Barcelona concerned about the level of play of their defenders after the match with Atletico Madrid

Barcelona have said that in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Atletico Madrid (0-4), the team allowed their opponents to create the most dangerous chances through their full-backs. The Catalan club considers the poor performance of players in that position to be "a recurring phenomenon", reports Sport.es.

According to the source, no one in the Blaugrana camp doubts the qualities of Jules Kunde and Alex Balde, but they have noticed a decline in their performances. Kunde's defensive play is far from what was expected. Barcelona also expects more from Balde. It is emphasized that the Blaugrana coaching staff will continue to work to return the defenders to the level they showed last season.
