Hansi Flick sent out a strong message to his players after seeing his team beaten for the first time this season against Monaco in the Champions League.

An early red card to Eric Garcia left Barcelona with a mountain to climb, but they came close to nicking a point until Monaco went 2-1 up in the second half.

Flick admitted after the game that the sending off was crucial to the result but has urged his players to bounce back from the setback.

“Yes, the game changed completely [after the red]. We tried at all times, we defended with passion.
