“The team responded well,” rejoices Xavi

Barça coach Xavi praised the reaction of his players after the setback in the Clasico and underlined that his team delivered a good performance against Villarreal (3-0).

«We had a big game. We had to react. It was not easy after a lost clasico in Madrid. There were many expectations, a lot was expected of us. The team responded well, with character, intensity, realism in front of the cages and a very good defense. We scored three goals for the team that had conceded the fewest goals this season in La Liga. We had to make some changes because there was fatigue and we needed to recover from the defeat. And on Sunday, there will still be changes. Everyone needs to be focused, no matter who is playing. (On Lewandowski) He is insatiable. He always has a sense of purpose in mind. It’s a killer. He sees the angles, he’s smart, he looks for the right spaces… He’s a great attacker».
