Champions League: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick remained optimistic despite suffering his first defeat in charge of the Catalan giants, a 2-1 loss to Monaco in their Champions League opener on Thursday.

The match was turned on its head when Barcelona defender Eric Garcia was sent off after just 11 minutes, allowing Monaco to seize control and secure the win through goals from Maghnes Akliouche and George Ilenikhena.

Despite the early setback, Flick praised his team’s effort and encouraged them to stay focused on the challenges ahead. "With Eric’s red card, the game changed totally, but I can see the positives. We tried to defend as a team and attack as a team. We had chances, but they deserved to win," he said in the post-match press conference.
