Barça Flick Concerned Over Pedri, Lamine Rested

FC Barcelona face uphill battle in Champions League quarter-final after losing 0-2 to Atlético de Madrid in first leg. Goals from Sørloth and Julián Álvarez silenced Camp Nou despite Barcelona's dominance in possession.

Manager Hansi Flick confirmed Pedri was substituted at half-time due to "some discomfort" and called for protection for Lamine Yamal, highlighting opponents' "excessive roughness" against the young star. Despite the defeat, Flick praised Gavi and Dani Olmo's performances and remains focused on a potential comeback in Madrid.
