Barcelona fans were furious at Frenkie de Jong for his colossal mistake against Real Sociedad.
De Jong lost the ball inside his own half during Barca's La Liga clash against Sociedad on Sunday. The midfielder was punished immediately as Alexander Isak brought Sociedad level from the move.
Robert Lewandowski gave Barcelona the lead in the first minute of the game. However, Frenkie de Jong's mistake five minutes later proved to be decisive as it cost his team dearly.
The Dutch midfielder has been the subject of speculation for the better part of the transfer window as his future at the club remains uncertain. He's been linked with moves to Premier League giants Chelsea and Manchester United.
Fans gathered on Twitter to express their opinion on De Jong's mistake. Many pointed out that Barca coach Xavi Hernandez is making a mistake by playing him in the CDM position.
Others went as far as to label him as 'overrated' and called for the player to be sold as soon as possible.

Barcelona are struggling get going in La Liga at the moment
Barcelona haven't had the best start to their league campaign this season. They were held to a goalless draw at home in their opening game of the season against Rayo Vallecano.
Expectations are high for the Catalan club as they had a very productive transfer window. Jules Kounde was brought in from Sevilla for a hefty sum of £55 million. Another defensive reinforcement came in the form of Andreas Christensen as the former Chelsea man joined on a free transfer. Raphinha was also brought in from Leeds United.
They made a superstar signing this window as well, with former Bayern Munich talisman Robert Lewandowski arriving at the club. The Polish striker has just scored his first goal in the Spanish league against Sociedad.
Xavi Hernandez will surely demand more from his team as they have immense quality at their disposal. However, it seems like the side are yet to find their feat in terms of tactics. That said, fans can rely on their former midfielder and current coach, who has proven that he is the right man for the job. Xavi took over a floundering Barca side last season and guided them to second in La Liga.
