What did City make it difficult for Barcelona? How difficult was it to play against them and why was it difficult for you?
Well, City did a very good match. We were not at our best level today and I want to congratulate City.
I think they won a lot of duels today at the first half. Maybe in the second they were better.
And they made a lot of chances and they deserved the victory today.
Can you put specifically what was difficult? How did they disrupt Barcelona? The specifics. You have not lost since February.
I think the intensity. The intensity of how they played today. They won a lot of duels to us.
Maybe we were not so ready to win this kind of duels. We were not at our best today.
We have to improve. We have to see the game and improve because it's the first game of the Champions League this year.
I would like to value also the competition because it's not easy to win the Champions League, to arrive at the final.
There are a lot of good teams like City today. We will have to improve.
Often you face stronger teams in March, April, later on in the year. Is the timing of this game, given it's October, and your league is perhaps...
Against Granada, Madrid you have beaten them 10-1, 8-1. Is it more difficult to come to a more intense team early on in the season?
I don't want to put excuses. Of course, everyone knows my opinion about the league.
But our match today is not about the league. It's about us. It's about because we have our best performance.
We have to improve. It's not about October. It's not about the league. It's about because we were not at our best today.
Aitana, it's the first game under a new coach in the Champions League. Is that making a lot of difference compared to last season?
Every coach wants to have this style to play, but in Barça we always have the same style.
We want to have the ball and create chances with the ball. Every coach is different, but the style, the main style is the same.
Do you expect to win again?
We'll see. It's not in my hands. It's about last season. I want to win one of Barça's games.
