What has been said?
Although Barca still have two games left to play this season, Busquets believes the title may be out of reach because of their latest slip-up. The league is practically sentenced against us, he said to There are few options left, it will depend on what our rivals do, but there are very few points left, he added. It was our fault. In recent games we have dropped a lot of points to be able to fight for La Liga. We leave with bad feelings because we had a difficult time. We wanted to put pressure on but it was not to be.
