Whole Barcelona team to blame for the draw, says Busquets

Who agrees with him? Or do you think some people particularly should take the blame? And who are they for you? Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets sought to share the blame across the whole team after they were held to a 2-2 draw by Sevilla on Saturday.

The Catalans had won nine consecutive games heading into the clash with Unai Emery's men and went 2-0 up in the first half thanks to strikes from Lionel Messi and Neymar.


But Sevilla completed a rousing comeback on home soil, with efforts from Ever Banega and Kevin Gameiro causing Luis Enrique's men to drop two points, and Busquets credited the hosts for preventing them from instilling their usual dominance on proceedings.

"At the end it was not possible to win," the 26-year-old told Canal Plus. "Controlling games is our philosophy, but Sevilla pushed back against our attempts.

"The whole Barca team was at fault for the first goal they scored, it was a team mistake. We were just not able to get three more points.

"There's still a hard calendar ahead of us. We are two points ahead of Real Madrid still, it's only one match over them essentially, so we need to keep adding points."

Barca are back in action on Wednesday when they travel to Paris Saint-Germain for the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.

The duo have clashed already at Parc des Princes this season, with PSG having come out on top in France prior to Barca's win back at at Camp Nou in the reverse fixture.

Laurent Blanc's side claimed their second piece of silverware of the season on Saturday as they won the Coupe de la Ligue final 4-0 against Bastia.
