• Chronicle: Barça only survives in Prague
  • Protagonist: The anger of Ter Stegen: "It is necessary to talk about some things"

"They are very hot, the players do not speak." So Barcelona tried to explain the reason why none of its players attended the media displaced to Prague. The anguished Barca victory against Slavia that clarifies those of Ernesto Valverde qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 left a bittersweet taste. Especially among the members of the first Barcelona team, who did not care much about hiding their discomfort.

Gerard Piqué, Arturo Vidal, Jordi Alba, Leo Messi and Luis Suarez , once the game was over, they chose to set aside a fence and thus avoid even going through the hall where journalists were waiting.

"There are things we have to improve, but it is something internal. Luckily we have won, but we need to talk some things between us," Ter Stegen admitted. The players have already advanced somewhat in the same locker room of Eden Arena in an atmosphere of discomfort and tension.

Ter Stegen was key in three actions that could well change the course of a match in which Slavia finished up 22 times. Especially hard for the Catalans were the last 20 minutes of the crash, in which Barcelona could only throw balls from its area while shrinking water as it could. Messi was taken by demons and Valverde did not worry too much in the preparation of the story: "Football is like that '.
