A stunned Baroni said afterwards: "I am mortified for our fans and for the team, because they did not deserve to end the season like this.
“Unfortunately, I had warned them about that, as the final image is the one that remains. I saw some players who were already thinking about going on vacation from tomorrow.
“It is a pity, as the team had grown over the season and achieved an identity, but we ruined that with these last few performances.
“Anything I say right now will seem like seeking an alibi and I don’t want to do that. We had 42 points in the first half of the season.”
