this Losing 1-0 to Inter in Giuseppe Meazza, Barça will return to Barcelona empty-handed. In the third week of the Champions League group stage. Blaugrana didn’t play well, but took the lead, canceling referee Pedri’s goal that should have been on the scoreboard and some hands Dumfries hadn’t pointed on the field.
“I’m angry and angry This is an injustice because of the situation we live in. Referees should talk and explain themselves, we don’t understand anything. It is true that we woke up late, our last 30 minutes have been good, we inflated them, but our dynamism is lacking. We didn’t take chances”, explains Xavi Hernández, in mixed territory, which denies it was the team’s worst game of the season.
Blaugrana coach was very strict about the referee and urged him to make statements after the matches as he did before the match. “The referee should speak, I don’t need to talk about a decision I didn’t make. It’s very clear to me. He didn’t want to explain to me and I’m left with the feeling of not understanding anything. We should have played a better game, at least we deserved a draw but this is the Champions League.”
“We lack rhythm and movement, especially in the second half, but we have to criticize ourselves. We deserved more, it already happened to us in Munich, but this is football. This is the Champions League and we have to play harder.” We missed that talent, this last good decision, we could have shot more from outside the area… it’s a shame”, Blaugrana coach admitted, “three finals left” and two of them will be in the finals. Camp Nou: to Inter next Wednesday and 26 October against Bayern.
Regarding the mood, Xavi admits that he is not worried about the team taking two consecutive Champions League defeats. “We must reinvent ourselves, we can no longer fail. We were not at the level required by the competition in the first section,” he said.
