After the draw with Valencia, Xavi made it clear that his team is one of the weakest in terms of performance in Europe.

“We have to demand more from ourselves, we have such a long way to go. We are losing too much, we are not meeting the expectations of the fans.

We obviously need more inspiration, we lack the confidence to score goals. I believe in the team, I am positive, but the dressing room is disappointed with the results.

We had a lot of chances, but we couldn’t score the second goal. It is not only the fault of the attackers and efficiency, but also luck is not on our side”, – Xavi, coach of “Barcelona”.

Until the end of 2023, Barcelona will again play at home with Almeria.
