Xavi Simmons was a youth player for FC Barcelona for many years. The young man, barely 20 years old, was called to be the new Xavi or the new Iniesta, when he was in the FC Barcelona academy, however, the Blaugrana club did not have the necessary patience and removed him from the club.

Xavi Simmons shone once again for RB Leipzig this season. The Dutch midfielder has six goals and seven assists in just 16 games for the German team. Today, he scored against Red Star, while Barca lost lost by the slightest difference against Shakhtar Donetsk in the group stage of the Champions League and with this they could lose the lead at the hands of Porto, who has their match pending against Antwerp. Xavi came out very upset by the bad game his players played and he knows that he cannot count on Marcos Alonso.

These were the words of Xavi Hernandez after the defeat: "We are in a low moment of play, of losses, of how to have the ball, of how to attack. It is one of the worst games I remember in recent years. We have not achieved it. "We are in a bad moment. We have to recognize it. It's a shame, but we have to continue."

In addition, the coach added that the match against Porto will be fundamental in the objective of qualifying first. “We depend on ourselves and the next game is at home against Porto. There we can achieve it mathematically. Recently we played very good football. It is a mental issue. Neither physical nor game. We are blocked.”
