"Barcelona” continues to go through a not very good period.

On Monday, the Catalans lost 1:2 to Girona in an away match in "La Liga” and gave up the top position to the players of Madrid’s "Real.”

After the match, "Barca” coach Hansi Flick had complaints about the referee, but he acknowledged that the opponents deserved the victory.

"I don’t want to talk about it, but you all saw the situation before the second opponent's goal. Still, we have to admit that Girona deserved the win.

We played very poorly in defense, especially during the opponent's transitions. Our midfielders weren’t where they needed to be.

Yes, there was a clear foul before the opponent’s second goal, but I would talk more about it if we had played a good match.

It may seem like I’m complaining or making excuses, but I really don’t want to do that. We just have to play better,” said H. Flick.
