“We gave it our all against a great team, I can’t fault my players for anything. We created chances in the first half, both clear opportunities and dangerous plays in the penalty area,” he told reporters.

“Jordan Larsson could have made it 2-0 before halftime. In the second half, Barça was a team capable of playing at a very high tempo. This Barça team is only comparable to Pep Guardiola’s teams.

“If we compare it to the Barça of 2010, the current team also doesn’t make mistakes with the ball. It’s a top-level team with very good technical players.”
