"Bach is the musician and Mozart is the music," that great master of musicians, Oriol Martorell, used to say. In any case, and following his idea of ​​attributing to one person the highest representation of the profession and to another the personification of the specialty, let's play for a while, since this is a matter of taste.

The first league season without Messi wearing the blaugrana shirt begins. After the journey of the last few weeks and the departure of the Argentine to PSG, it is time to start a new era. "There has been a lot of talk about Messi and it's normal. He is the best player in the world, he has shown for many years in this club his effectiveness, the quality to win titles... We won't have him with us anymore, but we have other players and a very strong squad", Ronald Koeman acknowledged in the press conference prior to Sunday's match against Real Sociedad (8pm, Movistar LaLiga).

Just when it was time to take the last step to finally reach to the summit, Barça suffered a slip as painful as unexpected. In the worst moment, when nobody expected it. Neither Koeman, who was sent off, nor the players, nor fans who took for granted that the game against Granada was a sure win. But if in the Cup it was Barça who fought back with a comeback that was celebrated as a title, in the league Diego Martinez's team has taken its revenge in the second half. In the first half Messi scored a goal that finally put Barça totop of the league, but by the second half the team run out of gas. And Granada plundered the Camp Nou. It took the food off Barça's plate just as Koeman's team was about to enjoy a great feast. They stole their wallet as they walked out of the bank with a good wad of notes inside.
