Two of our mistakes meant the 2-0 and it cost double, but we tried . In the second we lowered the level and the result was fair for Valladolid. They needed more and it showed”, he sentence Xaviwho sympathized with the players despite the loss.

We conquered the goal of the Super Cup and LaLiga, but today we didn’t give a good image. It’s natural the players are loaded, but it’s a bit sad because of the image. There are only two games left and I hope we can improve”, he added Xavi.
