Football Fans Rip Into Barcelona’s Defence After Shambolic First Half Against Bayern Munich

• Football fans were not happy with the way Barcelona conceded two goals in the first half against Bayern Munich
• The Catalan gainst went into the break with two goals down thanks to strikes from Sadio Mane and Choup-Moting
• Football fans took to social media to mock the Catalan giants' shambolic defending against the Bavarians

Social media users have slammed Barcelona defenders after they conceded two first-half goals against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Blaugrana had already been to the Europa League prior to kick-off after Inter Milan demolished Viktoria Plzen in the group's other game on Wednesday.

The Italian giants are six points ahead of Xavi Hernandez's team and cannot be overtaken by the Catalans thanks to their better head-to-head record even if they beat group leaders Bayern.

Barcelona started with a back four of Hector Bellerin and Alejandro Balde playing on the flanks and Marcos Alonso pairing with Jules Kounde at the heart of defence.

And Sadio Mane opened the scoring after just 10 minutes after he broke down the Barca defence and beat Bellerin for pace before finishing well past Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Bavarians doubled their lead thanks to a well finish Choupo-Moting after receiving a through ball at the blind side of the Barcelona backline.

"Barca's defence is diabolical, it's actually disgusting," posted one fan on Twitter.

"You look at Barca's defence and wonder who they'll play in the last 16 of the Europa league this season…," added another.

"Barca is terrible. Their squad has no talent. No energy. No creativity," posted another fan.

A fourth wrote: "Barcelona having a defence that consists of Bellerin, Alonso & Balde is hilarious."

While another fan posted: "This defense is laughably garbage and our offense consistently make poor passes, watch how Bayern always find their open man and don't miss, ever, this Barcelona passing is a joke."
