• Chronicle. Barcelona is a disaster

The last minute draw against Cádiz was a tremendous pitcher of cold water for

Ronald Koeman

.

Even more than the humiliating 1-4 conceded against PSG and, precisely, because the memory of that match is very vivid.

"I am very disappointed, even more than on Tuesday," said the Barça coach after the 1-1 final at the Camp Nou against the Andalusian team.

"We had an opportunity that could allow us to cut distances with those who go up. It was a game without many problems, that this team should have won, due to its quality, and we have not done it," admitted the Dutchman.

"

After a defeat like the one the other day, missing two very important points to cut the gap is a lot

, but being a player or coach of this team means that you have to take responsibility and continue to show that we can still do something," he stressed.

The decisive move, from Koeman's point of view, could perhaps admit of some discussion.

But, this time, he avoided controversy, although he slipped that he will very possibly read the primer to

Lenglet

for an action that is clearly completely avoidable.

"I have seen the image, I think it is very doubtful, but it can be whistled. For a defender, it is always important to know where you are, the situation of the play. I don't know if Clément had to risk going for the ball, it could be that no, but I have to analyze the play better, "he said.

And, despite everything, the Dutchman refuses to give up the League for loss.

"I do not see it further than before, due to the difference in points that there is at the moment. It has already been seen that no team is unbeatable or that neither is going to win every game.

There are options, but we let two very important points slip away

"he insisted.

"We are to blame"

"The League is going for a long time, the distance is important, but not unaffordable. It depends more on us than on others, even if they are ahead. If we take a good dynamic, we can still have options. It is difficult, obviously, but we have to try, "

Piqué

seconded him

in Movistar LaLiga.

"We are still alive in the three competitions, although, if we are realistic it is very complicated, especially the Champions League. In the Cup, we will have some option. And in the League, more than seeing what options we can have, what we have to do is recover game and sensations. If not, although the others are losing, we will not arrive ", stressed the Barcelona center-back.

Jordi Alba

, for his part, sought self-criticism.

"There is a lot left, but we cannot let these points escape. There are no excuses. Today we had a unique opportunity to be up there and we could not win. It is a pity. We have to reconsider and improve many things because this cannot be allowed", pointed to the side on Barça TV.

"We are to blame.

This is Barça and there are no excuses

. We had a unique opportunity to be at the top and we have not taken advantage of it," the defender concluded.
