Barcelona midfielder, Sergio Busquets does not believe the dispute between Lionel Messi and Eric Abidal is to blame for the club’s Copa del Rey exit yesterday night.
A late goal from Inaki Williams sealed Barcelona’s exit from the competition, leaving La Liga and the UCL as the only opportunity for Barca to win titles this season.
Speaking after the game, Sergio said the players are only concentrating on the sporting side of the club and the recent row between the Argentine wizard and Abidal was never a distraction.
He added that it was a sad result and Barcelona deserved to go through ahead of Bilbao.
His words, “We are just focused on the sporting side of things,”
“We won in the league at the weekend but it wasn’t to be today.
“It’s a sad day for everyone. We didn’t want to go out.
“We have two competitions left; we have to keep on fighting. We have to continue. Everyone’s angry. We did things well.”
“We deserved to go through, but this is the new Copa,”
“In one isolated moment, it can slip away from you.
“A fateful ending after all that happened. That’s football.
“One cross has ended up in the back of the net. We’d managed the game well; we knew how to suffer but one detail and you’re gone.”
