"I feel a little sad. We were having a good game, competing on equal terms, and our mistakes cost us dearly in areas where we couldn't afford to make them. The caliber of the players we faced wasn't going to forgive us. Unfortunately, it ended up costing us the game," he added."
"We were solid. Unfortunately, we made individual errors in dangerous areas and they didn't forgive us. In the first half, I don't recall Barcelona having any chances, and after the goals, I only remember one or two more because we took more risks."
"The first half was very evenly matched. It's not easy to control Barcelona like we did. In our next home game, we have to try to get a win that will give us a boost, whether we play well, averagely, or poorly. It's extremely important for us."
The team competed well and controlled the first half, keeping Barcelona largely without chances and producing an evenly matched performance. Individual errors in dangerous areas were decisive, as the opponent's high-quality players punished those mistakes and shifted the result. After conceding goals the team took more risks, creating one or two further chances for the opponent. The outcome caused disappointment due to costly lapses. The team prioritises winning the next home game to regain confidence and momentum, viewing that result as extremely important regardless of whether the performance is strong, average, or poor.
