s defeat. Not just a defeat but an embarrassing one to say the least. Surely, anyone would 8-2 to be a Barcelona fan right now. Not even Lionel Messi could save them tonight.
After Barca lost hold on La Liga to rivals Real Madrid, there were rumors Setien was going to be sacked by the club.
However, the club dismissed all those rumors and maintained that they had confidence in the Spanish tactician.
Reports from Spain claimed the club would ultimately judge Setien after the conclusion of the Champions League campaign.
If those reports or Barca’s performances this evening are to be considered, the 61-year-old’s days are all but numbered at the club.
Setien was brought in to ‘improve’ results from ex-Barca boss Ernesto Valverde. It appears that decision turned out to give opposite results.
Fans all over social media are now convinced Barca will have no choice but to sack their manager and it’s only a matter of time. We take a look at some of the best reactions doing the rounds at the moment.
One fan believes Setien will be sacked first thing tomorrow morning.
It was even more painful for Barca that Coutinho put the final nail in the coffin.
Setien is more or less done at the Nou camp.
Some fans are already thinking ahead. Who comes in next after Setien?
The latest doing the rounds is that Barcelona could turn to Pochettino as their next manager.
After the match, Pique made comments hinting at a lot of disorganization at the club internally. That only puts further pressure on his manager.
No one knows what Barca will decide but it’s safe to say Setien has his job hanging by a thread at the moment.
