Quique Setien admits Barcelona ‘didn’t have a great game’ against Espanyol

Quique Setien admitted Barcelona were far from their best on Wednesday in their 1-0 win over Espanyol in La Liga.

Luis Suarez scored the only goal of the game in a match that saw both teams finish with 10 men after Ansu Fati and Pol Lozano saw red.

Barcelona’s performance was in stark contrast to their win at Villarreal on Sunday, and Setien admitted it had been difficult to break down Espanyol.

“We didn’t have a great game. We found it very difficult against the defence Espanyol had,” he said.
