We played less than 72 hours ago. It was very hot, the pitch dried very quickly. And the players didn’t have more freshness to have intensity throughout the match. We played a lot of matches, with a lot of fatigue, and a lot of players who play a lot of minutes. Leo (Messi) also probably has to rest . We talked about it, but if we had managed to fold the match earlier, no doubt other players would have joined the bench to blow, “said Setién in a press conference.”This is not a drop in football regime. When you are tired, you lose more balls, you make bad decisions,” added the Catalan coach.Next match for Barça, Thursday at Camp Nou, against Osasuna. Still with Messi?
