After the victory against Almeria, Xavi points out the responsible for the club's poor results

Xavi is still not satisfied with the team's performance. FC Barcelona narrowly beat Almería (3-2) in La Liga. Dissatisfied with the performance of his players in the first half, the Blaugrana coach, Xavi, sent a strong message at a press conference.

«The first half was unacceptable, I told the players at half-time. We lack efficiency, but we must have aggression and soul. As a coach, I don't accept it. Either we run like animals or we run like animals. We can't get there. (…) Either we give everything or we will gain nothing”; said Xavi Hernandez.

Given the unexpected attitude of his players, Xavi Hernandez has been extremely clear about it. “We need to wake up. If that doesn't happen through football, it must happen through our soul. We can win. Or lose, but we need soul. Out of respect for the club and the shield, we have to give everything, which was not the case in the first half," lamented the Spanish coach.

FC Barcelona wants to be a protagonist in the Champions League

One of FC Barcelona's great objectives for 2024 is to be a protagonist in the UEFA Champions League, after it has not managed to place itself in the best possible way in previous years. To do this, they must face the current Italian champion, Napoli. The Catalan club has already faced the Neapolitans before in the Europa League, and has managed to eliminate them. However, Italians have improved a lot since then.
