Barcelona midfielder Andres Iniesta says that the squad are fully behind head coach Gerardo Martino.

Andres Iniesta has insisted that the Barcelona squad are fully behind head coach Gerardo Martino.

The Barcelona boss came under criticism for his team selection in Saturday's 3-1 loss at Real Sociedad, a defeat that left the Catalan outfit three points off league leaders Real Madrid.

However, Iniesta has insisted that the players are to blame for the loss at San Sebastian, where they have not won in seven years.

"It was a tough defeat, but we're with him all the way," Iniesta told AS. "We don't have any doubts. It has to be kept in mind that he always wants the best for the team.

"At the end of the day, everyone has to take responsibility for [losing to La Real]. When you win and lose, it's the players who have to go out and play the match."

"Things happened, but it wasn't only Barca or the coaching staff there [in the tunnel]. There were a lot of people there."

A recent report claimed that Barca are preparing for the possibility of Martino leaving at the end of the season.
