Marc Bernal scored twice for Barcelona on Tuesday night as Hansi Flick’s side beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 in the Copa del Rey
but went out of the competition 4-3 on aggregate.The midfielder now has four goals in his last five matches for Barcelona and admitted after the game it was a “bittersweet” moment for him.
“Happy with what the team has given and thanks to the fans. It has been special, but bittersweet because we were one goal short and couldn’t advance,” he said.
Barcelona’s defence of their Copa
del Rey trophy has now ended, but Bernal says his team can go on and taste glory in both the league and in Europe this season.
“If we go in with this mentality and hunger, we can achieve great things,” he added. “We’re going to go all out, compete in the Champions League round of 16 and the League.”
Barcelona will take a few days to recover but then face another big week at home and abroad. First up is a trip to Athletic Club before a game against Newcastle in the Champions League.
