Clément Lenglet, Barcelona defender, spoke to the press after the victory in Ipurua and said he understood the reasons for the postponement of the Clasico.
Barcelona won after a difficult week against Eibar and Clément Lenglet, starting alongside Samuel Umtiti in the centre of the defense, commented on the victory and everything that happened during the week in Barcelona.
"We played a very full game from start to finish. I'm very happy," said the defender in the mixed zone.
There were questions to the Frenchman about the 'Clasico', which finally will not be held on 26 October: "The problems in Barcelona made it better to move the match, but the decision is of those who rule in the League and Federation. We don't decide anything".
And he went deeper into the subject, he said that he does not care, as he is willing to play against Real Madrid at any date. "I want to play the 'Clasico' on any date. We should not be looking for excuses to see who it benefits, we will play when we're told to", he pointed out.
Lenglet, of course, did not want to talk about the situation in Barcelona after the sentence of the Procés: "I do not understand this issue. I've been living in Catalonia for a short time and I don't have much of an opinion".
Finally, the central acknowledged that it was the best game away from home of Barcelona this season. "I think it was the best away game for the result and how we played. Eibar hasn't had many chances and we have," concluded Lenglet.
