Barça reacted after falling to Inter in Champions with messages of unity, pride and promises to return. The wardrobe spoke after the ko in Milan
FC Barcelona’s defeat against Inter Milan undoubtedly left more than one Barça fan emotionally devastated. And how could it not? The Catalan team missed a golden opportunity to return to a UEFA Champions League final after ten years of absence. Moreover, the setback came when Barça were just seconds away from reaching their goal, having come back from a 0-2 deficit in a match that was especially hard-fought against a 'Nerazzurri' side that struck at the perfect moment and found their hero in Yann Sommer, who prevented what could have been a heavy defeat for the Italians.
After a difficult Champions League night—one that brought back memories of past setbacks like the one against Paris Saint-Germain last season, or the painful losses to Liverpool in 2019 and Roma in 2018—several FC Barcelona players took to social media to share their feelings after this heartbreaking semi-final elimination.
Lamine Yamal promises to return and bring the Champions League trophy
One of the standout players of the night, Lamine Yamal, used his Instagram account to share a message of optimism and ambition for the future: "We gave it our all, this year it couldn’t be, but we’ll be back, have no doubt, culers. We won’t stop until we put this club back where it belongs, at the very top. I will fulfill my promise and bring it back to Barcelona. But Sunday is another final and we must all be united. ¡Visca el Barça!".
Raphinha: "We will come back stronger"
Left winger Raphinha also showed optimism and assured that the team still has a lot to fight for this season: "We will come back stronger... Thanks to the support of all the culers... we stay united... The season is not over. With each passing day I feel prouder to wear these colors. Visca el Barça always."
Lewandowski thanks the support and looks ahead
Striker Robert Lewandowski appreciated the collective effort and how close they were to reaching the final: "We gave it our all and came so close. Proud of this journey and very grateful for your support, culers. There’s still a lot to fight for and we will keep moving forward together."
Ferran Torres urges to move on
Ferran Torres encouraged the fans to leave the disappointment behind and focus on what's next: "It was a very tough night, hard for all of us to digest, but we must keep going. We have a very important goal and we will fight to achieve it. Always together, culers."
Dani Olmo highlights pride and hope
Dani Olmo also wanted to underline the commitment and the excitement still present in the dressing room: "I’m left only with words of pride and hope for this team and our fans. We were so close, and it slipped away. I’m sure this will make us stronger. We’ll bring our Barça back to where it belongs. More united than ever, culers. Visca el Barça, always."
Gerard Martín: “In victory and defeat, Visca el Barça always”
The most heartfelt message came from Gerard Martín, who shared a deep reflection on the team’s effort and commitment: "Culers, we’re truly sorry for not achieving what we all longed for after so many years. I only feel pride for this team. Some things are beyond our control, but we must lift our heads. Now more than ever, for this badge, this team, and for each and every one of you. We’ll be back where this club and its fans belong! In victory and in defeat, Visca el Barça sempre!"
Iñigo Martínez sees the start of a new journey
Iñigo Martínez was convinced that this is just the beginning of something big: "Where others see the end, we see the start of the return. Proud of the work we’re doing. Let no one doubt that we will return. This is not over... we go full throttle on Sunday."
