Barcelona coach Quique Setien defended his players after their 2-2 draw at Celta Vigo.

Setien rued Barcelona's missed chances as they could only draw with Celta Vigo on Saturday evening.

Iago Aspas scored a late freekick to hand the advantage to Real Madrid in the LaLiga Santander title race.

"They took a lot of risks in the last few minutes and they found a goal that gave them a point," Setien said at full time.

"We shouldn't have got into that situation because we were much the better team in the first half.

"We had to have gone in at the break with a more comfortable scoreline.

"I think [football is unfair].

"We're not in that moment of clarity.

"For example, it seems incredible that Gerard [Pique]'s [header] didn't go in.

"Barcelona did a lot of things well.

"It had to have been a more comfortable game.

"We definitely lack conviction to turn our play into goals.

"The superiority we had in the first half was enough to have won the match and gone into [the second half] with more relaxation.

"We're finding it difficult. Scoring is sometimes a question of luck."
