The disappointment remains lively at FC Barcelona after elimination in the semi-finals of the Champions League last season. On May 6, when the Catalans led 3-2 in additional time on the lawn of Inter Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza, a reversal of the situation sealed their fate. The equalization of Francesco Acerbi followed by the goal in overtime of Davide Frattesi deprived Barça of a place in the final in Munich.
It was ultimately Inter Milan which faced Paris Saint-Germain during the continuation of the competition, to the chagrin of the Catalan supporters. This elimination continues to arouse debates, especially around a possible fault by Denzel Dumfries on Gerard Martinez, at the origin of the equalization of Acerbi. Questioned about this in an interview with Mundo DeportivoDani Olmo ended this controversy.
“A flight, why? If we had scored one more goal, nothing would have happened. These were two games, 90 and 120 minutes, very balanced to the end ”said the Barcelona attacking midfielder. He recognized that'”There may have been an offside, a minor fault, but in the end, it is not an excuse. We could have done better, we know, and that's what we keep for next season. »»
Small details deplored
For Dani Olmo, the Catalan club remains focused on its objectives, with the Champions League as an absolute priority.
“Yes, it's a dream, that's for sure. Last year, we could have reached the final, but because of small details, we did not succeed. This season, we have a new chance ”he said, displaying the determination of Barça to go further during this second edition of the new C1.
While the controversy over a possible “theft” seems to go out on the Barça side thanks to the position of Dani Olmo, the club now wants to focus fully on the coming season and aiming for a new European consecration. The Blaugrana stayed over a decade without raising the Cup to the big ears, since their success against Juventus in 2015 (3-1).
