After the draw with Rayo Vallecano, Xavi's message that warns the players

FC Barcelona did not achieve the expected result against Rayo Vallecano in the last round of LaLiga and its fight for the championship is affected in some way. Mainly because Girona, Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid are moving away in the standings. Given this situation, the Blaugrana team seems to be positioned incorrectly and Xavi sends a warning to his players.

Terrasa's coach, Xavi Hernández, appeared at a press conference, happy with the team's second half, but frustrated by the draw. Furthermore, he has shown his dissatisfaction with the refereeing for Rayo Vallecano's goal and the penalty against Raphinha. Barcelona does not know the victory against Rayo Vallecano with Xavi as coach of the culés.

“I think there have been two parts; In the first we dominated Rayo Vallecano, but we didn't go for the game. We gave away the goal. In the second half we did what we wanted: dominate and create chances.” The coach also spoke about the possible penalty against Raphinha that surprised many. “It is a clear penalty for Raphinha. Everyone tells me, I've seen the image... it's a clear penalty. We are getting tails in controversial decisions. It is not an excuse".

Xavi's self-criticism

“If we want to win titles we have to change our mentality. We have to go for the game from the first minute. The fact of having won last year maybe, in some way, unconsciously... you lower that mentality. We have to give more to win titles.” Regarding Gavi's injury, Xavi was forceful about it. “I have told the footballers that we need Gavi's spirit and show him that we are going to fight for him. “This is Vallecas and we know what that means.”
