Barcelona earned a sensational 5–3 win over Real Betis in a chaotic, goal-packed showdown, keeping themselves firmly at the top of the La Liga standings with 40 points. They remain ahead of Real Madrid, who sit on 35 points and are preparing for their upcoming clash with Celta Vigo.
However, despite the impressive scoreline, tension inside the Barcelona dressing room is reportedly rising. According to El Nacional, goalkeeper Juan García is furious with teammate Jules Koundé, whose repeated defensive mistakes have contributed to several goals conceded this season.
The outlet claims that García is urging manager Hansi Flick and his staff to take firm action, insisting that Koundé be removed from the starting XI to avoid further jeopardizing the team’s campaign.
These reports come as Barcelona continue searching for defensive stability, aiming to protect their momentum during a critical phase of the season amid a fierce battle for the La Liga crown.
