""The first half we played much better than the second," Flick said. "We conceded too much because we were tired. The truth is that PSG are a great team, they have very young and very fast players and they played a fantastic game. "We didn't play at our best level and against an opponent like that when it's necessary. They deserved the victory.""
""Of course we are disappointed. When you defend at 1-1, you have to play more intelligently at the end of the game and this has not happened. In transition, they have marked us. We have to be more structured and cover all spaces. "You have to hold out for 90 minutes, the whole team has to defend, attack, be at a high level with the ball, take advantage of spaces, participate in possession. "At PSG you saw that everyone knows how to take advantage of spaces, they want the ball. These are things to learn and improve.""
Barcelona took the lead through Ferran Torres in the 19th minute after Lamine Yamal returned to the starting line-up. PSG, missing several players through injury, equalised seven minutes before half-time via 19-year-old Senny Mayulu following strong work from Nuno Mendes. Achraf Hakimi created space on the right for substitute Goncalo Ramos to score a 90th-minute winner as Barcelona's high defensive line was exposed. Manager Hansi Flick cited fatigue, poor late-game decision-making, and inadequate defensive structure, and called for better 90-minute concentration, collective defending, and smarter use of possession to exploit spaces.
