Barcelona boss Hansi Flick has shared his thoughts after the Blaugrana lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid on Saturday night.
Hansi Flick expressed satisfaction with his team's performance despite their 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Pedri's first-half goal was cancelled out by Rodrigo De Paul and Alexander Sorloth's strikes in the second half, allowing Atlético to leapfrog Barcelona in the league table.
Barcelona's form in recent weeks has been less than satisfactory, with just two wins from their last 6 games. The consequence of that is potentially finishing the weekend in third.

'We were humble enough to suffer' - Simeone hails Atletico after historic win at Barcelona
Atletico recorded their first away win against the Catalans since 2006, five years prior to Simeone arrival at the club.
Despite the loss, Flick praised his team's style of play:
"We played exactly as I want to see. That's the style I want here at Barca."
"I'm sad for the result as losing nine points at home is not normal… but performance, it was great.
"That is exactly how I want the team to play."
Up next for Flick's men is a Copa Del Rey clash against Barbastro in January.
