Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was upset with refereeing decisions after his team’s 4-3 loss to Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-final. He said most 50/50 calls went Inter’s way.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Barcelona’s Champions League run ended heartbreakingly with a 4-3 loss to Inter Milan at San Siro. The game had extra time and many controversial moments. Flick said, “Every 50/50 decision that the ref had, he called it in Inter’s favor. This makes me sad.”
Key incidents included a debatable penalty for Inter after Pau Cubarsí fouled Lautaro Martinez and a penalty claim involving Lamine Yamal that was overturned. Referee Szymon Marciniak was criticized by Flick, Barcelona midfielder Pedri, and fans for making what they saw as biased decisions throughout the match.
BARCELONA’S SEASON SO FAR
The loss in Milan dashed Barcelona’s hopes of reaching the Champions League final. Despite the disappointment, Flick praised his players for their effort and pride, noting they fought hard and made several comebacks during the high-scoring game.
In LaLiga, Barcelona remain in good shape, with a four-point lead over Real Madrid and a few matches left. Flick has urged his team to refocus on the domestic campaign and finish the season well.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
With Champions League dreams over, Barcelona’s focus shifts to LaLiga. Their next match is against Real Betis, who are vying for European spots. Barcelona’s lead at the top is narrow, with Real Madrid close behind, making upcoming fixtures important for the title race.
Flick has vowed to improve both attack and defense, encouraging his team to learn from this defeat and aim for a stronger comeback next year.
