Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal said his side were distracted by their upcoming Champions League quarter-final decider against Manchester United after the runaway La Liga leaders could only draw 0-0 at struggling Huesca on Saturday.
Barca coach Ernesto Valverde made 10 changes to the team that had beaten United 1-0 in last week's first leg as well as handing three players their La Liga debuts. The unfamiliar team failed to break down the league's basement club. Despite the draw, Barca are well on course to lift an eighth Spanish league title in 11 years after beating nearest challengers Atletico Madrid 2-0 last week, and Vidal said Wednesday morning's second leg against United was their priority.
"I think everyone that was playing today was thinking about Tuesday's game, just like the guys who stayed at home," said the Chilean.Barca's imperious domestic record is in stark contrast to their recent failures in the Champions League, where they have failed to get beyond the quarter-finals since winning the competition in 2015.
