"I try to be fair and objective and I don't reach for excuses when my team loses. It's obvious that if you play on Wednesday, you shouldn't play on Saturday. It's obvious that other teams have more control over the fixtures than we do, but we are talking
about top professionals and they showed a lack of mental strength, ambition and spirit of sacrifice".
Barcelona were able to grab a 4-0 victory over Levante on Sunday.
