Twitter users for Barcelona accused Sagio Busquets for the defeat.
A Twitter user, @Barca_izbac, said, “These are the kind of matches where kessie should be starting not busqets. Xavi is seriously wasting one of the the best midfielders in serieA from last few season.”
Another fan, Charles, with Twitter I.D, @ch4rles_77 said, “If Busqets and Garcia start next game. Im starting to question Xavi. Can’t fully blame him yet. Cause our players make 40 mistakes a game.”
