Andres Iniesta says Real Madrid were a fair title winner
He said the win over Eibar was bittersweet and that now it's time to change chip
Iniesta says Barcelona will be focusing in the Copa del Rey from now
"It's a bittersweet victory. We did what we had to do by winning the remainder of our games, but there was a team that was a little bit better than us and it is the fair winner," said Andres Iniesta after Barcelona beat Eibar 4-2 but finished second to Real Madrid in La Liga.
"It's just talk. We didn't win the championship. The league is over. We weren't as consistent as we needed to be to win the title. We fell just three points short, but that was all it took."
"At halftime, we found out that Real Madrid was winning but we had to go for the victory just in case."
"It's (Luis Enrique's) farewell at home. I think that everybody is thankful for his time here. There is one title left on the table that we have to win next week to finish the season in the best way possible."
"We were able to get the victory to bring us as close as possible, but when you don't depend on yourself it's a big handicap. We were very close to being better than the champions."
"When you don't reach your objectives, it's not a good feeling. We fell one step short regarding the consistency we have had in other seasons. The team tried hard, even when we were losing 2–0 today."
"We can't think about anything else other than finishing the season in the best way possible — by winning a title."
