Setien on LaLiga leadership: We just need to win
Barcelona coach, Quique Setien, is happy to be top of the table after their 1-0 defeat of Athletic Bilbao.
The victory takes the Catalan club three points clear of Real Madrid at the top of the table, with Zinedine Zidane’s side facing Real Mallorca on Wednesday.
“We needed to win, like every other game,” Setien said.
“It’s clear that, the fewer mistakes you make in this sense, the better.
“This means that we have three points and we have to wait to see what our direct rival does.”
Barcelona have played first in the title race each round since LaLiga Santander returned, but the scheduling is about to change.
Setien doesn’t believe the order of the matches will affect his team too much.
“Basically, it’s doing what we’re doing right now,” he said when asked about the scheduling of fixtures.
“We’re not worried about what our rival is doing, but about what we’re doing.

“We’ve taken maximum points from every game except one.
“There are things to improve, but we’re on the right track.”
