Barcelona defender Jules Koundé has publicly accepted responsibility for his costly error that led to the team's dramatic collapse in the closing moments of their recent match against Celta Vigo, which ended in a disappointing draw.

Speaking candidly after the game, Koundé didn’t shy away from admitting his mistake:

"I take full responsibility because we should have won this game. It was my critical error that cost us. I’m ashamed of what happened."

The French international reflected on the incident, pointing to a lapse in concentration as the root cause:

"I lacked focus at the crucial moment, and we couldn’t secure the win. It’s painful to know I let the team down."

Defensive Woes for Barcelona

Koundé’s admission comes amidst growing concerns about Barcelona’s defensive vulnerabilities. The team has now conceded goals in four consecutive matches, a troubling statistic for a side vying for dominance in La Liga. Additionally, the Catalan giants have only managed to collect a single point from their last two league outings, further compounding their frustrations.
