Xavi Hernández is already watching the Spanish classic match against Real Madrid out of the corner of his eye and will not be able to count on his entire squad, since they are injured. In a press conference, the FC Barcelona coach said that Jules Kounde and Sergi Roberto will not be ready. The rest could have minutes, even in the Champions League, as is the case with Pedri.

The rest will depend on how they feel", were the words of Xavi Hernández, who also complemented: "We have many casualties and that is no excuse. We changed our system to find the key, we played a game to win. Much better in the second half."
