Kounde struggled to leave a strong impression during the match, recording minimal defensive involvement across the full 90 minutes.

Within minutes of coming on, the Uruguayan defender failed to hold Barcelona’s defensive line, allowing Real Betis to stay onside before eventually winning a penalty.The moment immediately triggered angry reactions online, with many fans openly demanding changes ahead of next season.“Arouja in less than 2 minutes already mad an error, he didn’t move with the line and keep them onside. Please get Araujo and Kounde off my team. I don’t want to see them next season.”That frustration continued throughout social media platforms after the final whistle.“Let this be Kounde and Araujo last home game 🙏🏾”Another supporter posted:“I really hope araujo leaves my club both him and Kounde”One more fan added:“Araujo just played the player onside the moment he came on. 🤦🏾♂️ I need Araujo, Balde and Kounde gone bro.😒😒😒”
