Club World Cup: Barcelona Loss A Huge Blow For Estudiantes Midfielder Juan Veron
Posted on 20.18 by the jack
Argentinian outfit Estudiantes came close to upsetting Barcelona in the final of the Club World Cup championship, but a late goal from Pedro sent both sides into extra-time and Lionel Messi eventually helped the Spanish powerhouse to victory. Estudiantes midfielder Juan Veron was satisfied with his side's performances in Abu Dhabi, but the loss against Barca came as a huge blow.
"We were so close it hurts, but unfortunately football’s like that: sometimes it gives and other times it takes away. But our minds should be at ease because we gave our very best against opponents of the calibre of Barcelona. Over and above the pain of losing and the sadness we’re feeling, we’d like to congratulate Barcelona on their victory," said Veron to FIFA.com.
"Our performance here was very good. The sheer strength of the opponents we were up against must be taken into account. For many stretches of the game you couldn’t tell which side had all the star names. At no point did they ever feel they had the game under control. And what’s more, I dare say that if we’d been a touch more clinical we could even have scored another goal.
"I’m very proud to be part of this squad and this club, and I think the other lads should be too. Barcelona have put some great teams to the sword but we had them on the ropes in the final of a Club World Cup. I think that sums up what we did at this tournament."
