Cubarsi Takes Responsibility After Red Card in 0-2 Loss

Barcelona fell 0-2 to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League quarter‑final, a result magnified by Pau Cubarsi’s red card that left the team a man down for the second half. Cubarsi posted on Instagram accepting responsibility, saying, “One action determines the match and the tie. That’s football, and I take responsibility for the result.” He added a message of solidarity: “We’re more united than ever… we’ll never give up.” Cubarsi will miss the second leg at Riyadh Air Metropolitano, but he hopes his teammates can overturn the deficit.
