FC Barcelona has started their Champions League campaign was on a roll by beating Antwerp (5-0) this Tuesday evening at the Camp Nou. However, despite the XXL performance delivered by his men, Xavi wanted to curb the enthusiasm of the Catalan supporters.
“I am really very happy because beyond the result, I remember the match and the sensationsconfided the Spanish coach at a press conference. What we said tactically, about playing in the middle, was respected. That’s what we were missing. The attack was very good, we were patient… We continued to recover after losing the ball. The high pressing was good from the 20th minute onwards… These are very positive things which mean that as a coach, we say to ourselves ‘If we continue on this path, then we can be competitive in the Champions League’, but it is still too early. Coming soon. Very important matches are coming, and we will have to give everything”concluded the former Culés metronome.
As a reminder, Barça remains on two consecutive eliminations in the group stages of C1.
