As a goalkeeper, I have a clear view of everything happening on the pitch, and I’m sorry to say, but there’s one particular player who doesn’t seem to have the best interests of Barcelona at heart

Barcelona goalkeeper Inaki Pena has openly shared his dissatisfaction and disappointment following the team’s 2-2 draw against Real Betis. While recognizing that the Betis stadium is a challenging venue to play in, Pena made it clear that he found both the team’s performance and the outcome of the match to be below acceptable standards. His comments reveal a deep sense of frustration about the missed opportunity to secure a victory.

Similarly, Barcelona manager Hansi Flick voiced concerns about the team’s struggles, attributing their difficulties to a slow and lethargic style of play. He also drew attention to a persistent issue that has plagued the team this season: their inability to keep a clean sheet during away games. Flick indicated that this defensive vulnerability remains a significant obstacle to the team’s success.

The draw against Real Betis could have serious implications for Barcelona’s position in the league standings. If Real Madrid manages to win their two games in hand, Barcelona risks falling to second place. This potential setback has added to the growing urgency and frustration within the squad, a sentiment strongly echoed in Pena’s forthright post-match remarks.

Pena also highlighted the team’s struggles in the second half, particularly their inability to handle the intense pressure applied by Real Betis. He expressed his dismay by stating that the team “lost 2 points we had already won,” emphasizing the deep disappointment felt by both him and his teammates over the squandered lead. This statement encapsulates the mounting frustration and the pressing need for Barcelona to address their shortcomings moving forward.
