Barcelona coach: We deserved to go to the semi-finals of the Champions League

Barcelona is the first team in the Champions League that is on 15 conceded at least one goal in consecutive games. Defense is Hansi Flick’s biggest problem this season. The attack manages to do its job, but the defense “leaks” too much. Coach Hansi Flick gave his review of the game.

The German believes that his players did their best and is satisfied with their efforts.

– Soccer is like that sometimes. We need to be better. At the end of the day, in terms of mentality and behavior, my team did its best. This is what we want to see. We were great, but in the end we didn’t manage to pass. I really appreciate what I saw in today’s game. Luck was definitely not on our side, that was the case. We have to accept it.

He believes that at one point they could have gone 3-0 and that they deserve the Champions League trophy.

– We had a lot of opportunities, especially in the first half. We could have gone 3:0, but in the end we conceded that one goal and we are frustrated because of that. We deserved to go further, but luck was definitely not on our side.

However, he is extremely frustrated at being eliminated from the competition.

– Of course we are frustrated, everyone is frustrated. I think you are also frustrated. The fans are also frustrated. My professional staff is frustrated. This is natural because winning the Champions League is a big deal for everyone.

The focus for the rest of the season will be on La Liga, where the Catalans have nine points more than Real Madrid seven rounds before the end of the championship.

– Now our focus is on La Liga. It will be difficult because I believe that everyone believed in today’s passage, but things turned out differently.
