Sergio Busquets “Raised His Hat” for Liverpool’s Fantastic Performance

DBasia.news –  Barcelona failed to advance to the Champions League final after a crushing defeat 0-4 at Anfield, the headquarters of Liverpool, in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday (8/5) early morning Western Indonesian Time.

The 3-0 advantage in the first leg also seemed to be meaningless because the Reds successfully scored four goals, each pair of Georginio Wijnaldum and Divock Origi. Barca also lost on aggregate 4-3 goals.

In response to the defeat and failure of his team to advance to the Champions League final, Sergio Busquets finally opened his voice. The Spaniard also admitted if Jurgen Klopp’s squad did look much better than Barcelona.

“Yes, they (Liverpool) performed much better than Barcelona. They continued to press and carry out attacks. Although we had a chance to score, it did not happen,” Busquets said after the match as reported by Football Espana.

The defeat against Liverpool is of course very detrimental to foster children Ernesto Valverde, besides they failed to maintain excellence in the first meeting, the club based at the Camp Nou must also return to bury the dream of becoming king of Europe, even though the Champions League has long been a target.

Being knocked out by the English club in the semifinals was not a new experience for the Azulgrana before they had experienced the same thing when they had to admit Chelsea’s superiority in the 2011/12 Champions League, while still playing under the direction of Pep Guardiola.
