Q. Setien is looking for help from rivals: "Real" also will not win all the matches © JumpStory

„Barcelona“ coach Quique Setien hopes that after stumbling in Seville, Madrid's “Real” club will follow the same path. On Friday, the “Barcelona“ team drew 0-0 with “Sevilla“ in an away game. “Barca“ still has a three-point lead, but a win for “Real” could equalize the points ratio and move them into first position. “Real” would be in the first position due to a better head-to-head record. So, if they do not lose any of the remaining matches, the champion title will go to Madrid. However, Q. Setien does not believe in this scenario and thinks that “Real” will still drop points before the end of the season. “I don't think “Real” will win all the remaining matches. It is true that now nothing depends on us, but the situation can change quickly“ said the Spaniard. “Even before the league resumed, we knew that winning all matches would be practically impossible. I'm not saying I'm happy with the point in Seville, but it's still better than nothing“ continued Q. Setien. Gerard Pique had a different opinion, stating that it will be particularly difficult for “Barca” to win the league this season, as “Real” faces an easier schedule. “Perhaps he said that because he is disappointed in how the matches unfolded. I have no doubt that after a few days he will think differently“ responded Q. Setien to G. Pique's words. “Real” will play their match against “Real Sociedad“ tonight. Zinedine Zidane's team had already lost to the San Sebastiano team in the King's Cup earlier this season, but the latter had not won a single game after the coronavirus break.
