Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was clearly frustrated after his side’s 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. Although Barcelona advanced to the semifinals with a 5-3 aggregate win, Flick was unhappy with how the team performed—especially in defense.
Errors from players like Wojciech Szczęsny, who gave away a penalty, and Ronald Araújo, who struggled at the back, seemed to particularly irritate the coach. Flick showed visible anger on the touchline, marking what may have been his most disappointing first half in charge.
While he didn’t call out any individual players after the match, his body language told the story. He made it clear that the team needs to tighten up defensively ahead of the semifinals, where they’ll face either Inter Milan or Bayern Munich.
