Sergi Roberto: I don't care who are favourites, we have to win the game

The right-back won the penalty which Messi missed

He's hoping to turn things around in the second leg

He was one of the Barcelona's best players in the first leg of their Copa del Rey quarterfinal against Espanyol at Cornella-El Prat, but Sergi Roberto left the pitch with bittersweet feelings after a 1-0 loss. 

The versatile played admitted that Quique Sanchez Flores' players "pressed a little more" and called on Barça's fans to drive them on in the return leg next week. 

"In the first half we had some good chances, but in the end they pressed a little more and we leave with a defeat... but it's nothing to worry about. Now we have to think about the league game at Betis and then the return leg will come," Roberto said. 

Sergi Roberto didn't want to talk about favourites, despite being 1-0 down: "I don't care who are considered the favourites, we have to go out to win the game and progress in the tie."
