BARCELONA SLIP AT Celta Vigo: Jules Kounde Blames Team for Unfortuate Draw

Barcelona's two-point lead at the top of La Liga has been reduced after a shocking collapse in the final five minutes of their 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo. The Catalans were on the brink of victory, but came from behind to earn a point against their Galician opponents.

The turning point in the match came when Jules Kounde made a crucial error that allowed Alfonso Gonzalez to score the equalizer and make it 2-1 on the night for Celta Vigo. According to Kounde, his mistake was a result of lacking concentration in a simple game of pass back.

In the post-match interview, Kounde showed no hesitation in accepting blame for the team's downfall. "We didn't do what we needed throughout the match and in the end we were punished," he said. "Starting with me, I didn't play a good game. In a very simple passage of play, I made a very big mistake."

Kounde's comments were laced with a sense of urgency as he called for his teammates to regroup and refocus. "When things are going well it's easy. Now we have to be united and get back to our best," he said.

With the game away against Stade Brest in UEFA Champions League action on November 26, Barcelona know they must shake off this disappointing result if they hope to stay top of their table.
