      “Fresh blood is needed. We’ve have hit rock bottom now. We all need to reflect and see what’s best for Barça.
      “Coaches and players follow one another, but it has been several years since we have been able to be competitive on a European level.

      “We all have to think internally and decide what is best for the club, for Barca. Tonight was unacceptable for Barcelona.
      “It’s very hard to take but I hope it will be useful for something, for us to all think about it.
      “The club needs changes. And I’m not talking at the level of the coach or the players, but structurally the club needs changes of all kinds.
      “We must bring in new blood to change this dynamic, and if necessary, I would be the first to leave.”
