Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde faced a grilling after the La Liga champions’ unbeaten start ended with a shock 2-1 loss at Leganes.

Leganes had taken only one point from their opening five matches and would have sensed a fruitless night lay ahead when the defending champions took a 12th-minute lead through Philippe Coutinho.

However, a Barca line-up also containing Lionel Messi, Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic and Gerard Pique were stunned as El Zhar drew the hosts level before Oscar struck almost immediately afterwards.

See who Valverde blamed for the reversal below:
