"Barcelona" team strategist Quique Setien was satisfied with the team's performance after losing the match.
"Barca" lost to Bilbao's "Athletic" team at the very end of the match and said goodbye to their chances of competing for the King's Cup trophy.
The Catalans more or less dominated throughout the match against the Basques, but their opponents were repeatedly saved by the fantastic performance of goalkeeper Unai Simon.
"Everything went well, except for the final result", said Q. Setien after the match. – It's sad to lose, but I think we took a step towards where we want to be and how we want to play.”
"I can take a lot of positive things from this match, and that matters to me more than the result", continued the strategist.
Q. Setien was partly supported by Sergio Busquets, who agreed that the team played a good match.
"In the second half, we created 4-5 good chances to score. Their goal came at a time when we didn't have time to recover.
The second half of the match was good - we played the way we want to play. However, we paid the price for not scoring when they started to feel insecure in defense,” explained the defender.
