After the match, Flick stated that he substituted Rashford for Olmo to move Raphinha to the flank.

However, the Barcelona coach emphasized that he was satisfied with Rashford's first-half performance and made the decision to try to regain control of the game.

Marcus had a few chances in the first half and showed that he can help us, and that’s how we can move forward.
In the second half, we had to make changes, and we brought Raphinha to the flank.
I think it was the right changes. The first goal after the break changed the game.
