Everyone wants to win. There are many ways to deal with it. We can all complain or we can work. The players are here to work. Let’s not look for two sides. We are all with the president and also with the coach. We can’t control the noise around the club and don’t want to think about it” Pique told Movistar after the game.(1.45) BARCELONA (4.80) LEVANTE (7.75)Barca fans have also been disappointed with the team this season.
