Barcelona head coach Ronald Koeman came in the rescue of Samuel Umtiti after the he made errors on both of Sevilla's goals in Thursday's Copa del Rey match.

Umtiti has struggled through a difficult time at Barca recently, making just 18 total appearances last season as he battled injury and poor form.He has now started in five of Barca's last six matches in all competitions as he looks to rebuild his Camp Nou career. Defending to Umtiti,  A website quoted koeman as saying,""We left a lot of space in the first goal, not just in defence, but from the midfield.And in the second goal, we have not done a good job creating the offside. Umtiti was good in the game. He made mistakes like everyone else does. It is part of football. It's not fair to go after him. We all lose and we all win together."

Barcelona will take on Alaves in La Liga on Sunday before a much-anticipated Champions League last-16 first leg against PSG on February 17.
