FC Barcelona and Granada tied in an extremely even match in which both clubs were able to emerge with the victory. However, the culé club had one of the most important chances of the duel after scoring the winning goal, which was later annulled by the VAR. This action has generated a lot of controversy in Spain and many comment that it is certainly not the best decision.

 

“Perhaps it is the game in which we have had the most possession and also many chances. The pity was that we had to come back from 2-0 down and fight back,” analyzed the Egarense, “it was a good game in terms of play and not in terms of result.”

“The first goal is a mistake. We had talked about the pivots jumping to pressure, that they were very aggressive and it happened. The motto was clear, play face to face. And he penalized us too quickly,” the coach noted about Bryan Zaragoza's first goal. And, of the second, he pointed out that “they caught us again in a transition, we knew that Bryan was a bullet, that he went a lot to the right and that they relied on him a lot on the counters. It is not easy to stop when he is in the race.”

 

Xavi's reaction to his team's effort

However, he wanted to recognize the coach for the team's effort in trying to turn the game around. “We have been patient, calm, we have dominated. I'm happy with the reaction, but we left two points behind. At the game level, this is the way to go.” First he tells me that he touches her, but then we see that he doesn't. The referee interprets that he intervenes in the play. But who is he interfering with? Because the ball goes to the far post and doesn't bother anyone.
