Failure! Barcelona lost the ball after two substitutions, but was dissatisfied with the goal. The referee was dissatisfied with the help of Inter Milan

In the first match of the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals ending in the early morning of May 7, Barcelona lost to Inter Milan 3-4 after overtime away games, and was eliminated 6-7 in the total score. With the Champions League eliminated, Barcelona's dream of "four champions" this season was shattered ahead of schedule.

In this game, the highly praised Barcelona coach Frick was rarely questioned on the spot. In the second half, Barcelona scored three goals in a row, and once staged a miracle of "letting two chase three", but at this time Flick's substitution was a bit incomprehensible. In the first minute of stoppage time, Frick replaced Ferran Torres with Lewandowski, who had just recovered from injury, instead of replacing a defensive player to strengthen his defense. You should know that Barcelona is only a few minutes away from entering the finals, just keep a steady counterattack, and it is indeed worth discussing when switching to the forward. Lewandowski was in no state when he replaced it, with 0 shots and missed an excellent opportunity. This substitution was indeed a failure. In overtime, Frick repeated the same mistake again. In the 98th minute, he replaced Eric Garcia with Ford. As a result, just one minute after Ford came up, Inter Milan won the final victory with Flatesi. Wait until Frick replaced Gavey and Victor again in the 106th minute, but it seemed too late. Fric has indeed achieved remarkable achievements in leading Barcelona this season, but it has to be said that this second leg of the Champions League semi-finals is one of his few defeats.

Perhaps it was too disappointed to miss the Champions League final. In an interview after the game, Frick publicly criticized the referee Machiniak and helped Inter Milan: "I don't want to talk too much about the referee, but whenever there is a 50-5 penalty, it is always beneficial to Inter Milan. This is the reality. I am proud of my team, but I think this result is not fair!"

In fact, objectively speaking, the referee's penalty was not too controversial in the whole game. Frick publicly accused the penalty of such a loss of composure, and it is indeed a bit "can't afford to lose".
