Barcelona's dressing room critical after draw: "It's already happened to us in the league... we have to learn from this"
The final result was a cold shower for Barcelona, who were thinking of a rout a few minutes before the end of the match that would have practically sealed the tie. Pedri González was self-critical of the way in which the Catalan team let themselves be beaten. "It's the worst result when you go 4-2 down. It's already happened to us in the league. We're repeating it. We have to take care of these things. These are things we have to learn ," lamented the Canary Islander, who saw similarities to the league match in which Sorloth also scored the last goal for Madrid (and ultimately the winning goal) at the last minute.
However, Pedri made it clear that his team had played a very good game and rejected the theory that everything had gone wrong after his substitution: “I think we played a great game against Atlético . Today we started off with a hard blow by conceding two goals early on, but I'm left with the way the team reacted. When we get ahead we have to be calmer and play. I feel important but I prefer the team to win and for people to talk about the team,” he said before showing himself optimistic about the return leg at the Metropolitano: “We're going to go for it. I have full confidence in the team. It's going to be a difficult game there but we're going to go for it, that's for sure.”
