Supporters of La Liga heavyweights Barcelona have taken to social media in numbers on Saturday evening, to take aim at one member of the club’s squad.
De Jong not enough
The Blaugrana marked their return to action a short time ago.

Whilst so many have opted to point the finger of blame squarely at Gavi for Barca’s latest pair of dropped points, though, others have taken issue with the management of Xavi.
This comes owing to the Blaugrana icon’s decision not to hook his fledgling midfield talent from proceedings earlier, as Gavi walked the disciplinary tightrope whilst booked:
