Flick reacts to Barcelona's loss
The German turned up at the post-match conference in his usual ‘no-nonsense’ look and admitted that the performance was far from being their best match.
“This was not our best match,” he said, as quoted by Managing Barca. “The opponent was very good, the atmosphere was tremendous. It's not easy to play games like this, but we've qualified”
Jules Kounde, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo all agree with their manager that they put up a disappointing performance.
Barcelona are through to the semi-final for the first time since 2019, and the German manager admitted it is fantastic for the club to reach that level again.
“The Champions League is the best competition in the world. Reaching the semi-finals is fantastic for the club,” he said.
Their semifinal opponent will be decided tomorrow after the encounter between Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, with the Italians having the advantage after winning 2-1 at the Allianz Arena.
“I don't have a preference for Bayern - Inter. I'll watch the match at home, and I'll enjoy the show,” he said.
