The coach of FC Barcelona, Xavi Hernandezhe referred to on several occasions during his press conference prior to the match against Antwerp to the goal in this Champions League. “The objective is clear, it is to advance from the group, then we will talk. We have to be in the round of 16, it is our main objective after two years without doing so. It is the clear objective, to try to advance as first in the group.”
In his analysis, Xavi He commented that “the first year we didn’t have enough to compete, last year we did have enough to compete but the results were not there. This season we want to take the leap.”
The Egarense coach is clear that “it is an illusion to be in this competition, last year we were biased in local competition, but not in Europe. It is the perfect scenario, it is the competition that will give us the step forward. We start at home after our best version in game and we want to give it continuity”.
Finally, he commented that “hopefully the turning point will come and we will give our best version. If we play at the level of Saturday in Europe, it will give us a chance to compete. At the level of the Super Cup against Madrid last year, too. We have to give continuity to the level of play.”
