I was scrolling around and came across this blog post from right before Pep left, reading that is exactly like reading some of the stuff that’s posted around today.

Those comments about Pique, Alves, and other players dipping in form were actually true. The only difference was that the standard was much higher back then.
Not even 12 months after this report, Barcelona was trashed by Bayern 7-0 in the semifinals. And without Messi (half injured), they would have been already eliminated by PSG in quarter-finals.
