Barcelona suffer the first defeat of season in Primera

Despite the defeat, FC Barcelona stay top of the league table with the same 40 points as Atlético Madrid, who beat Elche on Saturday 0-2

Without the injured Lionel Messi, Barcelona can’t find their game and his injury is a big blow for Gerardo Martino’s team which has won once and lost twice since Messi suffered a left hamstring injury.

Despite the first defeat in Primera, FC Barcelona is still the main candidate to win the title, so if you bet online, you can place the bet on Barca to win the Primera with the odds of 1.57.

The Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets said that this game had nothing to do with the one at Ajax. “Two losses have come in a row, but we have to keep going forward. Sure we made mistakes, but we also did things well. We played a good, wide-open game against a great rival that knew how to pressure us.”

The next match Barcelona play at Cartagena on Friday in the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.
