Busquets insists Barcelona style hasn't changed

Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has dismissed criticism of the team's style of play.

Busquets insists Barca are still playing the same way under coach Tata Martino.

"The style of play is not up for debate due to the type of players we have. From that perspective it's almost impossible to compare with previous years - due to players, opponents, and things that could be achieved before. It's impossible to match", he said.

"Conclusions are drawn after a loss. You need to think, have internal debate and improve for the next games. It can still happen again despite talking about it - football isn't like maths. Conclusions have been drawn, we have talked about things and examined the situation.

"The style is more or less the same. It's not that it works better to play with one player or another on the side. Sometimes you need to change. There's a lot of space and there are teams that bide their time to play on the counter attack. It's harder to keep everything covered."
