Busquets laments another "negative experience" in Europe
The midfielder said Barcelona had not learned their lesson from last season
Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets was one of the players to show their faces after being knocked out of the Champions League on Tuesday.
Barça surrendered a three-goal advantage as they were knocked out on away goals by Roma after a 3-0 defeat at the Stadio Olimpico.
“It’s another negative experience, I would be lying if I said it could serve for something because last season we went out in a similar away, albeit in the first leg, not the second,” Busquets told reporters.
“Any [positive] words now would be empty. It’s tough. There’s nothing else to say because we are out of the Champions League and that’s not something we wanted to happen.”
However, Busquets had no excuses, conceding that Roma had bossed the game.
He added: “They pinned us back and we didn’t know how to react, how to create chances, we were poorly positioned… it was everything [that was wrong].
“And in the end, they got the result and we didn’t. It’s a sad way to go out, especially after the result we had in the first leg. But [the game] went badly, Roma were superior in every way. It’s a really sad night, it’s disappointing for all of us.”
