  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Barca had a 1-0 lead through Pedri and have now won just one of their last five games in La Liga. Lewandowski has now revealed the attitude in the dressing room, insisting that he and his team-mates are fuming, and are desperate to get back to winning ways.

• WHAT LEWANDOWSKI SAID

  Speaking to Eleven Sports, Lewandowski said: "I think the locker room is p*ssed off. We played a good match. It looked great in the first half, and in the second as well. Atletico created situations after our mistakes. In the last minute it was a draw, and we played as if we were losing in the final and had to score a goal at all costs."

  He added: "The season is long. We had some turmoil. With a young team, jumps in form happen. We played well against Atletico, but we lost. This is a lesson for us. We missed the icing on the cake."
