The Barcelona defender admits that his team did not play well enough against Shakhtar to qualify for victory
Defender Barcelona Joao Cancelo made a comment after his team’s defeat to Shakhtar V Champions League.
“Sporting sensations are not pleasant. We played very poorly in the last two matches. In the game with Real Sociedad we did not deserve to win, and against Shakhtar we also did not play a good game to get three points.”
“Now we have a game on Saturday to continue our growth. [После международной паузы] we have to come back with a different mentality.”
“We are Barça, we must move forward, this is the only way,” concluded Cancelo.
Let us remind you that on November 7, in the match of the 4th round of the Champions League group stage, the Miners sensationally beat Xavi’s team (1:0) thanks to a goal from Daniil Sican. The best player of the meeting was Georgy Sudakov. Earlier, Blaugrana won a difficult victory over Real Sociedad (1:0) in an away match of the Spanish Primera League.
Barcelona remains in first place in Group H with nine points. In the next round of the Champions League, the Blaugrana will host Porto on November 28.
In the Spanish Championship, the current champion is in third place, two points behind Real Madrid and four points behind Girona. On November 12, Barcelona will host Alaves, after which the club tournaments will take a break from national team matches.
