The FC Barcelona players all expressed their disappointment to go out of the Champions League against Liverpool, but there is no time mourn because now they have to focus on the important match on Saturday against arch rivals Real Madrid in "El Classico". The Blaugrana will no fully focus on the Spanish Championship and the Spanish Cup.


Here are a selection of comments just after the liverpool match:


Xavi

We did everything we could and it was a shame. But there are still two titles left. But anyway, I think the team tried to do its best. We approached the game in the best possible way. It is not fair that we have gone out because Barça played much better football




Ronaldinho

We need to lift our heads because there is no time for feeling down, we have an important game coming up. The players are sad but we can't afford to stay like this for much longer. Now we can't afford to make any mistakes in the league. To stay at the top we have to be on form every week. Every team has its way of playing, we won but it was not enough. We have to keep on working because there is no time for feeling sad.




Andrés Iniesta

In the first half they were very well organised. We had the game controlled but we couldn't get through. But that all changed in the second half. We knew they were going to have a lot of chances, because they can be very dangerous at home. We need to lift our heads, there is an important game on Saturday. We are upset, it is hard to accept that you are out of the Champions League.




Deco

They had the advantage of the first leg but we played well. In football you always know that you can win or you can lose. We were really keen to win the Champions League again. The team fought hard, and now we are obliged to do well in the league. Now we have to work hard every day and do the best we can to win the league. It's tough, difficult, but that's football and we have to get over these things because we have a difficult game against Madrid to come.




Thuram

Barça played the ball around really well in the first half, and in the second Liverpool looked more tired. When Gudjohnsen scored, we thought we could make it 0-2.

"the first half they were very well organised. We had the game controlled but we couldn't get through"....Game controlled?crossbar hit twice, 2 superb saves by your keeper and a goalline clearance all in the first half, game controlled lol. you were lucky not to be 2 or 3 down at half time.

"It is not fair that we have gone out because Barça played much better football" possession in the middle of the park does not mean you played better football. Admittedly you looked better second half but it was too little too late.

Where these players at a different game to me? You did not have control, you did not play better football. Scoring goals is how to win games, you didn't score enough. End of.
