Tough Day: Barcelona Gets Eliminated From Champions League, Lose Out On Millions Of Dollars And Gets Trolled By All Of Twitter
Tough, tough day to be Barcelona. They were eliminated in the Champions League group stage before they even played today thanks to an Inter win. It's only the second time in club history they've been knocked out this early in back-to-back years. Tough, tough look. Can't relate. Don't want to relate. But luckily their sporting director is here to teach the world a valuable lesson:

That's right kids. Don't ever take the blame. Why would you? Blame everyone else for your failings, it's the responsible thing to do. You better believe I'm blaming Clem for every bad blog I have. I'm blaming rims for missing a shot. I'm blaming wind if my drive ends up in the rough. Never my fault because what's the fun in that?
As if getting eliminated was bad and embarrassing enough, it also cost Barcelona millions of dollars:
[Source] - And their early exit plunges the skint Spanish club into a further £18million black hole.
Barca's debt stands at around £1billion and yet the club managed to spend £150m on transfer fees this summer - by selling off various parts of the club including image rights such as the stadium name to Spotify.
Their budget for this season was based upon reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Yikes. This is basically the new graduate who basis their financial outlook on one bonus check. Always the smart thing to do. Now, sure, when you get the bonus check splurge. Have a full treat yourself day. But pretty sure lesson 1 in any sort of financial learning is not to base your funds on that. Great, now I'm speaking like a middle-aged father.
Anywho, back to it. Barcelona is one of the most successful and known clubs in the entire world. Not only did they get eliminated. Not only did they lose out on millions. They are out here getting trolled to death by basically all of Twitter.
A simple tweet with numbers (numbies for the youths) that I haven't seen in quite some time. 105k likes, too many replies to even link anything. Just a fantastic job of Twitter coming together to make fun of Barcelona. Precisely what a parody account should do in this situation. Basically come together for everyone to make the same joke.
