The German coach&#8217;s team still leads the league with 33 points, six points ahead of second-place Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Flick said in a press conference on Sunday: \u201cIt wasn\u2019t our day. I think we need to accept this result because they were decisive. Clearly, there are no excuses. We didn\u2019t create enough chances\u2026 We started the match well when we had possession, and I was happy with that, but then we started to struggle, and they scored. We also made some wrong decisions, and that\u2019s something we have to live with.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Barcelona had scored in every game they played until Sunday; however, they finished the match in San Sebasti\u00e1n without a single shot on target.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Real Sociedad created many chances and could have won by a larger margin after a series of defensive mistakes from an unorganized Barcelona defense, which Flick believes they will need to study carefully.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">He added: &#8220;The responsibility for the defeat lies with us. We could and should have played better\u2026 We didn\u2019t dominate possession the way we wanted, and we suffered. But the games we played before that were fantastic, and I appreciate what the team has done so far this season\u2026 We fought until the last minute, we were united, and I told the team that. But on Sunday, we weren\u2019t strong enough to deserve a better result.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hans Flick, Barcelona&#8217;s coach, made no excuses following his team&#8217;s poor performance in their 1-0 loss to Real Sociedad at the Anoeta Stadium in La Liga on Sunday, a defeat that ended Barcelona&#8217;s seven-match winning streak across all competitions.
