Xavi spoke about how the players are slowly improving after his announcement of leaving the club at the end of the season. Barca have three wins and one draw since Xavi's announcement.

We have been talking about conceding a goal in the first few minutes of the second half. It all comes from concentration errors."

Xavi continues to talk about the performances and feels confident about the Napoli game. Xavi said, "I have good sensations ahead of Wednesday's match. The team's attitude was very good. We're improving as a team. The squad is very united; you just have to see how the players celebrated the goal."
