Luis Garcia

I think that we thought from the very beginning that that was going to be a big task.

Not because we didn't believe that Barcelona could manage to get the result or score and win the game.

But going through is a different thing.

Scoring four goals, five goals actually to go through, at least to arrive to that extra time.

It was important.

And I think that we saw a very, very exciting game.

Barcelona did what they had to do.

They scored.

They arrived to the last part of the game with options to get the equalizer.

And Atletico Madrid just defended.

I think that for Barcelona was more complicated in the second half.

We saw a lot of players that were tired.

They were...

The ideas were not there.

I think they rushed even a little bit too much, pulling Araujo just a centre-forward when there's still 20 minutes to be played.

But in the end, it wasn't enough.

Three goals, fantastic goals, well worked, and Atletico Madrid well deserved.

I think that Barcelona threw away the option of playing in the final in the first leg, and it was just too much to task to go and score four goals today to at least go to extra time.

Yeah, on paper, yes, because Atletico Madrid, because they are higher on the table.

But I have to tell you that Atletico de Bilbao is not an easy game, much more in the Cup.
