Roura denies Barcelona crisis after consecutive El Clasico defeats

Barcelona No2 Jordi Roura insists they're not in crisis after defeat at Real Madrid.

Roura also denies fatigue is a factor.

"We're playing several games lately but I don't think it's a physical problem. At least the team played well and worked hard. Matches are won or lost due to punctual actions, but we had control.

"It's difficult to play against same opponent in a few days. They are different competitions but it's always complicated, it's always like that in Bernabeu.

"Possession against Real Madrid is very important because they play from your mistakes. We've tried to have control of the match and we've done it. We had our chances."
