There were some injuries at the defence side before the inter game and that was one of Key Barcelona defence among was Balde and kounde.. Besides, I really didn’t think it was the defence, fine they could have won with a good defence but they literally wasted chances that could have put them 3 goals ahead , the 3 against one , 1 on 1 and some other clear chances was completely wasted so imo I put them blame on the wasted chances..

Barcelona had bet on their defence and they suffered a big defeat against Inter. Their goalscoring woes were caused by errors at the back & goalkeeping instability, which forced the management to sign Joan Garcia from Espanyol for 26 million. The move put extra pressure on the goalkeeping bench. Now Barcelona have 4 goalkeeper Ter Stegen, Szegedy, Pena & Garcia, paying all those salaries is a solid loss for them. All eyes are now on stegen, he is a top level player & if Garcia is the first choice a transfer is likely.

Their young defenders show promise however if Flick want a strong defence, he will need professional & experienced right now, which means a big spending, right? Yet with Laporta very unlikely to put up the chips to sign Nico Williams cause their finance is shaky. so Flick has to play his hands smartly to tighten the backline & protect the goalkeeper by avoiding failure.
