Glasner: “I apologize to Barça for my reaction to the third goal”

Oliver Glasner wanted to make a clarification before starting the press conference to apologize to Barcelona for its reaction after Eintracht’s third goal, “I apologize for my reaction to the third goal because I went to the Barcelona bench and may have misunderstood”, also thanking the players and the fans, “for a response that I had never seen in my life”.

What can you tell the players?

We have played the whole game in an incredible way. He only left us in the nine minutes of injury time, but I forgive him for once.

How does it feel?

No one is going to make me forget tonight. I will remember my whole life until I die. I’ve seen a stadium full of white jerseys. It has been very emotional. I’m going to keep it for myself, all the emotions I’ve experienced. I have told my players that at the end of the game I wanted to look them in the eye because they had given everything.

Have you feared 3-3?

I have to admit yes. It would have been a disaster to reach extra time because we were also playing with one less.

What was the plan?

We have passed against the fittest team in LaLiga. We knew that Barcelona had problems with our strength and speed. We have made them play in areas where they did not create danger for us. The objective was to put problems for Busquets and everything went as planned.

What did you feel seeing so many Eintracht fans at the Camp Nou?

I thought we were playing at home. They have also helped us.
