FC BARCELONA v CD LEGANÉS | december 15, 2024 - post-match interview

"I think we didn't start the game with the intensity we should have, we conceded that goal very early and from there they get into a low block, they try to close us down from between the lines, but I think we had chances to win a game, we have to have that conviction to get there and score a goal and I think we didn't have it today and the truth is that it's one of the worst defeats. We have to improve many things." "I think that the 5% that we give extra in the Champions League we have to give in La Liga. I don't think we're at the level we're playing in the Champions League. In La Liga we lowered the intensity a little, and it's clear that any team can beat us. Las Palmas are coming, Leganés are coming, and they take points from us at home, we can't allow that. We are Barça, and we have to win every game."

Do you think you have enough solutions or resources to attack teams that play with low defensive blocks, or does it become too difficult? And could playing more on the wings provide better options?

"Yes, I think so, we'll see better in the video because live it's difficult to see from the inside, but well, I think we still had chances, in the first half we had three or four clear chances that we have to score and these are things that we have to improve, give that extra that we give in the Champions League and finish the chances and score goals. After all, yes, if you don't score goals in football, it's impossible to win a game."

Is there more anger, especially after the draw from Madrid in Vallecas?

"Well, I don't think we have to look at Madrid or Atlético, it's true that when they lose and draw everyone wants to win, but we have to look more at ourselves who have a bad streak in La Liga, and we have to give the level we are giving in the Champions League."

After this loss, will you go into the game against Atlético like it's a final?

"Every game is important. They are the same three points that we had lost here and if we had won them it would be worth the same. So we have to go out like every game to win it and stop thinking that it's a final, for us all games are finals."

🗣️ PEDRI: "It was a fucked up game. We started the game without concentration and we didn't manage to get a goal. We have to enter games better. It's clear that we created a lot of chances, but if you don't score goals, you can't win. It's fucked up because we wanted to win in La Liga, we are on a bad run, and we have to change this now. It's many games in a row but it's not an excuse. Arrive and finish. If you don't score a goal, it's impossible to win. I am angry."
