If there are two things that former Bulgarian international Hristo Stoichkov does not lack it is character and opinions. The former Barcelona great did not bite his tongue when giving his assessment of Barcelona’s failures this season and he had darts for everyone.
The former Ballon D’Or winner and member of Barcelona’s Johan Cruyff’s vaunted Dream Team of the 1990’s lashed out against the club’s board and their current gaffer, Quique Setién. While discussing the definition of La Liga, the former footballer mentioned that Setién and his assistant, Éder Sarabia, were a large part of the problem.
