Neither Cancelo nor Joao Felix, Xavi reveals why Barcelona beat Porto in the Champions League

Barcelona beat Porto by 2 to 1 in the group stage of the Champions League, and qualified to the round of 16 of the tournament. Xavi Hernández spoke at a press conference about what happened in the dressing room, at halftime to change his attitude.

"I told the players that we had to take risks and put the ball forward. Cancelo was the free man and we found him. Balde will be important and we also have Marcos. We knew that Cancelo would have options one on one and he played a great game" , explained Xavi Hernández about what he told them at halftime.

"At Barça not all problems are solved once and for all, but today is the right day to congratulate the team and the club for qualifying for the Champions League round of 16 thanks to good play in many phases of the match," added the FC Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, about the match process.

Koundé spoke as well:

"It is a qualification for the round of 16 that must be given a lot of value. This allows us to park the Champions League, even if we have one game left. Now we focus on Sunday and Girona. There are games where you are going to play better than others. I think today was a super important game and we competed as a team," said Jules Koundé at a press conference.
