Xavier García Pimienta spoke after the defeat at Montjuic against FC Barcelona: "It was a very tough night. To concede five goals, even against a great team, always hurts. In the first 20 minutes, until the penalty, it was what we wanted, and we also created chances. We then fell apart and at 3-0 the game was over." 

"We wanted not to concede in the second half, to stay in the game.]. We were more direct but the game was already settled. We didn't defend the free-kick for the fifth goal well either. What can't happen is to lose our composure after going 1-0 down because the game lasts 90 minutes. A lot of things can happen and it will always allow you to stay in with a chance," he said. 

"Ejuke is injured, he felt something in his hamstring. We will see how long he is out for. Suso is not as serious. He wanted to come off to not risk it and Pedrosa we believe is just fatigue," he said on the injuries. 

On Idumbo, he said "he has been in and around the first team but has not played more because of the performances of Dodi and Ejuke. He waited patiently and was rewarded with a goal. He has to keep improving."
