Barcelona striker Luis Suarez: We gifted Depor chances

Barcelona striker Luis Suarez insists there's no excuses after their defeat by Deportivo La Coruna.

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

"I think we gifted them some moments at the end of the first half and that's football," Suarez said.

"When that happens, [the opposition] don't let you off. They're playing to stay up and we knew it was going to be really difficult.

"They pushed, scored... but there's a lot of things we have to improve. Some days you win, today we lost."

However, he didn't feel it had anything to do with the PSG game and insisted that the league title remains a target.

He added: "No, the PSG game didn't take its toll. We had enough days of rest to be able to recover.

"We're not going to give up in the fight for La Liga. When you win you're not the best and when you lose it's not a dip in form."
