The mood in Barcelona's locker room was gloomy and miserable. Guardiola desperately tried to boost everyone's morale. It was a different story in Nottingham Forest's locker room.
"Well done, guys!" Kerslake had taken on Tony Twain's usual job in the locker room. He had to continue to motivate the players with words, while Dunn was responsible for explaining the tactical arrangements.
The players were as happy as the coaches. They were pleased with their performance in the first half. They had almost completely blocked Barcelona's offensive. They had the upper hand in the game, and had even scored a goal in the final five minutes.
Everyone sat down and started discussing Barcelona's predicament during the first period. They had a cheerful discussion.
