The 0-2 defeat at the "Camp Nou" was undoubtedly not well received by coach Hansi Flick, not only for the result that the first act produced, but also some very controversial episodes, the lack of a red card for Pubill, a penalty not given in the Barça goal and many other episodes. After the match, Hansi Flick was not at all calm, where after making a detailed moviola for these episodes, he admitted that this was not their evening:

"We were unlucky, it wasn't our night. The red card and then Atletico's goal, but still, I'm proud of my team. Even in the second half, even with one less player, we did well," Flick said.

Despite his team suffering a 2-0 home defeat, the German coach is confident about the return leg: "We know it will be difficult, we have to stay calm and positive. We have quality players to turn the game around. Our objective is to reach the final, the road is long and difficult, but we will do everything to achieve it", emphasized Hansi Flick at the press conference.

Unlike Flick, Diego Simeone did not prefer to make jokes, but did not dwell on another very significant detail, the fact that this was Atletico Madrid's first victory in Barcelona in 20 years:

"Sooner or later something like this would come, it's been a long time since Atletico won here. Barcelona have a very strong team, I always think about players like Yamal. However, this victory means nothing. We know how difficult the return leg will be. There is no time to relax, we have to stay focused until the end", Diego Simeone said.
