The Spanish press have delivered a scathing verdict on Barcelona's performance in their 3-0 defeat at Chelsea on Tuesday evening, with Lamine Yamal and Marcus Rashford singled out for criticism.
Catalan outlet L'Esportiu described the sending-off of captain Ronald Araujo as 'unforgivable', while Sport declared 'not like this, Barca', labelling the team 'unrecognisable'. Chelsea took the lead through a Jules Kounde own goal before Araujo's red card, with Estevao and Liam Delap adding further goals.
Sport gave Yamal a rating of four out of 10, saying he 'faded along with the rest of the team far too quickly' and was 'isolated and invisible for long stretches'. The publication added: 'It wasn't his day (or almost anyone's).'
Rashford, who came on at half-time for Ferran Torres, also faced harsh reviews. Sport reported that he 'couldn't act as an agitator' and 'was neither seen nor sacrificed in defence'. Marca gave him a five out of 10, while Mundo Deportivo simply stated that he 'couldn't swim against the tide'.
