Barcelona got put back in the semi-finals, after they lost their place as leads when they lost 3-2 to Saudi Arabia.
Lionel Messi has regretted his mistakes at the match – the Catalan club came to the second place of the Supercopa and Athetico Madrid took on the first place.
“It is a shame, we played a great game, after so long we felt good again, we were in control, dominated and attacked all the time,” Messi told reporters in Jeddah.
“We let it slip through certain mistakes when [Atletico] were already almost dead, in less than 10 minutes they turned round a game that we should have seen out.
“It hurts because it is a title and we wanted to be in the final and win it, we showed a different side to what we have been showing recently against Espanyol and at the end of last year, we played a good game but sadly we couldn’t get the victory.
“We have taken a step forward today despite the defeat but we are aware that we have not been doing things the way we want, we do not want to make these childish mistakes again.”
