This loss indicates the following:
Valverde is still not good for the job, perhaps the team is bigger than him. There's need for improvement in his player selection.
Absolute over reliance on Messi is still in existence. Despite the presence of many heavy names eg Griezmann the team still lacks a well to do talisman.
Jordi Alba still got a lot to do. His crosses lack delivery. It's high time the club start tasting Junior Firpo.
Sergi Roberto is NOT a first option in midfield.
Dembele is performing below expectations. The supposed "Neymar replacement" is very wrong. He's performing averagely.
Finally, this is a sign that Laliga is going to be very competitive and retaining the title will be a very difficult task.
