Mircea Lucescu: “The game against Barcelona was supposed to end in a draw”

FC Dynamo Kyiv head coach Mircea Lucescu has summarized the Champions League group stage matchday 4 game against FC Barcelona (0:1).

- This is probably Dynamo most bitter defeat of the season. What lesson can the team learn after this game?

- The point of the lesson is that we can oppose any team, even Barcelona. One just needs to be confident and do what coach tells to.

There’s a gap in players’ skillfulness. What a goal by Fati! Meanwhile we couldn’t use chances we had. That’s the difference.

Generally I think we’ve played a good game against very good team. And we deserved more. This was probably Barcelona best Champions League match of the season.

This was visitors’ last chance. Basically, the game was supposed to end in a draw, but Barcelona were lucky.

- Did you see new Barcelona today?

- The team was more aggressive, maintained possession and switched to attacks quickly. We did better than in Barcelona and created chances, but didn’t use them.
