Osasuna coach Jagoba Arrasate was upbeat after defeat at Barcelona.

Vitor Roque scored for Barca's 1-0 win. Unai Garcia saw red for Osasuna on 67 minutes.

Arrasate said: "In the first half, few things happened, we suffered little. The penalty was the goal and being left with ten, but even so we took risks but we had chances. Three games in which we were close but lost. The team has faith even with ten and in this scenario. A shame.

"We had to modify the change in 30 seconds. You have a thousand ideas and you have to look for the best one. The team has stepped up with 10.

"Faith is the positive, the team has tried and with judgment. It's a shame not to have been able to score a goal to seal the work with ten against eleven.

"I emphasise that we must continue, on Sunday against Celta. The players have done more or less what I have asked. They must be congratulated for their effort and faith."
