I am very proud of the players and very disappointed with the result. Atlético is a very experienced team and has taken advantage of its chances. It’s frustrating not being able to score today. It’s the frustration I have. Pedri has been incredible, so has Gavi. This is what we want for the future. We take it as an example.

The team will show that we can score more”said flickwho hopes that the Christmas break can help the team regain energy and good feelings.

“This match against Atlético was against a rival of our level. It was a fantastic match. The games against Leganés and Las Palmas are six points that we wasted, but today was a fantastic game. They defended well, but we had many opportunities. It should have been a different result. They have taken advantage of the three mistakes we have made. Maybe the Christmas break is good for us. I have told the team that I am delighted, but we have to play smarter. I have nothing to say about the quality with which we have played. That’s how we want to play, but in the end it’s football and the team that scores the most goals is the one that wins the game. Having lost nine points at home is not normal, we will have to work”he sentenced flickwho wanted to make it clear that they must react to right the course in LaLiga.
“We play games to win them, if you don’t want to win you better not play football. The six points lost against Leganés and Las Palmas do not worry me because they are the past. In the next home games we have to win them all, this is where we have to focus. Today we have seen the ability we have to play. After the break, which we all need, we will train and show how strong we are. Today we are all disappointed by the defeat”added the Barça coach.
