Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said he will ensure that his players will use the 4-1 loss of Sunday at Seville to repair the mistakes in the future while watching to defend their La Liga title.
The men of Flick have now had two consecutive defeats in all competitions after their 2-1 loss for Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Wednesday. Sunday’s defeat also broke the unbeaten start of Barcelona in La Liga, and it now follows leader Real Madrid with two points.
«Today I have to accept this defeat, and I look positive in a certain sense. We also see the negative points in our game that we have to change,» said Flick, whose side is 19 points from eight games, reporters said.

«The first half was not good … We had no solutions to play out, it was really not good. But in the second half, the reaction, I appreciated a lot. What we did, how we played, it was really good to see. With this defeat, this emotion … It is important that we keep it, and when we start fighting again after the break,» he added.
Flick said he was happy that the players left with an international break, with the club returning against Girona on October 18.
«At the moment it is good that we have a break, also for the players to play for the national teams. I think it is a different atmosphere there,» the coach said.
«When they are back … then we try to work hard to (come back) at our level, which we normally want to play. This is the most important thing, but again, we need some players at their highest level,» he added.
