Quotes
"In the first half we made a lot of mistakes, it's not normal we play like this," Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said after the defeat to Osasuna.
"We had a lot of changes in the team and this is maybe one reason for that. I think it was necessary. We had so many matches.
"A lot of players had so many minutes, I have to take care about that. This is my responsibility. If you want to blame someone for this defeat then take me."
