Langela, as mentioned, apologized for the photos and wrote to the fans: “I want to first of all express regret about the result yesterday. This club deserves the most and we could not live up to expectations. In addition, I want to explain my photo with Lewandowski. It is a momentary photo that does not express My sense of accomplishment. My values are unquestionable and everyone knows how committed and loving I am to my profession, Barcelona and the fans. I will never respond to something that hurts us so much. Today we are all very sad, but now we have a task: to bring back “Barcelona is where it deserves to be.”
Aside from those troubles, Barcelona have lost Jordi Alba who will return to play only next month and have left her meanwhile without a proper left-back. The team chose to risk him in the game against Bayern and the result was the aggravation of the injury in the back thigh muscle.
