The defender spoke about conceding too many goals as Barça fight for the title

Gerard Pique celebrated Barcelona's reaction against Valencia as they came from a goal down to win 3-2 and leave Mestalla with three points.

Barça's third captain assured that, despite the "unexpected defeat against Granada, we are in the fight for the title and that was the objective."

He added: "After the poor first half of the season, being in the mix (for the top spot) is an achievement."

However, Pique complained about how easily Barça have been giving up goals in recent weeks.

"We were able to come through a really difficult fixture," he continued. "We knew there weren't going to be any easy games. The golazo from Soler meant we suffered late on.

"Recently, the opposition are having fewer shots but they're all going in. We need to analyse it. We would like to kill games earlier."
