Barcelona president Joan Laporta spoke to the players in the away dressing room after their Champions League semifinal defeat last night.
Barca were beaten 4-3 in extra-time at Inter Milan, losing the tie 7-6 on aggregate. The Catalans had been 2-3 ahead on the night before an injury-time Inter equaliser from Francesco Acerbi to take the second-leg into extra-time where Davide Frattesi struck a 99th minute winner.

Laporta, after the final whistle, made his way to the Barca dressing room and told the players: "You can go out with your heads held high, the fans are very proud of you."
AS reports Laporta also stated: "We're going to do it again (in next season's Champions League) and we're going to do it even better."
