Hansi Flick: I know that everybody is disappointed now

FC Barcelona head coach Hansi-Dieter Flick reflected on his side’s heartbreaking exit from the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Inter Milan in a thrilling semi-final clash.

"I know that everybody is disappointed now. We invested a lot in this game; personally, I’m proud of my team, who gave everything. We will be back next season to try to win the UEFA Champions League. When you see the atmosphere of tonight's game, you want to come back. We have to accept the result. Inter's strikers are strong and experienced. We have a young team and we will improve. Our job is to make this team better and better. We can improve in defence, but also in attack. In the second half, we played better as a team compared to the first half. This is a tough defeat, but we have to stand up. This is a message I want to give to my players. I think my players deserved the final. When they will look at themselves in the mirror tonight, they can be really proud."
