FC Barcelona fell 3 to 2 against Antwerps, on the last date of the group stage of the Champions League. Xavi Hernández is the big name and the fans dream of the return of Pep Guardiola to steer the ship, since they see it as very difficult for them to reach the final stages in the European tournament.

Guardiola has always been clear about it and when he was asked about FC Barcelona he mentioned that he would like to return. "If they call me I'll go, it's my house," he said in January of this year. Right now Manchester City doesn't play anything and that's why they open the doors for him to leave them.

For his part, Xavi Hernández at a press conference mentioned: "The defeat that hurts us is Sunday's in Girona, not today. We are in the round of 16 of the UCL after two years. All this will change by winning on Saturday in Valencia. The bad feelings may be on the outside, but nothing inside. From within the club we are all fine."

"We have to give confidence to Oriol Romeu. The season started well, but today was not Oriol's night, like the whole team, but he has a level... I'm worried, it's normal. The team is not comfortable. We have two negative results, "We have to improve. We have to be critical of ourselves. The objective was achieved, we are in the second round and first," said Xavi.
