FC Barcelona and Atlético Madrid competed in a remarkable cup meeting on Tuesday, the first leg semi-final of the Copa del Rey ending on the 4-4 score at the Olympic stadium Lluis Companys.

If it was an incredible match for the neutral public, it was incredibly frustrating for the Catalans coach Hansi Flick. According to Diario As, Flick addressed the media at his post-match press conference, and it was there that he deplored the defensive performance of his team. He admitted that it was necessary to work for things to improve.

“We have to work on this. We made a big match, but we conceded four goals and that's too much. Our attitude and our mentality were wonderful afterwards (being led 2-0), but we have to work on minor details.

Pedri greeted by Flick

“All teams try to find solutions and do different things. We are also strong in possession of the ball, but they have a fantastic team. We defended for 75 minutes, then we failed. The fourth goal we conceded seemed incredible to me, we will have to talk about it. But the most important thing is the way we play. And it is important for me to know that the team is confident, especially with their youth. It gives me confidence for the future. I am sad and frustrated compared to the last ten minutes because for a while we were at the highest level. I am happy with 95% of things, but not the other five. This is why we have to work. »»

Flick also spoke of Pedri, who delivered a new sensational performance against Atlético. He scored the first goal of Barcelona of the evening of a beautiful strike since the entrance to the surface, while his overall game was once again exemplary. “” It is indescribable. He likes to play football, and it shows in training and on the field. Yes, we see that he likes to play football. »»
