Deco, the sporting director of FC Barcelona, expressed his stance following the team's heavy defeat against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano Stadium with a score of 4-0, emphasizing various aspects related to performance and video assistant referee technology.

Deco said, "The feeling is not good, a 4-0 result is very difficult. We have the return match, maybe we can make up for it, but we didn't play a good game."

He added: "This team has shown that it is capable of coming back in the score and has experience in achieving remarkable comebacks. It will be difficult, but not impossible. In any case, we need to analyze the performance. We couldn't handle the opponent's aggression in the first half, but we improved in the second half. Atletico is a great team."

Deco continued about video technology: "I don't understand it, I don't see any improvement with video technology. It has become difficult for us to understand the decisions, and they take ten minutes to make a decision."

He continued: "If the video technology had reviewed Simeone's tackle on Balde, it might have been a red card as well."

He also spoke about the player changes: "Casado had a card, and considering the timing of the match, with counterattacks and sliding players, things were difficult, but we need to focus on the return match."
