Barcelona youngster Rigui Puig was caught eyeballing manager Ronald Koeman as the Catalan side drew 0-0 with mid-table side Cadiz on Thursday night.
The turmoil surrounding the club seems to show no signs of ending as Koeman’s side have picked up just two wins in five games so far in La Liga.
Following on from a disappointing 1-1 draw to Granada on Monday, Barcelona’s lacklustre form continued against Cadiz in a match which saw Frenkie de Jong sent off in the second-half.
Puig, a 22-year-old academy graduate, couldn’t hide his disgust towards Koeman and gave the Dutchman a death stare while he sat down on the bench.
De Jong’s red card saw Koeman’s side play the last 25 minutes with 10 men as the manager himself was eventually dismissed for dissent, capping off a torrid evening.
The manager was left fuming after Sergio Busquets’ late booking and was given his marching orders for complaining.
It was all but smooth-sailing in the final minutes as goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s saves earned Barcelona point.
Puig, who struggled to find opportunities since Koeman’s appointment, finally came on with ten minutes left, even though the side was still struggling.
Do you believe Koeman is going to be fired before Christmas? Let us know in the comments section.
