As referee Ignacio Iglesias Villanueva brought proceedings to a halt at the Anoeta tonight, Culés across the globe bemoaned the performance of their team as FC Barcelona once again succumbed to defeat in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad. The 1-0 defeat marks the latest in a long line of disappointing away results at the Anoeta, a stadium in which the Blaugrana have not won since 2007 when Frank Rijkaard was in charge on the touchline.
It also marked the second successive defeat in La Liga for the reigning champions, and the third consecutive (domestic) match in which they have been unable to win – and if you dare to venture onto social media, or indeed into the comments section of a website like this, you’ll see that most Culés are quite unhappy about that.
