Barcelona has to win in Milan if they have to reach the final of the Champions League, after a 3-3 draw against Inter near Montjuic. The Blaugrana did well to come from behind twice, but there was a feeling of a missed opportunity for Catalan giants who created enough but could not keep the back door. There were mixed reviews of the Barcelona stars after the competition.
The Brazilian attacker Raphinha was again crucial for the Blaugrana in Europe, forced its own goal and offered an assist, but was not happy after the game.
“We have again admitted many goals at home and it is unacceptable, but we also have to give the honor to Inter, because we know that they are very strong of set pieces,” he told Movistar+, as quoted by Sport.
“The most important thing is that we have a result where everything can happen there, and we will prepare much better this week.”
Lamine Yamal received a lot of praise after the game, but wore a sour bake after the game, and felt that his side deserved the victory.
“I am grateful for the praise. It's good that they appreciate my work, but I only think of football and rest because we all give it in Milan. We were superior despite the draw, and we only think about winning,” he said MD.
Before the game, Lamine Yamal was a late doubt and felt a muscle problem in global warming.
“I noticed something strange with a shot during warming and went to the dressing room, but I was able to play the game well. I always try to give everything for the team, my very best. It wasn't quite about planning. I wanted to win, but in the second stage we all give at the end.
Defender Pau Cubarsi was slightly happier than the duo in front.
“We didn't come out as we should have. We were two goals down, but the mentality of the team enabled us to make it right and then we admitted a different goal, so we have to improve some aspects,” he told the same outlet. We go to their stadium with a 0-0 draw and win. “
It was a memorable night for the 18-year-old.
“I never thought that at my age I would play with the club of my life in a semi -final of the Champions League, but I use it very well. My family helps me with everything, and the fans who also stand behind us.”
“They came very little with us, we have to improve in some details, but we don't have to be negative either.”
“I would tell the cules to believe in us that we will achieve it,” Ferran Torres remarked again after the game, a little more positive.
“We came to sleep, but we turned the situation, which was very difficult, and we have to learn from those mistakes. In the end, a semi -final of the Champions League can be decided by set pieces. Let's not let that happen to their house because they are very good.”
“He was very motivated today and he is very decisive,” Torres noted on Lamine Yamal and was cheerful again when he entered the mix zone.
“We have to win somehow in Milan. We are the most optimistic of everyone and we think we will get there. We will fight to the end. It will be a tough match, but we will give everything, and I think we'll get there.”
One of the most important problems that Barcelona will be confronted in the second stage is the absence of Jules Kounde. The Frenchman approached the end of the first half and will be released for several weeks. Eric Garcia, who replaced Kounde and did relatively well, will be the most likely replacement for Kounde, although Ronald Araujo and Hector Fort can also be options.
