Hooked in the last moments, this Saturday, by Celta de Vigo (2-2) as part of the 14th day of La Liga, FC Barcelona was scuttled. While leading 2-0, the Blaugranas completely lost track of this meeting in the last ten minutes. Everything, in fact, changed after the second yellow – synonymous with red – from Marc Casado, who left his team at 10 in the 82nd minute. Four minutes later, the score was finally 2 goals with the goals in quick succession from Alfonso Gonzalez and Hugo Alvarez. Enough to fuel Hansi Flick’s frustration after the meeting.
“It’s not just because of the last ten minutes but the whole match. We really had a bad match. We have to be honest. We made a lot of mistakes, including in the first half, we didn’t have confidence with the ball. We didn’t play our usual football. We were lucky on certain actions and we managed to take a point at the end. We have to react, it can’t happen again. It’s not just because of Jules (Koundé, at fault on the first goal, editor’s note) or Casado’s red. It’s the whole team that loses or wins together”assured the German technician, frustrated by the performance of his players. As a reminder, in the event of victories against Leganés this Sunday and in its postponed match in Valencia, Real Madrid could come back to within a small point of Barça.
