Johan Cruyff: Barcelona Defeat Had To Come Someday

By Cyrus C. Malek
Analysing the defeat, Cruyff believes that Barca's problem was conceding "too many losses of possesion from the midfield and too little movement in attack", allowing the opposing team to launch quick and threatening counterattacks.
However, Cruyff was convinced that Barca will take a step forward from their loss and that it will not affect their future matches, reminding all that "the Liga leadership has not changed hands".
