Osasuna’s manager, Vicente Moreno, naturally has good memories of Barcelona’s beat. “Almost no one thought we had a chance, but we played a big game,” he recalls.
“Everyone was at their best and, in key moments when they usually capitalize, they were not as clear or things are simply aligned in our favor.
“These types of teams and players do not distinguish – which is why they are at the top and occur at the level they do. Every three days, they come out everything, whether they are faced with the first place team, the last place team or an intermediate team.
“They must win, want to win and are always ready to play. So we cannot focus on anything else; We must give our best and be to our highest level. If one or two players are not their best, it gives too many advantages to a team like Barcelona. »»
