Now the field work has finished and the dispatch work has begun, which is the most important,” he said. Said the Barca coach. “It’s reality, it hasn’t reached us. We are Barça, we can’t spend another year in white”; he has added he.

“We have to change things, many things. We have to be realistic, we cannot hide reality”
