One FC Barcelona star has taken the blame for the side's humiliating defeat to Villarreal on Saturday night.
The Catalan giants lost more ground on LaLiga leaders Real Madrid after going down 5-3 to the Yellow Submarine.
Manchester City loanee Joao Cancelo made his return to action but made a costly error which lead to a goal shortly after his arrival in the second half.

"My performance today was a disaster," Cancelo told LaLiga after the game.
"Tomorrow I will give everything in training to be at my best on Wednesday. We are a great team. The coach is not to blame. He did them well and I did not reciprocate. "
Has the League gone? Mathematically no, but it is very difficult."
Fellow Barcelona player Frenkie de Jong also says the players are to blame for the big defeat, not Xavi Hernandez.
"It's our fault, the players fault. If it doesn't work out it's our fault", as per reports from DAZN, via Diario AS.
"This can't happen to a top team. If you come back and are 3-2 up, you can't leave that much space on a counter attack.
"We have to do much better. We have complete confidence in Xavi and the staff, they're doing a good job. This can't happen and it's our fault."
