    Hansi Flick: “We lost 2-0, but we had many chances and we’re not going to give up. There was a penalty and I don’t understand why VAR didn’t intervene. It was a penalty and a second yellow, meaning a red card. We believe in ourselves and we still have chances.”

    Hansi Flick: “We lost 2-0, but we had many chances and we’re not going to give up. There was a penalty and I don’t understand why VAR didn’t intervene. It was a penalty and a second yellow, meaning a red card. We believe in ourselves and we still have chances.”


    🎙️Hansi Flick on substituting Pedri.

    🗣️: “Pedri had some discomfort, so we decided to take him off, and Gavi did very well.”

    🎙️Hansi Flick on the VAR.

    🗣️: “So many fouls. I don’t want to talk more about the referees. From my perspective, VAR should have intervened. I’m sure they have some explanation, but I thought it was better not to speak to the referee.”

    🎙️Hansi Flick on Lamine’s performance.

    🗣️: “Lamine had an incredible match. Today, Lamine and all of us are disappointed. He played a fantastic game, both in attack and defense. He’s 18 years old, and we have to support him.”

    🎙️Hansi Flick on Lamine always getting fouled.

    🗣️: “Referees need to protect Lamine more. These are the players who need protection, like Vinícius, Mbappé, or Pedri; there are too many actions against them. Today, Lamine made incredible plays, beating four or five players.”

    Hansi Flick: “Our job is to go to Madrid and fight to turn this situation around. We have players who can make the difference. Even with one less, we continued to create chances."

    Flick: “I think Gavi put in a fantastic performance in the second half, just like Dani Olmo. I think everyone tried to give their all, and even though we were down to ten men, we dominated the ball a lot, and we also created a few scoring chances.”

    Flick: "VAR was very focused on Atlético de Madrid tonight. I don't know what's happening when Pubill takes the ball with his hand, it's such a clear penalty and second yellow. They won't be able to explain why they didn't call it, and we have to accept it."

      That’s the mentality. It is a two legged tie. We were at a disadvantage today due to unfortunate circumstances but we have beaten Atletico before at the Metropolitano. We need to be perfect next Tuesday and I believe we will

      Its going to be tough but we need to believe in our team to win this.

      I was questioning the gavi sub, but it makes sense to protect pedri and gavi did great. Put in some fight!

      The red card shouldn’t have been called. Even on ESPN some say there was no real contact and atletico player wasn’t in control of the ball. It would have been a different story 11vs11

      I don’t have high hopes tbh, if Rapha was gonna be back sure. But without him we are partially cooked. No believing in the team won’t make us magically win, sometimes we have to be realistic.

      You cant look at that game and say we dont have a chance be fr,we played out hearts out with a man down.We go again

      A comeback at the metropolitano is a tough ask let’s see if the guys are up for it

    12. eggplantpot on

      Anyone got the replay of that stupid hand in the area? I was preparing dinner I only heard they mentioned it but there was never a replay

      Schedule is too tight. Players are not machines. Playing 2 games each week sucks. Sooner or later the heavyweight players will be pushed to the edge of injury.

      How Koke didn’t get a second yellow while kicking Yamal twice on the leg from behind?

      The game was tight and the referee decisions didn’t go our way.

      Let’s put the AC at Metropolitano.

      Say what you will but I’m still proud of the team’s attitude in the second half. Ik many of you believe that we should have just parked the bus but I’m proud that we played with courage and took the game to athleti even with 10 men. Sure we conceded another goal but we’re barca, if anyone can overcome the deficit it’s us. We’re the best attacking team in Europe when we’re at our best.

      Rashford doesn’t give me hope at all. He is just not him. Kinda like a ferran situation.

      many chances .. sir it was ALL QUANTITY NO QUALITY.

      FUCKING 1.2 XG IN 18 SHOTS

      I really like Hansi’s answers and I agree in the refereeing being one sided. But I was expecting a bit more of self criticism.

      Guys it is unacceptable to repeat the same mistakes as we have for the last champions. Barça has a terrible problem with mentality, why is Araujo fouling and risking a red card at the start of the match?

      Now this time. Why is Cubarsi risking a red card when it is not necessary? Is it 90th minute? Go on, a red card is preferred. But 40th minute of a first leg? Why bro? And even more when the ref has taken some doubtable decisions. Hansi needs to address this problem. The players NEED to know how to respond and adapt to what the match requires.

      Without Cubarsi, We have to be strong and consistent! r/Barca

      WE ARE CULERS!
