At 3 AM on September 20, in the first round of the Champions League, Barcelona lost 1-2 as an away team against Monaco. After the match, Barcelona’s head coach Flick accepted an interview with the media.
Flick said, “The game had already changed after we had a player sent off. We worked hard throughout the match, trying to do our defense well. Although we made some mistakes, we tried to score goals. We missed some opportunities, but Monaco deserved the win. Although we lost, I told the players that they must become stronger and get ready for the weekend’s game. We must give it our all and fight for the team. We lost this game, but we will continue to fight.”
Regarding Monaco’s second goal, Flick replied, “They performed very well. This is normal because their speed is very fast, and we were defending all the time. The 2-1 scoreline is what they deserved.”
