"You Don't Deserve to Be Captain!": Barcelona Fans Urge De Jong to Leave the Club
Barcelona squandered a golden opportunity to secure victory against Celta Vigo, conceding two late goals to end the match in a 2-2 draw. Key moments included Marc Casado’s red card and a costly error by Jules Koundé, which allowed the opposition to stage a comeback.
Details. Frenkie de Jong bore the brunt of the criticism, having come on as a substitute for Gavi in the 75th minute. The Dutch midfielder was expected to bring creativity and stability to Barcelona's play, but his impact was negligible.
Post-match, social media erupted with heated debates. Many fans expressed dissatisfaction with De Jong’s performance, with some even calling for him to leave the club.
Context. Despite the draw, Barcelona remains at the top of the La Liga table with 34 points from 14 matches. However, Real Madrid, sitting seven points behind, has two games in hand and could potentially close the gap.
