"Should leave my club ASAP", "Thanks to them, we played against 13 men" - Fans rip into Barcelona duo after 3-0 loss to Chelsea

Barcelona fans online heavily criticized Ferran Torres and Ronald Araujo for their performance in their 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League. Both players delivered poor performances in the clash.

In 45 minutes of gameplay, Ferran Torres missed a major chance to score in the first half and delivered only 50% accurate passes. Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo was sent off with a second yellow (44'), while making no clearances and winning no tackles. It was an easy win for Chelsea, with a Jules Kounde own goal (27') in the first half, followed by Estevao (55') and Liam Delap (73') tripling the lead in the second half.

Fans took to X to criticize Ronald Araujo and Ferran Torres' performances. One X user wrote:

@eatingicesoup

the araujo red will not distract me from the fact that ferran is a dogs*it footballer even if he scored 50 goals tonight he would still be a piece of s*it worth exactly nothing f*ck the leaf of the tree that gave him oxygen and the audacity to sign to this club worthless player

In five games played in the UEFA Champions League, Barcelona have won only two, while losing two and drawing once. With seven points from five games, they stand 16th in the table. The Catalans must win their remaining games to qualify directly to the Round of 16.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick opens up on Ronald Araujo's red card vs Chelsea

In the post-match press conference, Barcelona coach Hansi Flick discussed Ronald Araujo's red card in the UCL clash vs Chelsea. He believed the second tackle was unnecessary, explaining (via Barca Universal):

"I don't know why Araujo got the first yellow card. As for the second one, he could have avoided tackling like that. I think I can guide him more on what to do. It happens in football. It was not the time, nor the match, but that's how it went."

Speaking further about the overall outcome of the game, he added:

"I think it was a one-off match. This is Chelsea. We started well and could have scored. When you have a red card, things go like this. I repeat; I'm really optimistic about the next matches."

As things stand, Barcelona are second in LaLiga, a point behind table toppers Real Madrid. They also have key players missing, with Pedri out injured and Raphinha and Marcus Rashford not fit to start a game yet. The Catalan side will have to improve their game to hold their LaLiga title and qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.
