Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick commented on his team's 1-0 defeat to Alaves in La Liga's 36th round. This result brought an end to the Catalans' impressive run of 11 consecutive league victories.
"I'm disappointed with the outcome. We aimed for a win today, but I also saw some positives. I'm pleased with the team's performance. Alvaro Cortes made his debut and did very well. Espart and Marquez also played well, as did Bernal after his injury," Flick stated.
"We had our chances in the first half, but ultimately conceded a goal from a corner kick. In those moments, we lacked concentration. We must accept the result and prepare for Sunday's match," the German tactician added.
"The attitude and approach were good, but it wasn't an easy game. Alaves played very aggressively, as everyone saw. We have to accept what happened," Flick concluded.
