Ally McCoist didn’t hold back as Aston Villa lost 3-0 to Barcelona in the Champions League.Unai Emery’s torrid times at Camp Nou continued as the Villans fell to defeat on Tuesday.
An horrendous error gifted Lamine Yamal a chance to net the opener.One became two in the second half as a deflected Raphinha found its way past Zion Suzuki, before the Brazilian later made it three.
That scoreline didn’t necessarily flatter the hosts as the claret and blue outfit fell away as the encounter went on.Villa ultimately made things easy for the Catalan giants, something that wasn’t lost on McCoist.
Ally McCoist rips into Joao Gomes vs BarcelonaIt was always going to be tough against one of the best teams in the world away from home.That is exactly why the claret and blue outfit needed to keep things tight and not give Barca anything.
They didn’t do that as Yamal was gifted after just seven minutes.Zion Suzuki drilled the ball into Joao Gomes before the Brazilian laid the ball on a plate to the Ballon d’Or nominee.The Spaniard went on to find the corner, leaving McCoist to make his opinion clear.Speaking via TNT Sports, he said: “I don’t think he wanted it. I don’t think he should have got it. When he did get it, he should have handled it better.”You can actually see the fear in his face when the ball comes to him. He tries to go to the left-back. He knocks it into an area and he [Yamal] is sharp as a tac.”
It was crazy and a massive error that summed up where Villa went wrong at Camp Nou.
