"We are disappointed, but we can be very proud about the performance we showed. It was an amazing game from us and we created a lot of chances to score even more goals. In the end it didn't happen and we have to accept it."
"Normally this level is the benchmark, but we have to show it in every game. It's not a given, it's hard work."
"Marc played an unbelievable game today. This is the mental [strength shown by the player in his recovery from injury and performance on the pitch]."
Barcelona defeated Atlético Madrid 3-0 at home in the Copa del Rey semi-final second leg, with Marc Bernal scoring twice and Raphinha adding a penalty. However, the victory was insufficient to overcome Atlético's 4-0 first-leg advantage, resulting in a 4-3 aggregate elimination. Barcelona created numerous chances throughout the match, registering 13 shots in the first half alone, but failed to score the fourth goal needed for extra-time. Manager Hansi Flick expressed disappointment while praising the team's performance and intensity. Bernal delivered an outstanding display, continuing his recovery from an ACL injury with four goals in his last five appearances.
