""Well, I think that in the first half they started with a lot of intensity and when they scored that early goal it upset our plans," said Cubarsi. "From there it was very difficult for us to be protagonists in the game," he added."
""Well, the truth is that no [I don't understand it]. The only thing I know is that the break of almost 10 minutes cut off the good start of the second half that we had made!" "That goal would have allowed us to face the rest of the game with real possibilities of getting closer to the result," he added."
""We are a group that has already shown that we believe in comebacks and have carried them out." "We are going to try again with all our strength and with the support of our people who never fail us," he added."
Barcelona slipped to two straight defeats, losing 4-0 to Atletico Madrid in Riyadh and dropping three points to Girona, endangering Copa del Rey progression and losing the La Liga lead to Real Madrid. Defender Pau Cubarsi featured in both matches and described Atletico's early intensity and an early goal that upset Barcelona's plans, which made it difficult to dominate. He said a disallowed second-half goal after a near-10-minute VAR delay cut off a strong restart and reduced comeback chances. He asserted the dressing room remains optimistic, citing belief in comebacks and intent to fight on with fan support.
