However, Barcelona is actually being hit by an internal problem.

Eric Abidal's statement blaming a number of Barcelona players for the sacking of coach Ernesto Valverde received a response from Lionel Messi.

El Barca immediately appointed Setien moments after firing Valverde.

"This incident did not affect me," Quique said.

"We talked about this for a while, then we discussed the match, how important the match was."

"I'm interested in football, that's what interests me."

"Everything else, I can't control it, so I don't want to be tired of worrying about it," Setian added.
