Barça did well this Sunday evening against Celta Vigo (1-0). A short success after a complicated performance, especially in the first period where the Blaugranas suffered a lot. Referring to the matches “every three days” and the international break which may have hurt the legs, Xavi drew up the analysis of the meeting.
“We dominated and overpowered Celta in the first half, very well, but in the second we lost intensity. We need to be more consistent. We ended up suffering… And the fatigue of playing every three days is taking its toll. If you don’t finish when you’re much better than your rival, you end up suffering. »
While Marc-André Ter Stegen was the big guy in the game with decisive saves, Xavi nevertheless wanted to calm the excitement.
“Two weeks ago you said there was Lewandowski’s addiction, now it’s Terstegen’s addiction, maybe in a few days it’s Pedridependencia…”
Before returning to the big anger of Raphinha. According to Xavi, the Brazilian was furious at the missed penalty for a foul on him late in the first half. Which would have allowed Barça to switch with a break at the break.
“We had to calm Raphinha down in the locker room. He was very angry with the referee and told me it was a clear penalty. But hey, today, it’s not because of the referees. »
to summarize
After Barca’s narrow win over Celta Vigo, Xavi said he had to calm down a furious player at the break. Indeed, Raphinha did not digest at all a penalty not whistled just before the end of the first act.
