Hansi Flick frustrated by Barcelona defensive performance against Atletico Madrid

Barcelona and Atletico Madrid played out a thrilling 4-4 draw in their Copa del Rey semi-final first leg, but Hansi Flick was frustrated with his team’s defensive lapses.

Despite a strong comeback from 2-0 down, he admitted conceding four goals was "too many" and highlighted the need to refine "minor details."

Flick was particularly frustrated with the fourth goal, calling it "incredible" and something they must address.

However, he praised his young squad’s confidence and resilience, stating he was "happy with 95% of things, but not with the other five."

He also lauded Pedri’s performance, saying, "He cannot be described. He enjoys playing football." Barcelona must improve defensively ahead of the second leg to secure a place in the final.
