Barcelona midfielder Sergio Busquets has admitted that his team are currently lacking a ruthlessness in the final third after suffering their second La Liga defeat of the season at the weekend.

Goals from Michael Krohn-Dehli and Vicente Iborra saw Sevilla record a 2-1 win over Barcelona in Seville, which has left the Catalan outfit in fourth position in the table.

Luis Enrique's side are currently without their leading marksman Lionel Messi and Busquets has admitted that there is a problem when it comes to finishing their chances.

"We need more luck with our finishing. If we knew how to fix that, we'd score more goals. The players must apply more of themselves and seek to change this situation," Busquets told reporters.

Despite suffering two defeats already this season, Barcelona are only one point from the league leaders Villarreal.
