"Everyone thought Barça would easily knock out Atlético. They get into trouble and almost always end up the same way. You realize that yes, they take risks playing with a very high defensive line, but every time there's an attack from the opposition, they're late, and every delay costs them dearly and ends with a red card."
"I think that over two legs, if they were eleven against eleven, it wouldn't necessarily be a contest and Barça would have won both matches. I'm a little disappointed about that."
Samuel Umtiti expressed disappointment regarding Barcelona's Champions League quarter-final exit against Atletico Madrid. He noted that Barcelona's high defensive line often leads to problems, resulting in delays during opposition attacks. Umtiti highlighted that red cards significantly impacted the matches, suggesting that if Barcelona had played with eleven players, they would have likely won. He emphasized that the team's defensive vulnerabilities were evident and contributed to their overall failure in the tie.
