"Barcelona" defender Javier Mascherano does not diminish the defeat to Athletic Bilbao club, but admits that the team should play better.
On Sunday evening, Gerardo Martino's team had to recognize the superiority of the Basque team at the new San Mames stadium with a score of 1 - 0.
"It is unpleasant to lose, nobody likes that, but let's not forget that we still lead the league", - said the Argentine after the match.
"We have to win the remaining matches this year, starting with matches against "Cartagena" and "Villarreal" teams."
"We played better than in the match against "Ajax", but that was not enough for victory. We need to figure out what mistakes we made and correct them, but there were also positive things," Mascherano said.
"Barcelona" is leading the "Primera" league with 40 points. However, the Madrid "Atletico" team has also collected the same number of points.
