Barcelona fans have launched a fierce online attack on head coach Hansi Flick after his decision to reward the players following their 1-0 defeat to Leganes in La Liga on Sunday.
Barcelona had the opportunity to extend their lead over Real Madrid to four points by defeating the relegation-threatened Leganes at the "Montjuïc stadium". However, the team failed to seize the chance.
Flick's Decision to Reward Players After Defeat Sparks Fan Backlash
In the hours following the final whistle of the loss to Leganes, "Mundo Deportivo" reported, citing anonymous sources, that Flick had decided to give the players a two-day break. The brief holiday is intended to allow the squad to recharge before their crucial Saturday clash against Atlético Madrid, with Barcelona's recent home form putting them at risk of a third consecutive defeat in front of their supporters.
However, many Barcelona fans were unhappy with the decision, flooding the comments section with criticism. One fan remarked, "Giving two days off after every loss is bad business," while another added, "He’s softening up! They should watch the defeat video over and over today! Two days off? Really?"
With Atlético Madrid currently in excellent form and Barcelona struggling domestically, tensions are rising within the team ahead of the final stretch of the year.
