Kounde admits mistake in Celta match

Barcelona's Jules Kounde was self-critical after his bad game at Balaidos, especially in the action that ended with Celta's first goal.
"We didn't put in what was required throughout the game and in the end we were punished, starting with me. I didn't have a good game at all, I lacked concentration and in the end you pay dearly for it in a very simple play. It's a gross mistake that can't happen. I accept that mistake, which in the end put us in a difficult situation", he said.
The Azulgrana explained how the play went. "Although it's clear to me that the ball has gone, I have to continue. These are details that indicate that I wasn't there. I accept it, we mustn't sink."
Kounde acknowledged that the La Liga leaders lost ‘two very important points’ at Balaidos, although he is confident that this match will serve as a "learning experience" for the future.
"I think we haven't played well in the last few games, so we have to get back to our level. Now we will see if the group has character or not. Now that we've lost points we have to stick together and get back to our best," he said.
