Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets criticized his team's tactical and physical frailties after the Catalans crashed to a 4-0 Champions League last-16 thrashing at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday.
The humiliating loss left the five-time European champion on the brink of its earliest exit from the competition in a decade.
Barca was crushed in every aspect of the first-leg clash as an Angel Di Maria brace and goals from Julian Draxler and Edinson Cavani inflicted its heaviest European loss since 2013 and under coach Luis Enrique, who seemed rattled as he faced the media at a jubilant Parc des Princes afterward.
