Flick: Proud Despite Copa Exit

Barcelona's Copa del Rey dreams ended despite a remarkable comeback attempt that saw them take a three-goal lead with 20 minutes remaining before Atletico Madrid held on for a 4-3 aggregate victory.

Manager Hansi Flick acknowledged the disappointment but emphasized pride in his team's performance: "We're disappointed, but also proud of what we saw. It was an incredible match; we created so many chances." Flick highlighted the return to form of defender Cubarsi and the team's collective effort, challenging them to maintain this level consistently in upcoming matches against Bilbao and Newcastle.
