"Needs Contract Termination," "Too Useless" - Barcelona Defender Gets Savaged On Twitter For His Performance Against Intercity
Barcelona fans have slammed Marcos Alonso for his performance in their Copa del Rey thriller against Spanish third-tier side CF Intercity.
Alonso didn't start the game on Wednesday (January 4) night but was brought on for Hector Bellerin in the 83rd minute with his side leading 3-2. Within three minutes of his arrival, Intercity equalised on a swift break. The former Chelsea man gave the ball away in the build-up to the move and was also extremely slow to track back, with the Blaugrana light on defence.
While he didn't do too much wrong in extra time, Barcelona fans expressed their displeasure with Alonso on social media after the game. One of them wrote on Twitter:
@Valla_Morghulis
"I need Marcos Alonso bundled out of my club please!! He’s too useless"
Another tweeted:
"Marcos Alonso needs contract termination 🤝
One fan simply wrote:
"Xavi sabotaging himself with Marcos Alonso"
@IPrince_ec
"How on earth did Marcos Alonso end up in Barcelona and Xavi still has plans to renew him? Ah!
@loadDisbalanced
"Marcos alonso is nothing but lenglet 2.0 "

"Xavi and Laporta need to take a long look in the mirror… stop playing players bc they are Spanish.. Busquets, Marcos Alonso, Hector Bellerin, Eric Garcia. They are not at the level a Barca play should be at and should leave @FCBarcelona"
Alonso ended the game with 96% passing accuracy, two successful duels and a clearance. However, his error provided Barcelona with an unnecessary headache in a game they could and should have put to bed earlier.
