'Everyone at Barcelona wants to show that the 8-2 against Bayern was a major accident': Pjanic

Barcelona are in high spirits ahead of their return to the La Liga action.

"The training sessions are very intense and organised.

All the players are concentrated, and everyone wants to show that the 8-2 against Bayern Munich was a major accident," Miralem Pjanic told L'Esportiu.

The Bosnian was able to join his new Barcelona teammates only last week as he contacted coronavirus after his departure from Juventus.

"I felt sad for having joined the team later, due to COVID-19, but I'm happy to be here now. I'm improving day by day," Pjanic added.

"I'm currently staying in a hotel and I hope to find a house soon. The city has impressed me a lot, positively, because I didn't expect it to be like that."

The 30-year-old featured in Barca's final pre-season game against Elche over the weekend and could make his official debut for the Blaugrana in Sunday's La Liga clash with Villarreal.
