Winner on Saturday evening on the pitch of Real Sociedad (0-1), FC Barcelona was very lucky.
FC Barcelona won on Saturday evening at Real Sociedad (0-1), with a goal from Ronald Araujo in added time. But Xavi believes that his team played significantly worse than a week ago, during the Clasico lost to Real Madrid (1-2).
“We had the chance that we didn’t have against Madrid, confided the Catalan coach to the media. We weren’t good, we suffered a lot. We didn’t hold the ball much, we lacked intensity, we created few chances and we weren’t comfortable. But football is like that, one day you don’t deserve to lose and you lose. And today you don’t deserve to win and you win. »
Xavi justifies this disappointing performance in terms of play by a sudden setback after the last match, because his team had “low morale”. “We tried to recover during the week, but we came out with a hangover from the Clásico defeat“, he explains.
Despite the victory, there are things to correct in Barça’s game. “Today we have to be self-critical about the match, not last week”pleads the Catalan coach.
