WHAT HAPPENED?
Barcelona’s Champions League campaign ended in heartbreak after a thrilling two-legged semi-final against Inter Milan. Despite fighting back hard, Barcelona fell short, losing 4-3 on the night. The aggregate ended 7-6 in Inter’s favor. After the match, Flick admitted that some of his comments focused on the referee’s decisions. However, he quickly wished Inter well for the final, saying, “They did a great job. I wish them the best in the final.” Flick’s words showed the high tension and sportsmanship after a fiercely contested tie.
BARCELONA’S SEASON SO FAR
While the Champions League dream is over, Barcelona’s season under Flick is still impressive. The team has already won the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey. With only a few La Liga games left, Barcelona lead the table by four points over rivals Real Madrid, whom they face next. A strong finish could secure a domestic treble in Flick’s debut year, marking a remarkable achievement despite the European setback.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR BOTH CLUBS?
Inter now prepare for the Champions League final, aiming to become European champions. Barcelona, meanwhile, shift focus to La Liga, with a big test against Real Madrid this weekend. A win would put them in a commanding position in the title race. Should Barcelona secure the league, they would complete a domestic treble, a testament to Flick’s impact in his first season despite Champions League frustration. Inter’s next league match sees them secure second in Serie A, and their attention will be fully on continental glory.
