Barcelona suffered their first defeat in the current Champions League draw

Barcelona needed a point against Shakhtar Donetsk to progress to the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League, but the Spanish champions inexplicably lost to the Ukrainians.

Danilo Sikan scored the only goal in the game, which took place in Hamburg, and “Barcelona” tried to get back into the match for more than one half, but without success.

At the end of the match, Javi Hernandez did not mince words and criticized the game of his team.

“We are in a very bad moment. We don’t play well, we don’t know what to do when we have the ball, we don’t know how to attack. This is one of the worst matches in recent years. I haven’t achieved anything. We are in a bad time, we have to accept it.

It’s a shame, but we have to move on. We depend only on ourselves. We have the next match at home against Porto, after which we can mathematically qualify. It’s a mental thing, we’re stuck.

We concede too many goals. I think the players should not lose confidence. He needs to recover. We must return to the dynamism that existed until recently. We need to admit that we are in a hole and recover.

I don’t think about the break, I only think about how to restore my players, how to make them enjoy football again. It’s good that nothing was lost.” – said the coach of Barcelona, ​​reports MARCA.
