FC Barcelona ended their Champions League group stage campaign in very disappointing fashion, losing 3-2 to Royal Antwerp on Wednesday.
The Catalans’ performance was very mediocre, which will undoubtedly increase the pressure on coach Xavi Hernandez, already in high demand after the defeat against Girona last weekend. He gave his opinion on the match at the microphone of Marca.
“The feeling is not good. We were unlucky, starting with a 2-2 draw. We could have gotten more. We are in a bad situation.
“I’m worried, that’s normal. The team is not comfortable. We are in a bad situation, we have had two negative results. We must be critical of ourselves. We have to improve. The opposing team creates chances, but we struggle to do so. We have to improve and know that we are not in a good place.
Xavi also spoke about Oriol Romeu, who was responsible for Antwerp’s first two goals.
“We have to give Romeu confidence and encourage him. »
FC Barcelona will have to bounce back next weekend, when they face Valencia at Mestalla, which will be another very difficult test for Xavi and his players.
