Barcelona’s night at Balaídos was not ideal after the Catalan team fell apart and conceded two goals in two minutes following Marc Casado’s red card, resulting in a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo in La Liga.
Barça returned with just one point after being 2-0 up until the 84th minute of the match, when Hansi Flick’s team conceded the first goal following a fatal mistake by Frenchman Jules Koundé, who mishit his back pass to goalkeeper Iñaki Peña.
Koundé’s error was publicly criticized by his teammate Gavi in television statements after the match, with the Spanish international saying that the ball should have been cleared and describing the incident as a “stupid mistake.”
The Spanish newspaper *Sport* explained that Gavi’s comments angered Flick in the locker room, and even the players behind the scenes were unhappy with them.
Barcelona’s locker room believes that what Gavi said was inappropriate, and both coach Flick and the players feel that any mistakes made by the team should not be blamed on one player alone; instead, the responsibility should be shared by everyone.
It is worth noting that Barcelona drew 2-2 with Celta Vigo in the match that took place on Saturday during the 14th round of La Liga.
Following this draw, Barcelona earned one point, bringing their total to 34 points, thus retaining the top spot in the Spanish league table, having won eleven matches, drawn one, and lost two.
