Jordi Alba: This is a big blow, we must win our final five games now
The left-back spoke to Movistar after the final whistle at Camp Nou on Thursday
Barcelona defender Jordi Alba admitted the Blaugrana wasted a golden opportunity to go top of La Liga by losing to Granada on Thursday.
"It's a s--- day," he said. "We tried until the end, but we weren't clinical. It was a unique opportunity to go top and now we don't depend on ourselves anymore.
"[Granada] basically got forward twice and scored twice. I think we have to kill games off sooner. This is a big blow, but we must win our remaining five games now and see what happened.
Alba reiterated that Barca "have to sentence games sooner. We knew we needed another goal to be calmer. It's a big blow."
The left-back said the way to bounce back is "by winning the five games we have left, there's nothing else for it. We are having a good year, today was a chance to go top after everything we've suffered and it's slipped away from us."
Finally, he said the mood among the players is good and "(will continue to be) like before this game. The dynamic has been good. We just that second goal to kill off the game, it didn't come.
"We're really pissed off ... but five games to go and we have to pick ourselves up and keep working hard."
