Busquets admits Barca's season is now over

Knowing only a win would do at the Camp Nou, the defending La Liga champions conceded an injury-time equaliser when Angel Lafita headed home in second-half stoppage time, effectively ending Barcelona's title challenge.

The Catalans, already out of the Champions League and Copa Del Rey, have only won one trophy this season and Busquets conceded his side's league fate is now all but sealed.

"I guess the Liga is over for us now," he told reporters after the match.

"We should learn from this for the future."

"We feel bad," the 34-year-old said.

"We didn't live up to the expectations this season.

"We have to be self-critical and start all over next season."
