Hansi Flick accepted the second defeat in the League with resignation and “without excuses”. “Today was not our day. We don’t create the chances we usually create. We have to accept this result, they have played with determination. It is clear what we have seen,” admitted the German coach, who justified the setback in the lack of offensive success.
“We haven’t created enough chances. We started well with the ball, I was happy but then we started to suffer. The goal arrived and in the last third of the field we made bad decisions. We have given our best to obtain a better result but it was not our day.”
I told the referee that Lewandowski’s offside was a wrong decision. That’s all I can say.”
Regarding the disallowed goal against Lewandowski, which would have meant the Blaugrana’s tie, Flick shrugged his shoulders, not wanting to elaborate on the comments he made to the referee, Cuadra Fernández. “I told him that it was a wrong decision (Lewandowski’s offside). That’s all I can say. If the goal had been valid, the game would have turned out very differently for us,” he avoided controversy.
Regarding the absence of Lamine Yamal, Flick was uncertain, not knowing the extent of the youth squad’s discomfort. “Any team would miss Lamine. It’s normal. I’m not sure if Lamine will return after the international break. I hope that today we can learn a little more about his physical condition, but we still don’t have anything clear. As soon as we know, we will let you know.”
The coach was in favor of asking the Spanish team that Lamine Yamal not be called up. “The Federation will surely make the right decision.”
We haven’t been successful, but I think it will be a matter of one day.”
Pedri attributed the defeat in Anoeta to the Blaugrana team’s few chances in “a field that is complicated, where Real pushes a lot.” “We have had them and we have to make those chances. You have to learn from your mistakes and continue,” commented the Canary Islander.
“Real Sociedad is a team that presses very well, they don’t let you leave. It took us a lot to start the play. In the second part we did not have clarity. We have to analyze it and continue working after the break. “We are fine and we are still in first place,” the midfielder added.
“Today we were not successful and I think it will be a one-day thing; In the following games we will be more successful. The team is working well and it is nothing that worries us,” reassured the Canary Islands Barça player.
“There is a possible error. If there is such a serious error, let’s hope that LaLiga acts. If it was a mistake, let it be demonstrated, investigate and act.”
For Marc Casadó, the key has been that “Real Sociedad has presented high pressure” that made it difficult for them to create the game and create opportunities.
