Barcelona fans took to social media in droves on Monday evening, to target a member of Xavi Hernandez’s under-performing squad.
Blaugrana of course was back in action a short time ago.
New on the back of an embarrassing exit from the European League by Eintracht Frankfurt, Xavi and his companions. They turned their attention to matters in La Liga, desperately waiting for a rebound score against struggling Cadiz for relegation.
When all was said and done, however, to say such efforts have failed is to underestimate them.
Another completely sub-par display that eventually culminated when Barcelona was put to the sword with a goal for nothing.
The decisive moment of the evening was coming early in the second half in Catalonia, when former Arsenal player Lucas Perez took advantage of some slack in defense from the hosts to score from close range:

Aimed at Torres
Barcelona, in turn, remains in second place in the league table, 15 points behind its fierce rivals Real Madrid, but most importantly, it is equal with Seville and Atletico Madrid behind them.
Against the backdrop of the full-time whistle at the Camp Nou on Monday, it should come as no surprise to hear that the Blaugrana supporters were well prepared after the match.
Their team’s style of presentation saw the likes of Eric Garcia, Clement Lenglet, Frenkie de Jong and Memphis Depay heavily criticized in the aftermath of the match.
As noted above, none of them have been as targeted by Barcelona’s angry fan base as striker Ferran Torres.
The Spain international, amid a disappointing wave of recent form, is toiling in his efforts to exert any kind of positive influence on the proceedings on Monday.
And the backlash on social media was, in turn, a sight worth watching…

At this point, I don’t even know what Ferran brings to the game.

Ferran is always Barcelona’s worst player, but he still plays 90 minutes throughout the game. Xavi wakes up, don’t play by yourself!

🗣 What do you think is the main reason for Barcelona’s recent decline in form?
