I love Eric but in that situation you let player go. Same mistake as Cuba.
Admittedly I haven't watched it back (yet) but on first viewing it looked harsh no? In this situation I don't think he can let him go, needing 2 goals would've just sealed our fate even earlier.
 
I think he played a very good game. We just take too many risks. We'd need some unreal defender to win CL if Flick doesn't wise up.

Flick has to understand that no backline and no defender will have an upper edge when sitting still in a backline vs runners in full sprint, especially not runners of top level. It's just not possible. If I run towards a backline, and I'm fast, I will always have an edge.

Unless the defender is some sort of pace monster. That's the only exception.

I think he's a fucking hero alongside Martin.

Players that were ridiculed and written off.

Now we are comparing them and disappointed if they're not on par with Bastonis or Van Dijks out there.
 
Garcia lost Griezmann for the goal though. He them abandoned his position to press Griezmann, instead of letting Griezmann receive there, because Gavi was also near him. Another mistake.

Garcia - Martin fecked up that play badly. No synchronization whatsoever.
 
Wasn't that clear of a red imo, Cubarsi red was much clearer - but wasn't shocking it was given.
But Garcia shouldn't be starting anyway if we had a great LCB... I hope he stays in Barca for a long time, he's an amazing backup that can cover CB, RB and DM - he has a big heart for the club - but he shouldn't be a starter in any of those positions, just a very good rotation player that a great team needs.
 
Garcia was having a great game overall. Everyone will make mistakes, the red is not one of them imo.
We were dead if Sorloth scored there and were already dead tired since 60th minute anyway.
 
Much better to have allowed him to score & fight for another goal with 10 men.

Players need to be smarter in these situations.
