Quique Setien: My Barcelona future 'doesn't depend on me' after ‘painful' Champions League exit to Bayern

Barcelona coach Quique Setien says his future does not depend on him after Friday night's humiliating 8-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

Setien watched on in sadness from the sidelines as his side were thrashed by the Bavarians in the teams' Champions League quarter-final in Lisbon.

"This defeat, which was so heavy, and the way it was produced, have hurt me," the 61-year-old said in a press conference after the game.

"It's tremendously painful, not just for my future. I know the profession I have chosen.

"But I know how painful it is for the fans and for the club. I know what this defeat means."

And on his future, he said: "That doesn't depend on me. We have to reflect as the situation demands and look at the importance of this defeat, which is so humiliating and painful for Barcelona."

Defender Gerard Pique called for major changes after the game in a television interview and Setien said: "He is a footballer who has been here his whole life. I've been here six or eight months.

"His reflection surely has a certain truth to it, but I'm not the one to talk about that.

"This hurts a lot and Barcelona has to recover its identity and forget about this.

"I don't know if many things or a few things need to be changed, but his reflection gives some indication."
