"What a terrible night. We were coming off a good game against Athletic. We started the game well and had a couple of really good chances. We tried to hold on a bit in the second half, but 2-0 is a killer,"
"I think they were pressing us. We didn't adjust properly. We tried to jump with the full-backs and it was impossible. We had to run after the ball the whole time."
"The matches we've played are familiar. We need to be more competitive in these types of matches. The duels, second balls... if you don't make yourself strong, it's impossible to win."
Barcelona lost 3-0 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with a Jules Kounde own goal and strikes from Estevao and Liam Delap deciding the match.
