Barcelona’s recent loss to Las Palmas at Montjuïc has raised concerns within the club and cast doubt on several players’ performances. This defeat marked their third league loss of the season, following earlier setbacks against Osasuna and Real Sociedad. With this result, Barcelona is now at risk of losing their top spot in La Liga.
German coach Hans-Willich Flick has reprimanded two key players for their subpar performances, particularly in the match against Las Palmas. The team was held to a goalless draw in their last La Liga fixture, and several players underperformed. According to reports, the players themselves acknowledged the need to improve and felt they should have secured a win against Las Palmas.
Spanish outlet “Relevo” reported that Flick stressed the importance of unity and solidarity among the players during these challenging times. While he refrained from singling out any one player, he criticized the duo of Koundé and Lewandowski, urging them to improve their contributions both defensively and offensively.
It is also worth noting that Barcelona has earned just one point from their last nine available in La Liga, losing the points advantage they once had over Real Madrid following their recent Clasico victory.
