Ronald Koeman again complained about the arbitration, understanding that Mateu did not point a penalty to Jordi Alba in the second half.
The match: “It is a harsh punishment. We were able to have a better result, we had opportunities, we played well, we fought and the result we got was very bad. It did not reflect what was seen on the grass.
The Barca: “The team always fights. Today we play well against a very physical team. There was a penalty in our favor that we were not called. If the VAR is there, you have to call a penalty ”.
The occasion wasted by Messi: “It was a great opportunity and we found ourselves with the goal against. It was too much reward for Sevilla watching the game we played ”.
The loaded calendar: “Now there are many games, but I was impressed by the wear and tear on the team.”
Lenglet's substitution: “It was a technical decision. There are many parties ”.
Umtiti: “We have left too much space from midfield on the first goal. In the second, we did not play offside and it was not a good decision. It has had failures, like all. It's not fair to go after him. The team was good. We all lose and we all win ”.
Mateu arbitration: “It was good, but there is always the question of the penalty play. Everybody tells me what it is. I don't know why the VAR has not entered. They have made quite a few mistakes, ready. They have defended well and have a huge squad. But we were superior in the second half and there is hope for the home game ”.
Comeback: “Barça at home is capable of anything”.
Only two changes: “The team was playing well and I didn't think there was more to do.”
Possible influence of defeat on mood: “I would have signed the results we have obtained in the last matches abroad, although I would have preferred defeat in the League.”
