Two headline members of the first-team ranks at Barcelona have on Saturday been targeted in ruthless fashion.\u00d7<\/p>\n

This comes owing to their respective performances in the Blaugrana\u2019s latest outing.<\/p>\n

Hansi Flick\u2019s troops marked their return to action a short time ago, welcoming lowly Las Palmas to Catalunya\u2019s capital with sights on a first win in three in La Liga.<\/span><\/p>\n

When all was said and done, however, Barca\u2019s woes on the domestic front only continued to mount.<\/p>\n

As much came as a solitary strike on the part of Raphinha proved itself to be little more than a consolation, en route to a 2-1 defeat.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the 90 minutes, a number of the hosts\u2019 stars struggled badly, at both ends of the pitch.<\/p>\n

As alluded to above, though, post-match, two players in particular have been singled out for more widespread condemnation than any others, on the part of fans and the media alike.<\/p>\n

The pair in question? Jules Kound\u00e9, and Robert Lewandowski.<\/p>\n

Both considered absolutely pivotal figures in Barcelona\u2019s success across the season to date, stopper Kound\u00e9 and frontman Lewandowski endured outings to forget against Las Palmas.<\/p>\n

The former looked out of sorts in and out of possession alike for the 2nd outing in succession, whilst Lewandowski\u2019s touch was badly off, culminating in a number of wasted chances in front of goal.<\/p>\n

Both will now need to quickly dust themselves down, ahead of an upcoming La Liga clash with RCD Mallorca on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
