“In Europe, little things that we have no control over could decide the outcome of a match. That’s why we’re out”.
“While it appears that we have fared far better than we did last year, we still lost to Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, and Manchester. We have fallen short of expectations.
To try again the next season, we must make a significant lot of self and try to be more competitive “With reference to recent failures in the Champions League and its inferior cousin Barca’s elimination this evening, Xavi stated.
“It’s unfortunate because the squad stood up and deserved better. They are quite strong physically. Before attempting to look ahead, “We could have dominated the game more.
“The only thing that is good is that we already have a game on Sunday and need to concentrate on Almeria and the cup semifinal on Thursday.
There are still two titles up for grabs, and we intend to win them because they are crucial for the team, he said.
