According to Diario AS, coach Hansi Flick commented on this disappointing evening for his team.
“We started very well and we had a great opportunity to open the score. Then the red card changed the situation. Coming back to score against this ten-man Chelsea team is not easy. We must accept this defeat.
“We started very well”
“Playing ten was very difficult. And Chelsea are a very successful team with the ball. I think we have to stay positive. For example, Raphinha is back, Rashford performed well. We have no choice but to be positive. »
Flick also reacted to Ronald Araujo’s first-half sending off, which made things difficult for Barcelona in west London.
“The first yellow card, I don’t know what happened. I need to talk to him and watch the video again. He shouldn’t have intervened like that for the second foul; “It wasn’t the right move, but it happens in football.”
Flick is optimistic about the future
Despite an extremely difficult and disappointing evening for Barcelona, Flick chose to be optimistic. He is confident that his team will significantly improve their performance in the coming weeks, starting with the upcoming match against Alavés at the Camp Nou on Saturday.
“You will soon see another Barcelona in the next matches, I promise you. I see how we train, our intensity… things are different from six weeks ago. »
