Toni Freixa, the spokesman for the Barcelona board of directors, made some surprising comments on his Twitter account at the end of the game at the Nou Camp: "There are few reasons to celebrate the way the team played. We can congratulate ourselves on the result and highlight Pinto, who was once again at the level required of him."

His tweet was later deleted and replaced by the following message: "It is a long season and we still have good chances in all of the competitions. We're confident and excited. Long live Barça."
