Balde couldn't handle Atlético's quick breaks from Giuliano Simeone and Marcos Llorente, while Koundé struggled against Saúl Ñíguez and Antoine Griezmann's counters—issues echoed in a prior game against Mallorca. Both have played heavy minutes this season, with Balde over 1,800 in La Liga and Koundé nearing 2,000 across competitions, contributing to their dip in form. João Cancelo, back on loan from Al Hilal, offers versatility on either flank with just 101 La Liga minutes so far; the staff sees him as key rotation amid fatigue, especially with Girona up next on February 16 and the Copa return leg on March 3. Barça lead La Liga by one point, but the vulnerabilities highlight John Terry's point that defense wins titles.

Key Takeaway

Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé faltered badly in Barcelona's 4-0 Copa del Rey loss to Atlético Madrid, leaving the coaching staff searching for answers on the flanks.
