In a thrilling Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played to a 4-4 draw, allowing Barcelona to show resilience after a shaky start. Despite leading 4-2 in the match, Hansi Flick expressed disappointment in his team's defensive lapses that allowed Atletico to equalize late in the game. Flick stressed that for a club of Barcelona's stature, conceding four goals is unacceptable. He acknowledged the young team's potential for improvement but emphasized the need to address these defensive mistakes before the crucial second leg.
We had chances to go to the second leg with an advantage. We will have to talk a lot in the changing room about the goals we conceded.
The team is very young, there is a lot of room for improvement, but that is no excuse. They scored four goals against us, and it's just too much for our standards.
