Sylvinho Rues Loss Of Winning Streak

Although Barça formally sealed qualification to the knockout rounds with their 1-1 draw against the Swiss side, they passed up the chance to keep their excellent winning run going.

The Culers had won the last eleven competitive matches in a row, rendering them the only side with a 100% record in the Champions League - until tonight, that is - and the leaders of the Primera División.

Veteran stopper Sylvinho was clearly disgusted with the fact that this record had come to an end, although he stated that complacency against minnows Basel was not the root cause.

"We knew that this game would be tough, even though our fans didn't believe so after we won 5-0 over there," he told Marca.

"The Champions League is a difficult competition."

He went on, "We're really annoyed at having ended our run of victories.

"But, there's still a lot of work to come."
