Barcelona will take a long time to digest the defeat in Milan: he had honey on his lips for a few seconds and faded him; He deserved victory, but they took it out.
“Decorous” defeats also hurt. They hurt more. There is the feeling of what could be, of what should have been, and that, of that it is difficult to recover, at least immediately.
Barcelona was less than two minutes after getting the ticket to the Champions League final with all the merits and the route of excellence.
He was superior to his rival in the balance of the 210 minutes played of the series, but appealing to justice in football is equivalent to believing in miracles. They happen, although very occasionally.
This season has represented the awakening of a team that had lost respect in Europe after several years of failures and historical ridicules, one more serious than another.
Hansi Flick recovered the postal code of the club, identity, style, passion, hunger and pride that represents “from Barça.” Therefore, the crying and sadness of several Chamacos who already play as adults, after the defeat in Milan.

Inexperience took its toll to Barcelona
Inter defeated Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals, with a 7-6 global, and qualified for the tournament final.
Fighting for the maximum glory at club level on May 31 in Munich was an award that young people deserved – and not as young as an extraordinary Íñigo Martínez – of this Barcelona that has had an extraordinary season and that, without a doubt, practices the best football in Europe. Again.
And that is when it is impossible that the memory of Barcelona does not shake that shot in the Lamine post that represented the 4-2, or the rude and tendentious performance of the referee who influenced the result, or the warm mark of Ronald Araújo in the third and fourth goal when he had just a few minutes on the court, or the saved of Yann Sommer to the shot of Yamal in the second time in the second time, between so many other facts, between so many other facts, between so many other facts, between so many other facts, among the second time They combined so that the best team on the San Siro field would lose.
The great defeats cure little by little and with great conquests. Today there is no comfort to serve because it will be remembered for decades that Hansi Flick’s team in the first season of the German had honey on his lips and drained in seconds.
That there is future, of course and much; that today more than ever the pride of Barcelona came out, of course; that the team again excites and causes emotion, no doubt; That the footballer who is called to be the best in the world for the next 10 or 15 years, is.
It is not a poor comfort, it is not about covering pain with expectations. The lost battle before Inter is going to penetrate for a long time, but with all certainty this new Barcelona will return and there will be revenge. It happens in life. It happens in football.
