"Stay away from my club" "Has brain damage" - Barcelona fans claim new signing adds no value to the team after 3-3 Inter Milan draw

Barcelona fans have torn into new signing Marcos Alonso for his performance against Inter Milan on a disastrous night for the club in the Champions League.

Blaugrana's hopes in the competition are now hanging by a thread after they were held to a 3-3 draw at home to the Italian giants on Wednesday, October 12. Ousmane Dembele gave the hosts a 1-0 lead when he scored the only goal of the first half before Nicolo Barella equalized shortly after the break.

Lautaro Martinez put Inter ahead in the 63rd minute before a chaotic final ten minutes at the Camp Nou. Robert Lewandowski put the teams level again in minute 82 before Robin Gosens scored in the 89th minute, as it looked like Inter had secured a win to knock Barcelona out of the competition.

But the Poland international scored his second of the game and his 14th in 12 appearances in the second minute of stoppage time to keep Barca's faint hopes alive. After the game, Blaugrana fans were unimpressed with their team, and in particular their new signings.

Marcos Alonso appears to have incurred the fans' wrath after an ineffective display. The full-back has been unconvincing for his new club since his move from Chelsea in the summer, having played just five times.

The Spaniard was given the nod over impressive youngster Alejandro Balde, but failed to cope with an impressive Nerazzurri attack. After the full-time whistle, Barcelona supporters took to Twitter to criticize the left-back for his lackluster display.

Here are some of the best tweets:


Xavi Hernandez claims Barcelona 'don't deserve to play in Champions League'

Barcelona have still won just one of their four Champions League games this season and Xavi could not hold back his frustrations after the game. The club are third in Group C with only four points, three less than second-placed Inter.

In a scathing indictment of his team, the club legend told a press conference (as per Barca Universal):

"I'm very disappointed, sad, frustrated, I'm angry. I have to be self-critical, we don't deserve to play in the Champions League. It hurts me, but it's the truth."

He further added:

"If you don't beat Inter at home, you don't deserve to stay in this competition."

Xavi also recognized that his team have made too many mistakes in the competition this term, as he also stated:

"This year in Europe we have failed to minimise our mistakes, today we did a lot of things in the first half, in the game we were very good in the first half, but in the second half the mistakes killed us."
