Bayern Munich 2-0 Barcelona: Xavi's reaction

 



Xavi: "I'm upset, we had a golden chance to win here."

On Lewandowski not score today

"Lewandowski did not score today, Pedri also got two chances, and Raphinha shot from outside the area, we are proud, but the result is disappointing and unfair."

Proud of the team?

"I'm disappointed, a painful result. Most of the match we played better than them. We lost 3 points. We won individual duels and created many chances. It's surprising we didn't score. This is football. Happy with the team's level, but the result is painful."

"Today was the day of scoring goals but we lost 2-0, you can say they are a ready team and we are still at the beginning."

"We were better than Bayern for most of the match. Today we could've won, the goals conceded were due to mistakes we made. They scored, and we lost."

Lewandowski not decisive in front of the goal today?

"We made mistakes, we all did. These are things that happen. Sometimes you lead 3-0 in the first 20 minutes, and today we didn't score a goal in 90 minutes, even though we were three-quarters of the game in the opposition area."

"The result is bad, the performance is good, but the result is bad. We have to eliminate mistakes. Today there were two mistakes, a corner mistake and a mistake on the counter that they scored from."

On Dembele's penalty


"The referee told me at halftime that the shot was not a penalty kick. I asked him to be honest, but he told me it wasn't a penalty."
