The defender spoke to Spanish TV after Barca's 1-0 defeat by Athletic Bilbao

Gerard Pique never hides. The Barcelona defender spoke after the 1-0 defeat by Athletic Bilbao to Movistar.

"We knew that we were playing at a very difficult stadium. For a while they overcame us physically and we were not ourselves.

"The defeat is good for us. Better now than at the end of the season. We're coming from pre-season, there are new players. And sometimes you prepare for games in one way and they go another. 

"In the first half we had chances although they pressed us a lot. In the second we were more in their half and I think we controlled the game. But details are details and one of them killed us in the end."
