Barcelona defender Gerard Pique urged calm after their shock defeat to Deportivo La Coruna.

Depor shocked Barca 2-1, just days after their amazing victory over PSG in the Champions League.

Pique said: "We dominated at the beginning and had control. Their goal took its toll on us. The equaliser was a morale boost, but their second goal was too much. Depor were really good.

"But everyone connected to Barcelona would have signed up to comeback against PSG and lose to Deportivo.

"That is sport. We're not machines. After Wednesday's effort it made it difficult to compete. We have to congratulate Deportivo, they're deserved winners."

He added: "Logically this defeat is a step back in our aspirations to win La Liga but it's clear that we can still turn things around. There are a lot of games to go and we've seen that everyone is dropping points."
