Barcelona coach Quique Setien did not hold back in his criticisms after watching his side flirt with disaster in Ibiza.
"I did not like the team. I would have preferred things another way," he told reporters after the final whistle.
"But in a stadium like this, it is harder. They were aggressive and intense in defence. It has not been easy.
"I would have loved for us to have been more precise and to have played better. But from here we will take away conclusions for the future.
"It is when you do things badly that you can improve."
Without the injured Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi, who was rested for the fixture, Setien chose to field Ansu Fati at centre-forward.
But the young star was starved of service, with Barca mustering just three shots on target across the entire 90 minutes.
"I give Ibiza a lot of credit, they played a great game. It was not easy for us," he added.
"It was very tough. They also went a goal ahead, which makes things harder.
"The first thing we are doing is seeing the players in different positions. [Fati] has a lot of talent. We will see how he progresses. He will get more starting time as long as he keeps developing."

A coach should be given more time like atleast 2 to 3 years...look at Klopp he gets 5-7 years in each club and improves them..so...seiten should not be judged on a single performance...we should give him time.
