Not a sack of spuds, but Ivan Rakitic is no longer Barcelona class

They say all good things come to an end and that certainly appears to be the case now with Ivan Rakitic and Barcelona.

The Croatian has been a fine servant for the Blaugrana, particularly in his first few years, but there’s no doubt whatsoever now that he is surplus to requirements.

That airborne volley against Tottenham Hotspur seems a lifetime ago.

Once again, the club might have treated him a little better than the cast off he’s been made to feel over the last few months.
