"Barcelona's head coach Gerardo Martino insists that the players are not to blame for the loss, but rather himself.
Yesterday in the Spanish league, the Catalans unexpectedly lost 3-1 to the team from San Sebastiano "Real Sociedad", and coach G. Martino was sent off the field for his remarks.
"I didn't prepare the team properly for this match," admitted the Argentine immediately. "Sociedad was the better team and now we need to focus on the next game."
"It was probably a mistake and we couldn't correct it when the score was already 1-1. Bringing in Xavi no longer made sense, as Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez were already on the field after the substitutions," added G. Martino.
After this loss, "Barca" allowed Madrid's "Real" players to take the top spot, now having a three-point advantage.
