Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said that his team had achieved great success by reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League and that his players, despite losing to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the quarter-finals, had played brilliantly so far this season.
Barcelona advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, despite losing 3-1 away to Borussia Dortmund in the second leg of the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
"We have progressed and that was our goal. It is fantastic for the club to be in the semi-finals of the Champions League. It is a great success and we are very happy about it. We played against a great Borussia Dortmund team, who made life impossible for us. The only important thing is that we are in the semi-finals," Flick said, as reported by the Spanish club's website.
The Spanish club won the first leg of the two-legged tie 4-0 at home, advancing to the semifinals with a 5-3 aggregate score.
"We have to look at the positives, not the negatives. We have a great team that is playing brilliantly at the moment and that is what is important. We have to continue doing what we have been doing. It will be important to look back on this game and accept what happened, but we also have to look forward, we have big challenges ahead of us," Flick added.
Barcelona will face the winner of the tie between Inter and Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals. The Italian club won the first leg of the tie 2-1 on away ground.
