Jules Kounde admits that Barcelona’s defeat to Manchester United in the Europa League is “very painful” but should act as a learning process for the players.
Barcelona were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford in the second leg of the play-off tie, going out 4-3 on aggregate to Erik ten Hag’s side.
Kounde says the dressing room is very disappointed by the loss and apologized to supporters for the early exit from the competition.
“This elimination is very painful. We had a good first half and in the second half we conceded too quickly. We lost control after the equalizer.
