“Unfortunately only 18 players can enter, but that’s not a thing to worry about. There are many matches and there will be room for everyone ”. With this sentence from Rijkaard, the Barcelona manager in 2005, he justified the decision to leave Lionel Messi, Maxi López and Damiá out of the last return match against Betis for the Spanish Super Cup. On 20 August, Barcelona were champions (they won 3-0 in the first leg in Seville and lost 2-1 at the Camp Nou) and the Argentines watched the celebrations from the crowd. They don’t even have the courage to go out on the playing field. They did not receive a medal. They do not appear in the photos of the party. They weren’t champions.
