DBasia.news – Pique and Quique Setien, have different views about the chance to become LaLiga champions 2019-2020 after being held by Sevilla. If Pique seems resigned, Setien is full of confidence.

Barcelona failed to earn three points after only ended 0-0 against Sevilla in the 2019-2020 LaLiga match at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium on Saturday (6/20). Barca failed to undermine the tactics of Sevilla who play hard.

Real Madrid will lead the standings if they defeat Real Sociedad. Despite having the same points, but Madrid is superior in head to head.

“A draw left us in a position where we no longer depend on ourselves. It’s hard to imagine Real Madrid losing points, but we will give everything and try to win it.”

Gerard Pique’s expression got a response from Barcelona coach Quique Setien. According to the manager, Pique was frustrated.

“I think Pique’s words came from frustration. I am sure his thoughts will be different tomorrow. I am sure Real Madrid will not win all matches,” said Setien.

“Opponents will always provide resistance and Madrid will have some difficult matches. We no longer depend on ourselves, but must remain optimistic.”

Barcelona will continue with hosting Athletico Bilbao on Wednesday (24/6). At the last meeting in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona defeated with 1-0.
