[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Barcelona were eliminated, but Coomann seemed to have seen hope in this match.
Barcelona, led by coach Ronald Koeman, was eliminated with a combined score of 2-5 in the PSG away game in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 in the 2020/21 season held at Parc de France on the 11th (Korean time).
In the 31st minute, Killian Mbafe first scored the first goal in Barcelona, and in the 37th minute Lionel Messi tied with a fantastic left-footed mid-range shot, but couldn’t score an extra goal after that.
In particular, only Antoine Grizzes got a penalty kick in the extra time in the first half, and Messi handled it, but it was crucial that goalkeeper Keyler Navas was saved by goalkeeper.
Barcelona were eliminated in the round of 16 despite a wave of offense, not scoring an extra goal on the Navas goalkeeper’s save show.
After the match, coach Koeman mentioned both regret and hope at a press conference. He said,’We are eliminated. But we showed good performance and left. We’ve got a great opportunity to make our opponents very complicated. We overpowered our opponents in the first half and took risks through interpersonal marks. According to our efforts, we could have advanced 2-1, and if we reached the second half, the result could have been different,” he said.
He continued, “Mesh saw that the team was further developed in several scenes. We have very good young players and we have a good future ahead. Messi said he has no doubts about Barcelona’s future.
Kuman’s remarks had room for interpretation as Messi hoped to remain in Barcelona.
Barcelona recently elected the former president of Barcelona, Juan Laporta, who led the war in the 21st century through the presidential election.
He also declared Messi’s stay in Barcelona and declared that Messi would not leave the team with his election, saying’Messi is a family of Barcelona’.
Messi’s contract expires this summer, and Barcelona’s financial deterioration is an obstacle to Messi’s stay right now. Seems to be.
