Frenkie de Jong commented on the Pau Cubarsí's disallowed goal in hard Barcelona's defeat in Copa del Rey

Barcelona has too many defensive issues to compete with the best teams in Europe. Thursday’s embarrassing defeat to Atlético Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals made that clear. However, a disallowed goal by Pau Cubarsí sparked strong criticism from Frenkie de Jong.

The first half saw only one team on the field, with Atlético Madrid scoring all four goals before the break.
