Martino: Better once we equalised

Tata Martino was pleased with his Barcelona side after they came from behind to beat Sevilla on Sunday evening.

Alberto Moreno had given the Rojiblancos the lead, but goals from Cesc Fabregas, Alexis Sanchez and two from Lionel Messi gave the Bluagrana all three points.

And the Coach admitted that he was delighted with the way his team performed after going 1-0 down.

“We’re aware that we’re at a crucial part of the season, the match could have been tied up 2-2 but we managed to control the end of the match,” he told a Press conference.

“You have to know when to choose to be direct and when to have more possession. We played poorly for the first 20 minutes, but once we equalised we played better.

“When the pride of the best player in the world is hurt, the next opponent usually suffers, and that’s what happened.

“Being first brings tranquillity, now the game starts to see who doesn’t fail.”
