After losing to Real Sociedad before the international break, FC Barcelona hoped to bounce back last night against Celta Vigo.
They were on course for a win, but a chaotic second half saw them blow a 2-0 lead and settle for a disappointing draw.
Key Moments: Red Card and Defensive Mistakes
The turning point came when Marc Casado was sent off, leaving Barcelona with 10 men.
This weakened their defense and allowed Celta Vigo to fight back. Jules Koundé also made some mistakes that led to two late goals for the home team.
Flick’s Reaction
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick did not hold back in his post-match comments. As revealed by BarcaNewsNetwork, he admitted the team played poorly and was unhappy with the result:
“We can speak honestly—it was a bad match. We’re not used to playing like this, and we need to talk about it.”
Flick criticized the team’s mistakes and lack of focus:
“Our control wasn’t good, we made many mistakes, and I’m not happy at all. The players aren’t happy either… Everyone can play much better than they did.”
He also stressed the importance of playing at full effort:
“When you play at 80, 85, or 90 percent, you can’t win.”
