That's why Hansi Flick skipped Robert Lewandowski. He pointed out the reason
It was pure madness. Barcelona were down 0-2 after six minutes, then led 4-1, and eventually tied 4-4 after conceding two goals in the last six minutes. So, going into the second leg, it's still a long shot whether they'll qualify for the final.
Robert Lewandowski started the match on the bench and came on in the 68th minute replacing Ferran Torres. Six minutes later, the captain of the Polish national team scored the fourth goal for Barca, and after the match Hansi Flick explained why he had put our compatriot on the bench.
"Lewandowski scored an important goal for us, but Ferran played well against Betis and Valencia and deserved to play from the start," said the Barcelona coach, recalling that in the two previous rounds of the Copa del Rey in the aforementioned matches Torres scored a total of four goals.
Hansi Flick was disappointed with the resultFlick also summed up the entire match against Atletico.
"I'm disappointed with the result, considering how many chances we had. We conceded too many goals at the end. I'm happy with how the players reacted after the score was 0:2, but the whole result frustrates me," he concluded.
