"The competitor deservedly won." Hans-Dieter Flick

Hans-Dieter Flick commented on the first defeat as the head coach of "Barcelona."

"The match changed utterly (after the dismissal). We tried constantly, defended passionately, and made some mistakes, but we tried to score. We had moments, but the opponent deservedly won.

We lost. I told the players we must return stronger and recover before Sunday's game. We have to invest all our strength and fight for the team. We lost this game, but we will continue to fight.

"Monaco" played very well (in the episode of the second goal). It's natural; there are a lot of fast footballers out there.
We tried to succeed in defense, but the score became 1:2, and "Monaco" deserved it," said the head coach of "Barcelona."

It should be noted that "Barcelona" lost 2-1 to "Monaco" in the first match of the CL.
