Didn't happen at other clubs.
Didn't happen at Madrid where Perez ruthlessly kicked out CR, Ramos, Varane, Casemiro despite being legends there and having won everything.
We had this depressing fate because we happened to have an imbecile as president running our club, who gave the power to these leeches to play the legends and humiliate the club
PS: Xavi and Puyol were sitting on the bench for the 1 or 2 years they were past-it, accepting a secondary status, without creating problems. Iniesta left as a starter.
Ronaldo chose to leave, still had years left on contract. Ramos left at 35 after a season of featuring for about 1/3 of the games due to injuries.
Varane was sold for 40m after failing to continue his trajectory of becoming one of the best centre backs in the world. There were better options out there and was right time for move. Casemiro was sold for 70m at age 30. These aren't examples that you can compare to the players I mentioned.
It's extremely common for legends at clubs to play on a year or two after they're a bit past it. No point denying that.
Puyol was injured for 22 games in 12/13 and 15 games in 13/14 but sure it was all because he was just a great guy who accepted his role. Alba has only been a bench player this one season. Has he kicked up a fuss?
We failed to spend our money well in replacing many players over the years. Iniesta was starting partly because of that too. Issue is that we tried to replace Neymar and then couldn't. Tried midfielders that didn't work out too. Can't think off too many left back options that have been worth signing for the last few years that were a big enough upgrade on Alba. Lo and behold we're patient and now we have Balde for free.
