The Barcelona players were angry after the disappointing weekend 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo, a report said.
Real Madrid climbed to the top of the league via Barca on Sunday evening, increasing pressure on the Barcelona coach Quique Setien.
Spanish paper brand Some stars in Barcelona were dissatisfied with a number of decisions in the Celta game, including the introduction of Antoine Griezmann and Arthur Melo in the second half.
The newspaper claims that Setien “lost confidence in the locker room” when the team relinquished leadership to Real in the title race.
And then Luis Suarez made his feelings clear.
“It [the result] leaves a bitter taste that is characterized by sadness and frustration because we lost two points, ”said the Uruguayan.
“It is up to the coaches to analyze this,” when asked why the team’s away form is so bad.
“We are there to do our best on the pitch.
“When we’re not at home, we drop important points that we normally wouldn’t have lost in other seasons.”
The report claims Setien’s future is uncertain and only winning the Champions League will save him.
The 61-year-old didn’t arrive until January, but two draws since the league restarted resulted in Barca handing the initiative over to Real and Setien feeling the heat.
Setien said: “We shouldn’t have gotten into this situation because we were the better team in the first half.
“We had to go in with a more comfortable goal line during the break. In my opinion [football is unfair].
“We are not in this moment of clarity. For example, it seems incredible that Gerard [Pique]’s [header] didn’t go inside.
“Barcelona did a lot of things well. It must have been a more comfortable game. We definitely lack the conviction to turn our game into goals.
“The superiority we had in the first half was enough to win the game and go into the game [the second half] with more relaxation.
“We find it difficult. The goal is sometimes a matter of luck. “
Xavi is happy about Barcelona
What is earlier Barca midfielder Xavi has admitted that he has no doubt that he will end up training Barcelona.
