Quique Setién, Barcelona coach, explained at the end of the match against Osasuna (1-2) that his team "aimed to win all the matches after the coronavirus break, like Real Madrid", but that they lacked "that necessary energy" to achieve it.
The Barcelona manager, in statements after losing La Liga, also lamented that the team had left the field "down even in the matches we won" and admitted: "we have not been able to find the path to victory".
About the match against Osasuna, he explained: "we have been much superior and we have had control of the match, but they have scored two goals and that has decided the match".
"We have put the opposing team in their area, but we have not scored the goal chances", he added.
"I hope to be against Napoli, but I don't know", Setién replied when asked if he sees himself on the bench in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16. "We have improved since we arrived, but it is evident that there are things that have not been done well. Although sometimes the difference lies in something as simple as accuracy in front of goal", he said.
And he stressed that he is "capable and with energy to lead the team in the Champions League". "I am sure that we will be a different team, that we will have changed emotionally and we will face the tournament with all guarantees. I cannot control more than that. I exhaust myself in what I have to exhaust myself", he emphasized.
