"The result doesn't reflect our performance. We created many chances. In the end, there are days when you put in a lot of energy but you're unlucky. I appreciate what we saw. It's true we could have defended better on a couple of occasions, but I like what I saw because we played well."
"Playing like this, you will win most matches."
"Barcelona's last defeat came against Chelsea and saw Flick promise fans they'd see a better Barca from then on. He wasn't wrong either, as the Catalans then went on an 11-game winning streak. Flick will be hoping for something similar again after Sunday night's disappointment."
Barcelona's 11-game winning run ended with a 2-1 loss at Real Sociedad in La Liga. Three Barcelona goals were ruled out, a penalty was initially awarded then rescinded, and the team hit the woodwork four times. Frenkie de Jong and manager Hansi Flick criticized referee Gil Manzano, and the offside decision on Lamine Yamal's goal drew scrutiny. Flick convened his players after the match and urged optimism, telling them that playing as they did would win most matches. Flick emphasized that the performance created many chances despite defensive lapses and blamed some bad luck for the result.
