The heart of Barcelona’s defense, Gerard Pique,
considered that the arrest of the Spanish league leaders
is no longer in the hands of his Catalan team, after
a draw on Seville, on Friday, in the thirtieth stage.
After two successive wins after returning from a three-
month hiatus due to a new outbreak of the Corona virus,
Barcelona lost its first points, and its rivals Real Madrid
are able to equal with it and seize the lead with the
difference of direct confrontations, in the event that they
beat Real Sociedad sixth.
“Looking at our last two games, I think winning
the league will be very difficult. I don’t see where
Real Madrid will waste points! This tie will put us in
a position where winning the title will not be in our
hands,” said Pique, whose team hopes to win the title
for the third year.
But Barcelona coach Kiki Seten analyzed Pique’s
statement differently, responding to him: “This is due to
frustration. I am optimistic. I think winning all the
matches will be difficult for everyone.”
The coach, who replaced instead of Ernesto Valverde,
added: “We must have self-criticism of some things,
but we also have to highlight the good things that we
have done.”
“I warned against that. Things are not dramatic. There
are a lot of points. I noticed that Valencia created many
problems for Real Madrid. This League is very balanced.
Now our direct opponent has to play and win, which is
not easy. But I remain optimistic and this is my nature.” .
