Eibar coach Mendilibar: Barcelona attack back to their best

Eibar coach Jose Luis Mendilibar was impressed by Barcelona's attack after their 3-0 loss.

For Mendilibar, Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez looked extra sharp after two weeks off.

"You could tell that Messi and Suarez hadn't been away with their national teams," the coach said.

"They were really fresh and were Barcelona's best two players.

"You could tell that they were plugged in from the start, with spark.

"They brought the ball out from the back really well and we had to run a lot.

"It was hard to take something away from the game.

"We did a bit more in the first half, but in the second half we couldn't create chances.

"Maybe I made mistakes and not the players."
