viagramof – German coach Hans Flick, Barcelona coach, spoke about the team’s defeat
Flick said in statements reported by: Catalan newspaper Sport“We could have scored the first goal, and then the game would have taken a different course.”
Barcelona coach continued: “We did not play the match at the speed we wanted in the first half, and we made a mistake and the opponent was able to score the first goal.”
He added: “Barcelona can play better, and we have 5 days to prepare for the Valencia match in the opening of the Spanish League.”
