Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman spoke to Movistar after his side dropped two points in the title race, drawing 3-3 at Levante.
“It now depends on the results of the teams around us, whether we win this league or not. We lacked intensity in the second half. We were superior in the first half. Leading by two goals, we then let the game go. Levante surprised us by scoring three goals, they’re fighting for their lives down there. We relaxed too much. We were 2-0 up and conceded three goals in 45 minutes, it’s not good enough. We weren’t at our level and have to analyse tonight’s game. It’s a gigantic step backward.”
