Xavi: “I understand that people sing about champions, but we can’t rest”

It was a victory that put the League on track and was celebrated as such. He also lived a great life Xavi Hernandez at his first Classic at home. The coach remained cautious after the victory, although he could not hide his great satisfaction. “I understand that people are singing about champions, but we cannot rest. The final script has been perfect for us”, admitted the coach, who surrendered to the public and his players. But he added: ” We don’t feel like champions, although this is evidence that speed is important.”

“We must not forget where we came from. Last year we were 12 points behind Madrid and now we are at 12. After the Bernabéu we got 15 points from Madrid”, recalled Xavi, who also emphasized the great season accumulated by Barcelona in the League. “We only lost 10 points and that means that we are working well. We are very solid in defense. We have been a well-rounded match, we have played a great game”, he did not fail to highlight. “This is a wonderful achievement. We like this result. We are really happy and we want to celebrate with the fans. It’s a good day, a good day to celebrate this result,” he said.

In addition, he seems to have healed a lingering wound: Bayern’s 0-3 at Camp Nou, where the fans did not stop cheering. “The public was there in the days of Bayern Munich and now they deserve it. The unity and solidarity between the team and the fans is very important. We are family”. And he judged: “Today was one of my best days as a culé”.

As for his players, he couldn’t help but congratulate them repeatedly in his speech. “I think the result is fair. I am very happy with the effort, everyone is working and everyone is running”. And he added: “One of the keys is that we have minimized losses. We have not given transitions. We have created a mature, responsible party. We have dominated in many phases”, analyzed the one from Terrassa.
