Barcelona lost their first La Liga clash since all the way back in December of 2021 on Monday evening.
Barca would take on Cadiz in a league tie, looking to bounce back from their Europa League exit at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt last week.
However, when all was said and done, the Catalonian outfit lost 1-0 and their already slim title hopes are now dead in the water.
Now, following that loss, Xavi Hernandez has come out and suggested Barcelona have to improve if they want to qualify for the Champions League: “We have to be humble because we haven’t achieved anything… We have to improve our game in order to qualify for the Champions League.”

Xavi added: “When you win 0-4 at the Bernabéu, it’s logical that you say things like Barça is back… But I’m telling you now that we’re making mistakes, that we must have more faith and desire. We have to be a more competitive team.”

Barcelona vs Real Sociedad
Barcelona’s next outing comes against Real Sociedad on Thursday evening.
Barca head into the game sat second in La Liga, just three points above 5th-place Real Betis
And whilst they do have a game in hand on the rest of the Champions League-chasing sides, such a small gap between four teams means Barcelona have little room for error in their remaining league games this term.
