Despite being just one step away from the Champions League final, Barcelona lost 3-4 to Inter Milan in the second leg of the semi-final away and was eliminated on aggregate. Coach Hansi Flick said he was proud of the team.
At the press conference after the game, Flick said: "I am proud of my team. They have tried their best and performed very well. Although the result is disappointing, it is not because of the players' performance, but because we couldn't go further."
"We are out, but we will come back next year and we will make the fans and the club proud. We are a young team and we need time to mature. We still have room for improvement in defense and other aspects, but I believe this team will get better and better."
This Barcelona team showed more fighting spirit and cohesion under Flick's leadership this season, but due to insufficient details at critical moments, they eventually missed the final. Despite the elimination, Flick did not complain.
Flick congratulated his opponents: "Inter Milan is an excellent team with tacit cooperation, excellent defense and efficient forward line. I wish them good luck in Munich."
Barcelona cannot advance to the Champions League final, and can only look forward to the next schedule. Currently, Barcelona has 79 points in the La Liga, ranking first, 4 points ahead of Real Madrid, which is in second place. Barcelona's next league game will be on May 11, at home against Real Madrid.
When talking about the La Liga match against Real Madrid, Flick said: "This game is over, now we have to cheer up, because there are more important games waiting for us. I will reawaken the fighting spirit of this team."
