Barcelona suffered a 2-1 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, with manager Hansi Flick admitting that his team was not at the same level as their opponents.
The Blaugrana took the lead through Ferran Torres, but PSG fought back with goals from Senny Mayulu and Goncalo Ramos to secure the win. It was only the second time in Champions League history that Barcelona conceded a 90th-minute winning goal, and the first away from home in any major European competition.
Despite dominating the first half, Flick acknowledged that Barcelona’s performance dropped in the second half, leading to their downfall. He emphasized the need for improvement and training to reach PSG’s level.
Barcelona’s scoring streak continued with Torres’ goal, marking their 45th consecutive match finding the back of the net. Marcus Rashford has been instrumental in this run, contributing to seven goals in his last seven games.
Flick, however, was not focused on records, expressing disappointment in the loss and stressing the importance of learning from mistakes. He praised PSG’s philosophy and young players, highlighting the need for improvement in Barcelona’s performance.
The defeat serves as a learning opportunity for Barcelona, with Flick planning to analyze the game and make necessary adjustments for future matches.
