Xavi seemed proud about the victory, but the Spanish manager still felt some way about the media pressure on him and his players. Xavi said, "We're one of the top 8 teams in Europe. We have to be proud of what we did. It was one of our best matches this season. I told the players to stay calm, nobody was going to die today. The press were saying we were the buffoons in the Champions League, unfair criticism from journalists. Was that necessary? Are we still the buffoons?"

Xavi praised his team's performance and showed it off in his press conference. Xavi said, "Despite the results, we are actually playing better than we did last season." If we had lost today, you would have told me I was going to be sacked. Calm down; this is very long. We continue to be a team in construction. Yesterday you told me that the team didn't perform on the big stage. Now what?"

As a fan, nothing more."

When more questions about his future were asked, Xavi said, "You keep on asking me if I will stay if we win the Champions League. No, I will not. My future will not change. My response will not change. I will leave at the end of the season. Right now, it's impossible for me to change my decision. I will leave the club at the end of the season."
