April 14, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\u201cToday, it\u2019s also good to speak about how the players are doing. Every day we have to learn more, we have to be better and this is what we want to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know it\u2019s very disappointing for everyone but it\u2019s football, it\u2019s life and we have to come back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t care about when we win La Liga. I want to win La Liga. It doesn\u2019t matter what day we win La Liga. Now we can focus on La Liga. It\u2019s tough because everyone believed that we could make it happen but we have to accept it and we will come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flick named a starting XI with an average age of 24 years and 347 days, which is the youngest team fielded by Barca in a Champions League knockout game.<\/p>\n
They made a flying start, as Lamine Yamal scored the Blaugrana\u2019s quickest goal in a Champions League knockout game since 2018.<\/p>\n
Yamal\u2019s goal made him the youngest player in Champions League history to reach 20 goal involvements in the competition.<\/p>\n
Ferran Torres then dragged Barca level in the tie, but Ademola Lookman\u2019s strike restored Atletico\u2019s aggregate lead. <\/p>\n
Barca saw a goal disallowed early in the second half, before Eric Garcia\u2019s red card late on stemmed the Blaugrana\u2019s comeback hopes.<\/p>\n
Flick\u2019s side are the first Spanish team to go 15 Champions League games in a row without keeping a clean sheet, but Frenkie de Jong bemoaned bad luck.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played a very good match,\u201d De Jong told UEFA.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gave it our all. I have the feeling that luck wasn\u2019t on our side. I think we\u2019re growing and that we have a young, talented team that can compete for everything. We\u2019re going to keep going like this.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
