Eric Garcia, Barcelona player, spoke after his team's 4-0 loss to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Spanish King's Cup semi-final, confirming the difficulty of the match and emphasizing the possibility of making up for it in the return leg.

Garcia said: "The first half was difficult for us, obviously the first goal was unbelievable bad luck, after that they entered the game with more focus and higher spirit, and against a competitor like Atletico, it's hard to deal with this advantage. There is still a match at our home, with our fans and with players we will recover, if we enter the game focused from the start, we can turn things around."

He continued: "I won't deceive you, they were reaching our area very easily, there were many spaces, in the second half we adjusted things and made changes, we scored a goal, and we all have questions. I saw a picture, and the frame wasn't completely clear to me, but we won't use that as an excuse."

He added: "During the break, Flick told us the match started anew, and we had to try to win the second half."

He concluded his statements by saying: "Did you see Giuliano's tackle? And do you think it's a red card? These decisions lately have been going against us, unfortunately, I slipped and touched him, we know it will be difficult, and they won't make it easy for us, but playing at home with the support of our fans, we can win."
