Barcelona squad said to liken result in Vigo to Anoeta debacle of 2015

Tensions between the Barcelona squad and manager Quique Setién (and his second-in-command, Eder Sarabia) flared to a boiling point after a draw against Celta Vigo. This, to the point that one unnamed player has been quoted as likening the fallout to a legendary debacle in 2015, according to a new report.

Luis Enrique was nearly sacked midway through his first season in January 2015 after a 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad at Anoeta. The club went into full crisis mode and there was a very intense spat between the squad and the manager.
