Barcelona Faces Late Heartbreak Against Girona

Late Winner Seals Victory for Girona

Barcelona suffered a disappointing defeat, falling 2-1 to Girona, with the decisive goal coming late in the match from Fran Beltran. The Catalan side contends that Jules Kounde was fouled prior to the goal, attributing part of the blame to an incident involving Claudio Echeverri.

Reflections from Cubarsi

In his remarks after the match, Cubarsi expressed the shared sentiment: “Everyone witnessed the events. The truth is already known. Blaming the referee won’t help; we must focus on our own performance.”

• On Defensive Lapses:
  “We need to work on not allowing two goals in this manner. We played poorly, and it’s crucial we address our weaknesses, starting with self-reflection.”

• Identifying Areas for Improvement:
  “Our team was missing a bit of everything. We must critically assess our performance and concentrate on improving four key aspects.”

He further noted, “After scoring my goal, they equalized almost immediately. Allowing such quick responses after taking the lead is something we must rectify. We must remain focused, and we will work to enhance our game moving forward.”
