The Balaídos centrifuge, one of the stadiums where Barça usually suffers the most short circuits, reached the end. He did it to Hansi Flick’s despair. The Barcelona coach ranted on the sideline trying to get his players to maintain order after Marc Casadó was sent off. But he did not achieve it before or after and in a flash Barça let the victory slip away. Second day without adding the three points coinciding with the absence of Lamine Yamal and with a drop in the reliability of his men after a supersonic start to the championship. The coach’s face, more tense than usual, was a map of how the match had gone, the first draw of the season.

The German did not hide his disappointment after the match and it was emphatic. “We played a very bad game from the beginning to the end. We have been terrible in the phases, we have not had any control, we have not played with confidence. We have missed very easy passes. In the end we conceded a draw. We haven’t been as we wanted, if we don’t play one hundred percent we can’t win, it’s as simple as this,” analyzed the Barcelona coach, who only congratulated himself for the presence of Gavi. “He has a lot of mentality. You have to go step by step in your recovery. On his return. I hope he can play 90 minutes soon because he gives a lot to the team.” Beyond the tie, Flick asked his players not to get discouraged. “We have to stay upright, these are things that happen, the players know that the expulsion and the goals against are a consequence of our bad game. “Everyone could have done much better, we have made bad decisions, we have to get back to our level.”
Koundé: “I made a gross mistake, we tied partly because of me, I accept it”
Starting with Jules Koundé, who showed his face after the game and recognized his responsibility in the play that activated Celta’s reaction and caused the 1-2 score. “I played a bad game from the start, I had a lack of concentration. I have paid dearly. It’s a gross mistake that can’t happen to me. I accept that mistake that put us in a difficult situation. That mistake hurts us. We have lacked concentration,” said the Frenchman, who hopes that Balaídos will serve as a lesson. “We have to learn from this and get back to our level. We must now demonstrate whether we have character or not. We have to be united.” Flick is waiting for you this Sunday to read your report card, with Araújo already part of the group.
