MADRID, 18 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
FC Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, pointed out that his team is in the “best moment of the season” and, therefore, can allow themselves to “dream” of titles, after beating Atlético de Madrid (0-3) in LaLiga EA Sports.
“Lewandowski has played the best game with Barça. We have played one of the best games of the season, if not the best. We are not ruling out anything, we are in the best moment of the season at the decisive moment,” he said at a press conference.
“All the players give their all and are at their best. We have all played a great game and at an individual level. As for football, we are better in defense, we don’t lose as many balls, we are more supportive. In attack we are understanding it better “We give them some guidelines that are emerging. Now we are in the best moment of the season, it is time to dream,” he added, without ruling out the fight for the League.
The coach of a Barça team eight points behind the leader Real Madrid and, in the Champions League, with a quarterfinal match against PSG, insisted that they can “dream.” “I see our team, we don’t depend on ourselves and the eight-point advantage is a lot. We have a direct confrontation with them and we are going to try,” he said.
On the other hand, Xavi highlighted the role of Joao Félix and explained that Andreas Christensen’s absence was due to “Achilles tendonitis.” “Today he played a very good game, especially when we didn’t have the ball, how he helped in defensive commitment. It was a game for him. We are playing very difficult games, with youth kids but they are prepared,” he added.
Furthermore, the Catalan coach, who was sent off shortly before half-time, pointed out that the explanation given by the fourth referee was that it was due to “the gestures” he made to the referee.
