Today, we really didn’t play a good match. I understand the questions about that, but I still think we have to be satisfied. The mood in the locker room after the match wasn’t good. Only when I told the guys we had reached the Champions League semifinals did things start to improve. But it’s clear that the players always expect the most from themselves. They want to win every match. They’re disappointed, but the feeling of satisfaction from reaching the semifinals will make up for it,” Flick said. He is convinced that Barcelona deserves their place in the semifinals.The man who transformed Barcelona”We won the first leg at home 4–0, but here we lost 1–3. Still, we deserved to reach the semifinals, so I told them, ‘Guys, don’t complain.’ Dortmund made it difficult, the atmosphere was great, but in the end, we advanced to the next stage. After playing so many matches, this kind of dip in form is normal. But I’m satisfied with the team this season. We’re in the running for three trophies, and we can win all three.”🎙️ HANSI FLICK: “We are in the semifinal. I think for the Club, but also for the team, for the fans, it’s unbelievable…In the first year, in the semifinal, it means we are one of the best teams in Europe, and this is great.” @ChampionsLeague pic.twitter.com/DIHnUflgyR— FC Barcelona (@FCBarcelona) April 15, 2025 Barcelona is now waiting for the outcome of the Inter vs. Bayern tie to find out who they will face in the Champions League semifinals.
