"We allowed Barcelona too much. It was our fault because we lost the ball a lot. We played wide, didn't work hard enough in defence to stop chances at our goal. You can't afford to do that with such opponents. Making a lot of mistakes, losing the ball in simple situations, we lost the game.

When you lose in such matches, it becomes clear that something did not work. In general, it was a game with ups and downs, because there were periods when we did well," journalist Gianluca Di Marzio quoted Calzona as saying.
