Hansi Flick wants Barcelona to be smarter after the defeat against PSG Undermerned

The boss of Barcelona, ​​Hansi Flick, called on his team to show more intelligence at the end of the matches after falling to a 2-1 defeat against a Paris Saint-Germain, struck by injuries in the Champions League.

The Blaugrana welcomed Lamine Yamal in the departure formation for the visit of the Champions League holders at the Olympic stadium, and the feeling of the teenagers was involved while Barça took the lead thanks to the effort of the 19th minute of Ferran Torres.

Barça looked like big favorites at that time to defeat a team from PSG missing PSG, Ousmane Dembele, Désir Doue, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Joao Neves, who suffered an injury in the warm-up.

But Senny Mayulu, 19, leveled things seven minutes before half-time after an excellent job of the Nuno Mendes instrumental, and the PSG finished the 90th minute reversal.

The High Line of Barça was caught up while Achraf Hakimi found space on the right to meet the replacement Goncalo Ramos to shoot the winner at home, leaving Fllick frustrated by the management of his team’s game.

Barcelona deserved to lose – Flick

“The first half, we played much better than the second,” said Flick.

“We conceded too much because we were tired. The truth is that PSG is a big team, they have very young and very fast players and they played a fantastic game.

“We did not play at our best level and against an opponent like this when necessary. They deserved 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 it did not happen. In transition, they marked us. We must be more structured and cover all spaces.

“You have to keep for 90 minutes, the whole team must defend, attack, be at a high level with the ball, enjoy the spaces, participate in possession.

“At PSG, you saw that everyone knows how to enjoy the spaces, they want the ball. These are things to learn and improve. ”

Fatigue A factor for Barcelona

Barça was faced with their own injury problems, Gavi, Joan Garcia, Fermin Lopez and Raphinha all unavailable.

And Flick conceded that fatigue played a role in the fall of Barça.

“I think that in the second half, you could see that some players were very tired, such as Pedri and Frenkie (by Jong),” he said.

“But they all done the best on the ground. Pedri and Frenkie have played a lot of minutes. It is important that they are fresh but the important thing is the team.”
