"Losing today is tough, but winning the league is most important"

Barcelona playmaker Philippe Coutinho, almost the author of a hat-trick against Levante, admited the Valencia side were better and deserved their 5-4 win on Sunday. 

"The sensations are great," he said. "After winning league, we had chance to end season unbeaten. That's what we wanted. 

"Losing today is tough, but winning the league is the most important thing. We played against a difficult side who were really focused, they deserved to win." 

Coutinho scored Barça's first two goals and almost had a third, but his shot took a deflection of Luis Suarez and the goal was given to the Uruguayan. 

"Most important, as I always say, is the team," he added of his goals. "Today, we didn’t get the win, so it’s not a good result. We all leave with bad sensations, but have to look forward. 

"We have one more game at home, it will be Andres [Iniesta's] last game. We will all be focused on playing well and giving him the goodbye he deserves."
