MACHÍN: 'THE TEAM NEVER GAVE UP'

Pablo Machín, Sevilla FC's manager, analysed Sevilla's defeat at the Camp Nou after four games unbeaten: 'We didn't start the match well, they scored with the first chance they had. Guilherme hit the post and we were unable to get into the game. The team played well away from home, in a very difficult ground like the Camp Nou. We wanted to stay at the top of the league but we weren't able to do that especially because of their keeper. We created almost as much as Barça but they were more clinical.'

'The team never gave up, and that is all I can ask for. This squad is very ambitious, plays a very offensive game and always wants more. Obviously, when they score four goals against you, it's difficult to take away anything positive.'
