"We have not given a good image. We created many expectations and we did not win. We needed freshness, but it is the first game at a difficult stadium. In any case, it is not the time to be moaning," said Rijkaard.

"It is difficult to select my team. Everyone talks about which attacker I?ll leave on the bench, but for me to choose between four attackers, four midfield players or five defenders is equally painful. To leave Henry, Deco or Marquez on the bench, like Sunday, for me has the same importance."

On Barca's 'Fantastic Four', Rijkaard added: "I'd love to see them play together, but we must wait for the right moment. In today's football, balance is crucial and we must be careful when thinking about that."
