Barca heads still high

AFP, Madrid
Barcelona coach Frank Rijkaard insisted on Thursday the confidence of his club would not be damaged seriously by going out of the UEFA Cup to Celtic.
The Catalan club could only draw 0-0 with the Scots in the Nou Camp on Wednesday and so went down 1-0 on aggregate.
"This disappointment is not going to seriously affect us," said Rijkaard.
"Yes, the UEFA Cup was one of the big objectives for the season. The fans, the players, the directors, everyone at the club, all wanted to stay in this competition, but you can't always win at football," added the Dutch coach.
Optimism was high because Rijkaard's men have been winning so regularly in recent weeks.
Barca have strung together a nine-game winning run in the Spanish league, the second longest in club history, to climb to third after a poor start, just six points behind great rivals Real Madrid.
Barcelona-based sports daily Sport summed up the situation on its front page.
"Without a goal and without UEFA. Only the league remains," said the paper, needing no more words to emphasis that there was only one option left if Barca are to pick up their first trophy in five seasons.
The Madrid-based media, as usual, took the opportunity to gloat at Barca's expense.
"Barca skids to a halt. The elimination from the UEFA, an embarrassment," smirked sports daily Marca, Spain's biggest selling newspaper.
The headline was a little unfair given that Barca did everything they could to get a goal and were only thwarted by the brilliance of Celtic's 19 year-old goalkeeper David Marshall.
Marca only begrudgingly acknowledged the part the Celtic's rearguard played in the result.
"The Scots only came to defend their advantage," added Marca.
The Barcelona players themselves certainly didn't believe they embarrassed themselves.
"It wasn't a fiasco. Overall, we played better football than Celtic. It just shows that in a competition like this the best don't always progress," said Barca's Dutch midfielder Philip Cocu.
"The only thing we lacked was a goal and that was because their goalkeeper had the game of his life," commented striker Luis Garcia, who had a myriad of shots saved by Marshall.
"We are going to keep on playing like this though and then let's see what the results look like, especially against Real Betis on Sunday.
