Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick did not mince his words after a dramatic 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo at Balaidos, where the Catalans squandered a 2-0 lead in the final ten minutes.
The German tactician delivered a stern message to his players both in private and during his post-match interviews, emphasizing the need for a stronger mentality and sharper focus.
Barcelona looked to be cruising toward victory thanks to goals from Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. However, a red card for midfielder Marc Casado in the 82nd minute turned the tide of the match.
Just two minutes later, Jules Kounde’s individual error allowed Celta to halve the deficit. The hosts then completed the comeback with a stunning equalizer in the 86th minute, leaving Barcelona stunned and Flick fuming.
Flick addressed the team in the dressing room immediately after the game, waiting for Gavi to finish his media duties before gathering the squad.
