A shockwave hits Catalonia! Following Barcelona’s heartbreaking and chaotic Champions League elimination at the hands of Inter Milan, Hansi Flick erupts in anger after the final whistle, placing the blame on a single individual and holding him entirely accountable for this crushing European exit.

Inter Milan booked their place in the UEFA Champions League final after an electrifying 4-3 triumph over Barcelona in a dramatic clash on Tuesday evening.

The Italian giants staged an impressive comeback to secure their spot in the Munich final, where they now await the winner of the other semifinal between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.

According to a report by Spanish outlet El Nacional, Barcelona’s coach Hansi Flick was left furious following his team’s heartbreaking exit from the competition. The German manager placed significant blame on Polish referee Szymon Marciniak, accusing him of making crucial errors that contributed to Barcelona’s downfall.

Flick believed his side were unfairly denied two penalty claims and criticized the official for not awarding a foul in the build-up to Inter’s late equalizer, which pushed the match into extra time.

But Flick’s frustrations didn’t end with the officiating. He reportedly turned his anger towards some of his own players, singling out defensive duo Pau Cubarsí and Gerard Martín. The young defender Cubarsí conceded a penalty that led to Inter’s second goal, while Martín was held responsible for two of the four goals Barcelona conceded on the night, placing added pressure on goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen.

Adding to his disappointment, Flick also criticized team captain Ronald Araújo for his poor marking of Inter defender Francesco Acerbi, who netted the equalizing goal in the dying moments of regular time. The report claimed Flick was so disillusioned with Araújo’s performance that he demanded the club’s president, Joan Laporta, arrange his departure during the upcoming summer transfer window.

Despite the intense criticism directed at certain players, Flick was said to have praised the performances of Pedri and young talent Lamine Yamal.

Both players fought tirelessly until the final whistle, although their efforts were ultimately wasted due to what Flick described as childish defensive mistakes and the ineffective display from Raphinha, who only made an impact during the build-up to Barcelona’s third goal.

In a surprising move after the final whistle, President Joan Laporta reportedly entered the dressing room to comfort the distraught players. While offering his support, Laporta echoed Flick’s frustrations, allegedly blaming Ronald Araújo for the defeat and telling the Uruguayan defender to consider finding a new club once the season concludes.
