After the game was completed, the head coach of “Blaugranas” Hans-Diter Flik commented on the performance of his own team.

“I warned the team that it is impossible to waste goal moments in such a game. I was disappointed with the result because I saw how we played after the missed two goals. We created a lot of opportunities. But in the last minutes we allowed the opponents too much.

We had a chance to win, so now we have to talk to the missing goals. We need to correct mistakes. The team is very young, there are many opportunities for improvement.

I am disappointed with the result but happy with how we played. But there can be no missed heads. The opponent was playing very well. We played against a good, strong team. We dominated for 80 minutes. I am satisfied. I think the fans were pleased. We did not throw a white towel and be able to win the opponents.

We have to work, we have a very young team. The rivals scored four goals, and that’s too much for us.

It was a bright cup game, which is why everyone likes these competitions. Athletic is a fantastic team. In the last few minutes we have not been well protected. I couldn’t believe we missed the fourth goal and we should talk about it with the team. It is important that the team is confident. We need to be positively tuned.

If you train at a high level, you show it in the match. If you train by 70%, you do not protect yourself 100%. The quality of workouts is very good. I am very happy with many things. I am satisfied by 95%, but four missed goals are too much, “said a German specialist.

The match between Madrid Athletic and Catalan Barcelona will take place on April 2.
