After almost losing in a terrible match, Xavi Hernandez gives explanations to the fans

FC Barcelona won by a miracle. Barcelona played a sad game against Alaves, because from the first 20 seconds they were already losing the match, and although they managed to come back, the reality is that they did not leave a good feeling.

“The team has not been bad, but it is the result of the nervousness that is generated from outside. They were tense. There is excessive criticism. It's unfair," said Xavi Hernández in the subsequent press conference. And he shifted the blame for the poor results to the “mental block.”

On Gundogan's mistake: “Gündogan loses a ball that, normally, he would not lose. This creates a situation of instability in the team, and you have to row twice as hard. We are giving away too many errors in this stretch of the season, which causes a situation of insecurity”

Xavi's last words:

“The second part is the Barça that we all want. I think we did well for half an hour. I have come convinced that we were going to improve, but the improvement has been minimal. We need to demand much more from the players. Winning without being good shows that the team has character and faith.”
