It often seems like every new day brings with it a fresh controversy at FC Barcelona, whether it is the club taking on the rest of Spain, and sometimes the world, or fighting battles from within.
Just over the past fortnight or so, we've had the police brutality at Elche, the decision to cancel a tribute to the squad's eight World Cup winners, Dani Olmo speaking Spanish and not Catalan when showing off the trophy in his and Xavi's hometown Terrassa, and now matters related to a general assembly on September 19.
The main gripe off the bat that many socis have is the fact that the general assembly will be held telematically and not in person. It'll be the sixth time since the pandemic, and while you could understand this method in the immediate throws of Covid and its aftermath, there's no excuse for that to be the case now and also when Barça are away at Sevilla.
