It was another disheartening night for Barcelona supporters, who watched their team lose by 4-1 to Sevilla game many expected them to win comfortably. From defensive lapses to missed penalties, the frustration among fans was palpable as Hansi Flick’s side once again failed to deliver when it mattered most. The defeat has reignited old concerns about squad quality, tactical stubbornness, and an apparent lack of leadership on the pitch.
Even before the final whistle, social media was awash with anger and disbelief. Many fans questioned whether this team had the mentality or depth to compete with Europe’s elite. Others focused their rage on individual players , from Lewandowski’s penalty miss to Araujo’s errors, while rival supporters and neutral fans mocked Barcelona’s continued struggles under Flick.
Barcelona Fans Lose Patience with Flick and the Board
The majority of the criticism centered around coach Hansi Flick and the club’s hierarchy, with calls for sweeping changes after another embarrassing result.
@biglummegee didn’t hold back:
Hate this club with my life. This coach and the board need to be sacked. No way we’re bottling games we should win, fgsss. Is this the squad we are using to compete?
@unfazzed echoed the same sentiment:
Barcelona has such a weak squad, it’s amazing what Flick can do with those poor players. It’s going to be a long season. I doubt Barcelona will win anything if they don’t invest more in the team.
@insane added:
This is Flick’s fault. He can’t bench Christensen and play with Araujo, it’s a crime. You have Eric — he’s far better than Martin and Araujo. Flick is stubborn and he should wake up asap. And Lewa has to go, enough.
Players Under Fire: Lewandowski, Olmo, and Araujo Blamed
Several players were singled out by angry supporters who felt their performances cost Barcelona the match.

The face of this defeat should be Lewandowski. I don’t really know what he offers in matches. Soon, he will score three against a weak side and get his stat up again. This is the issue.
@amelkaustine was equally furious:
Last match it was a clean open net, and I don’t even want to talk about today’s penalty miss. It’s easier to balance a balloon on a needle than for Barca to get a draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. We’re just another average team of the Xavi era — can’t even maintain ten straight passes.
@toniaalexis raged about the team’s lack of heart:
Olmo keeps playing with no spirit. He needs to get the f*** out and find another club. Not Barca. Rashford should’ve taken that penalty. They should all walk back to Barcelona. WTF!
Defensive Chaos Adds to Frustration
Fans were equally critical of the defense, describing it as disorganized and porous.
@babamusaphd expressed disbelief at the selections:
The defense is porous. Araujo is a terrible defender together with Gerald Martin, especially when they play together. The best lineup is Balde, Kounde, Eric Garcia and Ferran. The penalty was avoidable if Araujo was mindful.
This defeat to Barcelona will mean that the team has lost back to back games for the first time since Hansi Flick took over from Xavi, the coach had a message for all the disappointed Barcelona fans all around the world which was shared via the team’s official X handle, they posted;
Others pointed out the coach’s slow reaction to poor performances. @pove0 commented:
Ferran Torres, Lewandowski, and Dani Olmo did not perform well in the first half. They should have been substituted by at least the 60th minute. There are other players who deserved to come in.
Rival Fans and Neutrals Join the Conversation
Sevilla and neutral supporters didn’t miss their chance to pile on after Barcelona’s latest failure.
Other fans including arch rivals Real Madrid supporters were not left out of the banter, a real madrid fan Elmer Guzman posted a reaction meme under the official Barcelona X handle, mock the barcelona fanbase after the heavy loss, he posted below;
@2xfinalistpere mocked:
Kindly teach Real Madrid how your attackers managed to break Barca’s high line and score four goals despite being caught offside, and never gave Barca a chance for a comeback. That was incredible.
Interestingly, Sevilla official X handle, was not one to be left out from the banter and trolling, the team threw a direct 4-1 shot towards Barcelona as they got their first victory over the catalonians since 2015, see post below;
@daniel audu applauded Sevilla’s coach:
I saw brilliance in your coach today. He was good in tactics plus the luck in officiating. He took advantage of every moment — that’s good coaching.
@maunchismo added a bit of context:
It has taken a few years for Sevilla to bring in a coach who fits the kind of football that succeeds here — vertical, direct, gritty. The rest is just hot air and inventions from other neighborhoods.
And @agentcarbajal had praises for the manager:
Pastor Almeida, great among the greats. Congratulations, legend of Guadalajara. Hopefully, you lead Sevilla to the championship. Congrats Sevilla for the victory against Barcelona.
Sevilla after the game took to its official X handle,to share the dressing room reactions after the huge victory against Barcelona, everyone partook in this celebrations even the admin of the team’s social media pages.

What Next for Flick’s Barcelona?
The mood among Barcelona fans is at an all-time low. The calls for change from benching key players to changing tactics. With defensive errors, missed penalties, and uninspired attacking play, supporters are beginning to doubt whether Flick and the team can repeat last year’s success and even go beyond.
Softfootball earlier reported that Barcelonas coach Hansi Flick has taken responsibility for the loss and insists that the team must look at the positive side of things, with hopes that the team will come back stronger after the international break.
Meanwhile, Sevilla’s win reignites their confidence under Pastor Almeida, while rival fans across Spain continue to mock a once-feared Barcelona side now struggling for identity. For Barca, the road ahead looks long and Flick’s seat just got a lot hotter.
