""I'm not in the VAR room, but the image they show for the offside... We have to keep going, there's no other option.""
""We know how it is. Flick emphasises it a lot, and we know that even though the decisions aren't in our favour, we have to stick to our game. And even so, we played well, with enough chances to win the match.""
""It's true that in the second half there was a moment when they pressed harder, but overall we were good: we had many chances, but we only conceded two crosses into the box, and that's something we need to improve both offensively and defensively.""
""A match you should win easily and comfortably ends up losing, but that's football. We just have to keep going. The team played well, and we dominated.""
FC Barcelona lost to Real Sociedad with three goals disallowed and several calls going against the team. Eric Garcia questioned the VAR offside image shown for Lamine Yamal's disallowed goal and expressed frustration about the officiating. Captain Frenkie de Jong and manager Hansi Flick criticised referee Jesus Gil Manzano. Flick repeatedly stresses maintaining focus regardless of refereeing decisions. Barcelona dominated the match, created enough chances to win, but conceded two goals from crosses and failed to convert opportunities. The squad must improve both offensively and defensively ahead of the upcoming Champions League match against Slavia Prague.
