In a La Liga match this round, Barcelona defeated Osasuna 2-0 at home. After the game, Barça center-back Eric García accepted an interview with the media.
On the important victory
“Yes, this is a very crucial win. We knew before the game it would be a tough one, similar to our Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. The opponents mainly rely on counterattacks, and our passing rhythm was a bit slow, but amid such a tight schedule, the most important thing is to get these three points.”
On whether there was a lack of energy
“Absolutely. When facing a team like Osasuna, if the ball doesn’t circulate quickly enough, they will try to seize any minor mistake to launch an attack. It was difficult, as we saw – there was almost no space.”
On the importance of the three points
“Very important, because it allows us to have a relaxed Sunday and widen the points gap at the same time.”
On Pedri
“When things get tough, pass the ball to Pedri – he can solve everything.”
