After two goals from Ferran Torres and Fermin Lopez, Barcelona seemed to start complacency against Shakhtar Donetsk. They lost all motivation and missed a series of opportunities, only to have the gap shortened by the Ukrainian representative.
Although they won 2-1, thereby accumulating 3 more points in the Champions League group stage, coach Xavi Hernandez still felt that the final score could have been stronger. After the match, the Spanish coach spoke, quoted from Barcauniversal:
“This was a match where we were considered winners and the club faced a difficult opponent. The team complicated themselves. We were not effective enough to win comfortably. best”.
Barca should have had a bigger victory.
“We deserved to win 4-1 or 5-1. But this was one of the most physical matches since I led Barca. Overall, I’m happy.”
In addition, Xavi also updated the situation of Joao Felix, who left the field in the 75th minute. He confirmed that Felix was not injured and could be ready to play El Clasico this weekend.
