Xavi on reaching the 1/4 finals of the CL : "Barcelona have taken a step forward"

Barcelona head coach Xavi commented on the Catalan team's progress to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

"I am very pleased. We played great, we played a complete match. The team gave their all. We dominated in many moments. I am very proud of the team.

We needed to take a step forward and that's exactly what we did. We have reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League after four years. It's time to enjoy it. We have received a lot of unfair criticism. Today it was shown that the team is ready to compete in Europe," Xavi was quoted as saying by Marca.
