From the source

Suffering six goals in five days in two marquee matches against Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid isn't anyones' fault, it simply comes down to poor squad planning.

Hansi Flick has once again been put setup for failure after Joan Laporta, Deco and a board who expect their manager to perform miracles with a battered backline in his third season in Catalunya.
