Barcelona coach Setien: Bartomeu whistles won't effect players

Barcelona coach Quique Setien urged fans to get behind the club after their 5-0 rout of Eibar.

Amid the online PR scandal, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu was whistled before kick off, but Setien made clear that his team are focused on footballing issues.

"[Whistles] do not add pressure at all," he noted.

"[Barcelona] are a team that are interested in competing and playing football.

"You are always aware of what is happening.

"The reality is that what really matters is to prepare the games well and to go out to the pitch and to work during the week.

"All the media noise can't be controlled.

"Each one is as he is, of course.

"The important thing is to isolate yourself."
