FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has explained the reasons behind his side’s 2–1 defeat to Girona FC in Monday’s La Liga clash.
Barcelona fell short despite a goal from Pau Cubarsí, as the hosts secured victory at home.
Speaking after the match, Flick admitted that his team underperformed and struggled defensively, particularly during transitions.
“We defended very poorly, especially in transition. We were not properly positioned and found it difficult to cope with Girona’s attacks,” he said.
The German tactician added that his side lacked control and made too many mistakes, even though they created better chances in the first half.
“We needed greater control and fewer errors. In the first half, we had more opportunities, but we must show the hunger required to win these games,” Flick stated.
He stressed that he would not offer excuses for the loss, insisting that the team must improve its overall performance.
The result leaves Barcelona two points behind league leaders Real Madrid CF in the standings.
