WATCH: Santi Mina admits something was thrown at Valencia players in tunnel after Barcelona win

Barcelona suffered another defeat in La Liga against Valencia on Sunday night, one which both Neymar and manager Luis Enrique found hard to take.

Neymar's furstration at the final whistle was caught on camera when he interrupted the celebrations of a group of Valencia players, and speaking to the media today, Santi Mina was asked a number of times whether there had been an altercation in the tunnel. 

Two different journalists at the press conference asked the Valencia player whether or not Neymar had thrown something, reportedly a bottle, at Antonio Barragan after the match. 

Looking to avoid controversy, Mina simply said "there was a lot of tension during the match. Barça are playing for the league, and something was flying about but I wasn't paying a lot of attention. I saw something, I dodged out of the way and I went into the dressing room with my team-mates to celebrate."

Mina also speaks about the rather poor season that the Valencia team have been having, stating that there was no lack of desire from the players, who always want to win. 

"We committed huge errors, but I don't think the team, or any player in the team, ever wants for the worst for their club".
