Barcelona’s Inaki Pena has expressed his disappointment and frustration following the team’s 2-2 draw against Real Betis. Pena acknowledged that the stadium is a challenging venue, but felt that the team’s performance and result were still unacceptable.
Pena’s sentiments were echoed by Hansi Flick, who attributed the team’s struggles to their slow pace. Flick explained that the team’s inability to keep a clean sheet on the road continues to be a major concern.

Pena’s candid assessment of the team’s performance suggests that there is a sense of urgency and disappointment within the squad.
Pena’s comments also highlighted the team’s struggles in the second half, where they were unable to withstand the pressure from Betis. The midfielder’s frank admission that the team “lost 2 points that we already had won” underscores the sense of frustration and disappointment that pervades the squad.
