Barcelona's coach speaks frankly after defeat to PSG in the UEFA Champions League.
"Flick" acknowledges the situation! "Barcelona" deserved to lose to "PSG" in the UEFA Champions League.
Hansi Flick, coach of "Barca," stated that his team deserved to lose away to Paris Saint-Germain in the 2026-27 UEFA Champions League group stage last night, as the opponent truly played better. However, his players also learned a lot from this game.
Flick said, "I think it was a great match, but in the end, PSG showed they are the better team. We lost this game, but we learned a lot from it."
"They have great quality in transitioning from defense to attack. We tried to defend against them and did well, but in the last 15 minutes, we were not ready. This is not an excuse or the best preparation for this game, but now we have to analyze it. We must do better in the future, though today we did some things very well."
Additionally, Flick praised Xavi Esparza after his first Champions League goal but was unable to provide an update on Dani Olmo's injury.
"We will monitor Olmo's condition. He took a hit and felt uncomfortable afterward. We have to wait and see."
"Xavi Esparza played excellently. He scored a goal, and his level of play was truly incredible."
