The France international insists the Camp Nou outfit were unlucky to miss out on the Liga title to their rivals during the 2016-17 campaign
Lucas Digne says Barcelona were better than bitter rivals and La Liga champions Real Madrid last season as the France international paid tribute to the work of former boss Luis Enrique.
Barca were dethroned by Madrid in 2016-17 – their quest for three consecutive Spanish titles ended after finishing three points off the pace in Luis Enrique's final season in charge at Camp Nou.
Digne, however, insists the season – which delivered Supercopa de Espana and Copa del Rey trophies – was not that bad, as he pointed to Barca's superior statistics in La Liga while looking ahead to the possibility of more significant silverware under new head coach Ernesto Valverde.
