Eidevall on the defeat, lessons learned and more

Jonas Eidevall suffered his first defeat as head coach on Tuesday night, as we were beaten 4-1 by Barcelona in our group stage opener.

It was a frustrating evening against the reigning champions - but our head coach believes that it was a valuable experience and learning curve for his staff and players.

Eidevall faced the media after the final whistle and here’s what he had to say:

on the decision to change our front three early in the second half…
It was a scenario we had in mind before the game but you have to keep your options open when you play the game but at that time of the game we felt it would give us a bit more energy and helped us to press them with a bit more intensity.
