Antoine Griezmann He was very critical of the team after the result against Juventus. The forward did not beat around the bush or look for excuses. «We have not been in the party. We have lacked everything, desire and attitude. We have done everything wrong, attacking, defending, everything. Bad day, bad game and little else. If the fault is of the players? Whose fault is it if we are the ones playing? You have to want to play, train and give everything, “said the Frenchman, who missed a very clear chance. «You don’t have to look for excuses. The only way to get out of here is to put everything aside and work. We have a game on Sunday and we have to win it, if it doesn’t get complicated for us much more. Today we have given a very ugly image ». Griezmann assured that despite the blow “it gives us to fight.” «We have the level to give us, we have the talent. We know how to work, we know how to run and we have to do it in the game. We cannot stand like in the first part», He assured. The Frenchman concluded: “It is a stick, quite hard but it comes in handy to put things in their place, wake up and make it clear that we have to give everything.”
Marc André Ter Stegen He was the first to show his face after the defeat. The German coldly analyzed the game and recognized the shortcomings of Barcelona. «A 0-3 leaves room for improvement, obviously, but at times we were not very prepared, we made some mistakes that cannot happen and they have a quality that makes you a goal out of nowhere “, the goalkeeper began by explaining, lamenting the team’s defensive fragility:” One thing is individual errors and another thing is how you defend. You have to value it differently. We are not lucky enough that nothing happens to us. Anytime, when we get lost they score us a goal and this is very hard. We have to get out of there and we have to do our homework. We have to give more from the beginning, come out stronger and we have to improve that ”.
Stegen did not want to burden the team and recalled that “up to here, in the Champions League, we have played very good games and we have won some that were difficult but today we did lose a game when we had the illusion of qualifying first. We are going to focus on what we have to do and improve. And he concluded: «In the second part we have done better than in the first. You have to focus on the League, which is the most important thing, get the maximum possible points. We are not where we want to be.
Ronald Koeman made a more distant analysis of the party. «Much of our defeat has come in the first 30 minutes. We have entered with fear, without aggressiveness, not to lose, instead of doing it to control it. We have not been in control and we have not been well in our positions. We lost the game in the first half hour», He explained. The Dutchman hinted that he had no responsibility for the defeat: “As a coach I always try to prepare the game and the players on how they have to come out. You have to get together but for this you have to win battles and duels. We have left enough spaces between the lines and you can argue a lot about penalties». In this sense, he assured that “the first is not a penalty but if it is whistled, the action on Messi is also a penalty.” And he wanted to end with a message of slight optimism: «I think that it does give us to compete in the Champions League. We have played two games against Juve. But today they have come out more convinced than us».
