Ronald Koeman expressed his pain that his team, Barcelona, failed to take advantage of Atletico Madrid's loss and ended today (Sunday) in a 1-1 home draw against Cadiz.
The Colchoneros lost to Levante yesterday on Saturday and the Catalans, who were able to close the gap to six points from the summit, kicked the bucket again and looked bad.
"It's disappointing, we have to win games like this and we did not do it," Koeman said after the game.
"This is a great opportunity that was lost after Atletico lost points. I am very disappointed. More than last Tuesday we lost to Paris. We could not let both points slip away. We are disappointed."
The Dutchman added: "I do not want to talk about players individually. We did not stand up to the attack and we had to defend differently. In terms of quality we had to win. When you do not increase the score, you leave opponents a chance to equalize in the last minutes. The other, get involved. "

Gerard Pique added of his coach: "It was an opportunity we had to take advantage of, because Atletico Madrid and we knew we could close the gap from it. But what happened happened, and now we have to stay with our heads up. "The league depends more on us than on our rivalry. In every game you do not win, the chances go down. The gap between us and Atletico is big, but it is not indelible."
