Okan Buruk explained the reasons for the defeat: 'We are putting pressure, but...'

Galatasaray Coach Okan Buruk made a statement after the Barcelona match.

Okan Buruk's statements are as follows:

"We did what we wanted until a certain minute in the first half and got the goal. We also scored the second goal, but it was cancelled. We retreated a lot towards the end of the first half, something I never wanted; against Barcelona... It was dangerous for them to approach your goal, we knew that. The goal we conceded was a chance goal... Yamal fell, the ball was left in the middle..."

"IT IS DIFFICULT TO ATTACK A TEAM LIKE THIS"

"I said we should go forward at half-time, but it was 3-1 too early. The match changed suddenly. As the score increased, morale dropped. Spain has 7-8 players who are world champions. This year's players were in very good form."

"We are pressuring, but when we say 'Are they going to lose the ball?' they come out... Pedri, for example, Rodri... Attacking pressure was difficult against such a team. We tried from time to time. Player changes did not bring results either. The players who entered were also very effective."

"EARLY GOALS IN THE SECOND HALF..."

"If it had been 2-0, maybe it would have been the match in which we would advance, but early goals in the second half put us off. We did certain things well and certain things badly. There is not much to say to the players."
