“We could have passed”: Ter Stegen's reaction after Barcelona's 1-4 defeat against PSG

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen assured that this Tuesday’s elimination in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against PSG (1-4) “it hurts” because “it gives the feeling” that the Barça team could have qualified.

“Right now is not the right time to think about Sunday. We have to rest, recharge our batteries to get back to being well, especially mentally, so we can refocus on what we have to do. In the end this defeat hurts because it gives the feeling that we could have passed“, summarized the goalkeeper.

From the mixed zone of the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, Ter Stegen said that the final result does justice to the game: “In the end we had everything close, although the result says otherwise, we cannot deny it. We had some important chances being with ten and we couldn’t take advantage of them“.

“The expulsion affected because with ten players it was another game. We had everything going for us. In the 40th minute they tied us with a great goal. We would have liked to go into the half with a two-goal lead, at least to compete even better. In the end we had to open ourselves especially with the 3-1“, he valued.

Ter Stegen stated that now “what we have to do is compete in LaLiga.” “We are going to try to make it as difficult as possible for Real Madrid. Let’s hope that after Sunday’s game the difference will be less,” he added.
