We didn't play with passion: Pep
Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola refused to blame his side's arduous coach journey to Milan for their disappointing 3-1 defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semifinal at the San Siro.
"I don't want to make excuses," he told Sky Sports. "It was a long trip, that is true, but this is the semifinals of the Champions League and the desire to reach the final should be important enough. It's okay, though, this happens.
"We started with a goal but we didn't play enough football in the first half," said Guardiola. "We didn't move the ball with passion. We played against a good team under difficult circumstances, but there is one game left and we are going to try."
Guardiola warned Inter Milan that the tie is far from over, with Barcelona set to go in search of the two goals they need to book a final berth in Madrid.
