A number of top European sides earned victories in their second group-stage matches on Tuesday, including Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea. ..Continue Reading
With Tuesday’s matches concluded, attention shifted to Wednesday’s fixtures, where many viewed Barcelona’s clash with 2024/25 Champions League winners PSG as the standout game.
Barcelona struck first through ex-Manchester City forward Ferran Torres, with Marcus Rashford providing the assist, suggesting the reigning La Liga champions were on course for a dominant win.
That assumption quickly unraveled, as PSG equalized before the break and sealed the win in the dying minutes, prompting backlash from fans toward one individual.
After shining for Spain during their 2024 European Championships triumph, ex-Bayer Leverkusen talent Dani Olmo rejoined his childhood club on a six-year deal.
Since returning, the playmaker has featured in 47 matches for the Catalan side, netting 13 times and registering nine assists, but his recent Champions League outing has drawn criticism.
Reacting to Olmo’s showing against PSG, one supporter posted on X: “Tansfer list Olmo right this instance. Enough is enough.”
Another vented: “Leave my beautiful club Dani Olmo.”
One fan pleaded: “Come on Olmo, I can’t keep defending you,”
While another expressed frustration: “A player who has one good game every quarter is Olmo! See another sitter missed.”
This season, Olmo has played nine times for Barcelona, contributing an assist against Valencia and adding both a goal and an assist in the following match versus Getafe.
Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from criticizing the 27-year-old repeatedly, arguing he hasn’t justified the reported £51m transfer fee.
As one of the club’s top earners, with a weekly wage of approximately £150,847, expectations surrounding Olmo remain sky-high.
