Quique Setien, the former head coach of FC Barcelona, recently spoke about the club's darkest European night, marked by an 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the 2019/2020 UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. Setien, who replaced Ernesto Valverde midway through the season, faced numerous challenges, including the pandemic's impact on the tournament format. He suggested that the team's long history of success may have led to complacency among players like Lionel Messi, causing them to underperform in critical matches. Reflecting on his tenure, Setien expressed that he was unfairly made a scapegoat for the defeat, which he viewed as a culmination of the club's ongoing financial struggles. Despite the outcome, he stated he would have taken the coaching role again, considering it a unique opportunity to lead top talent. After his time at Barcelona, Setien managed Villarreal in the 2022/2023 season and is currently without a club.
