Barca lost its last-eight first leg 2-0 at Camp Nou last week, with Julian Alvarez and Alexander Sorloth getting on the scoresheet after a red card to Pau Cubarsi.

The Blaugrana's 2-0 defeat to Atleti was the 195th time in European Cup/UEFA Champions League history a team has lost the first leg of a knockout stage tie at home by two or more goals.

Only two of the previous 194 have progressed to the next round – Manchester United against Paris Saint-Germain in 2018-2019 and Ajax against Benfica in 1968-1969.

Yamal leads all Barcelona players for successful dribbles (37) and total shots (32) in UEFA's flagship competition this season.

Meanwhile, no player has created more chances for the club than the 18-year-old, with 20 goal involvements.

The teenager praised the ability of his team-mates, but insisted he is unfazed by the pressure placed on his shoulders.

"Luckily, I'm playing for Barcelona and we have a lot of quality," Yamal said.

"I don't think it all depends on me, and even if it did, I wouldn't mind. But I have faith in my team.

"From a young age, I've taken on more responsibilities than I should have. I'm used to it. I don't see it as a problem, but as a strength. I appreciate the trust my colleagues place in me."

Barca has come under criticism for its style of play this season, with its high line indirectly leading to Cubarsi's dismissal last week.

Hansi Flick, however, does not believe his tactics make things easier for Atleti.

"I'm not worried; it's our style of play," the Barca head coach said.

"We can defend better, but it all depends on the team. Everyone on the team needs to be involved and connected, and defend as a unit.

"Without the ball, we have to close down space and be more compact; that's how we want to play football.

"There are many situations where we've done very well. And we're capable of scoring goals."
