The fault on Lookman&#8217;s goal before the break and a second half where they will hit the wall of Atl\u00e9tico. When commenting on this insufficient victory (1-2 after the 0-2 in the first leg at Camp Nou), the Catalans were embittered. And protested against the arbitration of Cl\u00e9ment Turpin.<\/p>\n<p>The most virulent was Raphinha. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s a stolen match,\u201d said the Brazilian winger when he wasn\u2019t even on the pitch. I find that the refereeing was problematic. The decisions that were made are incredible. Atl\u00e9tico made I don&#8217;t know how many mistakes and they didn&#8217;t get a yellow card. \u00bb The French whistle, on the other hand, expelled Eric Garcia at the end of the match after consulting the VAR.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-placeholder u-placeholder-twitter\" data-vendor=\"xtwitter-3cVkYrxq\">\n<div class=\"embed-wrapper u-hidden\">\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" align=\"center\" data-lang=\"fr_FR\">\n<p lang=\"es\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udca5 Raphinha, very clear: &#8220;For me it was a stolen game&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca5 &#8220;Atl\u00e9tico made I don&#8217;t know how many fouls and the referee didn&#8217;t show a yellow card&#8221;<br \/>\ud83d\udca5 &#8220;I really want to understand your fear of Barcelona winning&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/epvexOVfBh\">pic.twitter.com\/epvexOVfBh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Mundo Deportivo (@mundodeportivo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mundodeportivo\/status\/2044178004847345890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 14, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"p-xxl@xs border-color-grey-200 radius-l@xs cmp-placeholder u-hidden\">\n<p class=\"mb-m@xs text-l@xs\">By clicking on<span class=\"ml-xxs@xs font-weight-bold@xs\">\u201cI accept\u201d<\/span>you accept the deposit of cookies by external services and will thus have access to the content of our partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xl@xs text-s@xs\">More information on the Cookie management policy page<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"mx-auto@xs flex@xs items-center@xs justify-center@xs gap-xxs@xs c-btn c-btn--primary cmp-button\">I accept<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The video also came to the aid of the Madrilenians at a crucial moment, around the hour mark, when it made it possible to detect the offside of Ferran Torres who had just scored his team&#8217;s third goal, synonymous with an equalizer in both matches. The train never returned, and the Barcelonans were eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are disappointed, obviously. Overall, I think we deserved to reach the semi-finals, said coach Hansi Flick. Everyone is sad, because it&#8217;s all of our dreams to win the Champions League. But we must accept this result and we will come back stronger. \u00bb<\/p>\n<h2>Little sentences and tension<\/h2>\n<p>The technician did not comment on the refereeing this time, unlike in the first leg where he complained about a penalty not awarded to his team. Bar\u00e7a had even filed a complaint with UEFA. Rejected, obviously. Overall, this double confrontation gave rise to a lot of short sentences and constant tension.<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona captain Frenkie de Jong, present in the mixed zone, for his part affirmed that his team had \u201cdominated the two matches, even playing with ten\u201d and only regretted that \u201cluck did not fall\u201d on their side.<\/p>\n<p>All the news from the Champions League<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to continue to grow. I am sure that if we continue to play like this, with the team we have and this idea of \u200b\u200bthe game, at one point things will change in our favor,\u201d noted the Dutchman. In the meantime, they still have La Liga, where they are on track to retain their title.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When they led 2-0 after 24 minutes of play Tuesday evening on the Metropolitano pitch, Bar\u00e7a players surely imagined an outcome other than this frustrating elimination from the Champions League.
