Head coach of Barcelona Xavi commented on the defeat of his team from "Girona" (2:4) in yesterday's match of the 16th round of the Spanish championship.
- "Girona" has a lot of merit in its current form. They are leaders by right. Today - even more so. In this championship they took seven points from us, and it is very deserved.
Although, on the other hand, today was an equal match. If Barcelona had won, I would have said it was fair. Anyway, we had 31 shots on the opponent's goal. Perhaps, mistakes in defence were the main reason for us to lose. The game today was like a fight to the knockout: whoever strikes first will win.
But all these are details. Girona has a great team and a great project in general. It's the best team I've ever seen.
The very result of today's match, of course, is a hard blow for us because we were hoping to close the gap between first and second place. But this is the reality. We are building a new Barcelona. And when you build a team, sometimes you have to take a step back, to then make two - forward, - quotes Xavi Marca.
