Touré Yaya could not hide his regret after Barça were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Valencia on Thursday, but believes the squad is ready to play for the title and the Champions League.The Ivory Coast international recognised that the cup elimination was a hard blow to take for the team: "We did not play the game that we needed to in the situation," he explained. "We came back too late in the game and we are conscious of the mistakes that we made in the match when a draw would have been enough. It is a difficult situation for the team, but we have to lift our heads and go for the other two competitions that we are still in." All to play for With the domestic title and the Champions League still to play for, Touré is confident that Barcelona can learn from the Valencia defeat and make a real push to win a trophy. "We can win both competitions, but it will be difficult," he said. "There are still a number of games in the league to make up the gap. I think that we have options to win both, but we need to turn the page and keep going."
