I saw positives — Hansi Flick mentions mistake they made in Chelsea defeat.

Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick insisted that there were positives from his side’s disappointing performance against Chelsea in the Champions League.

The Blaugrana were soundly beaten by their modern European rivals at Stamford Bridge, with a Jules Kounde own goal and strikes from Estevao and Liam Delap helping Enzo Maresca’s side win 3-0.

Speaking after the game, Flick kept a calm persona, despite the worrying performance from his team. He analysed the defeat, stating that they were clumsy on the ball. However, he said that he also saw positives.

"We made some big ball losses – this was the key today. We had some players making unusual mistakes. But I also saw some positive things and we have to work on the other things,” he said, per the BBC.

Importantly, he also expressed his excitement at the return of Marcus Rashford and Raphinha. The Brazilian had been out for months, while Rashford missed their LALIGA triumph over Athletic Club due to fever.

Both players had substitute appearances against Chelsea, as Flick shared his excitement in their return. "I am happy Raphinha is back and Marcus [Rashford] is at this level and, as I said, I prefer to look positively."
