Rapid was demolished by CFR Cluj, right in Giulești, with a score of 1-4, and the dream of the title already seems utopian for the white and burgundies.
The team from Grant has suffered 3 defeats out of as many possible in the play-offs, even though they finished the regular season with a stunning 4-0 victory against the leader FCSB.
At the end of the game, exiting the Giulești stadium, Dan Șucu spoke to the press: "I am convinced that all the Rapid supporters are extremely disappointed. Too many good guys in the club and too little firmness. We have work to do!", was Dan Șucu's message at the end of the match. He was then sharply asked by reporters at the stadium what will happen with Cristiano Bergodi, strongly contested by the stands at Giulești, who demanded his resignation, and Șucu had a brief message: "We don't speak in the heat of the moment."
Rapid could remain 13 points behind the 1st place if FCSB wins at home against Universitatea Craiova on Sunday.
Only FC Argeș, Academica Cliceni, Astra Giurgiu, and Poli Iași would be the other teams that started the play-offs with 3 consecutive defeats. Rapid has a goal difference of 3-8 after 3 rounds of the play-offs.
