“I think it is a deserved result. It is no coincidence that we have begun to accumulate a series of upside-down victories. This is a sign that we strongly believe in what we do.”

“We showed calmness and personality towards Galatasaray. We are not the favorites to win the tournament, we are one of the main candidates”, declared Xavi.

At the very end, Xavi also talked about the talented midfielder Pedri and his extraordinary goal that he scored.

“He is capable of such goals, even more than that. Pedri scored a spectacular goal. He was also critical, emphasizing that we lost a lot of balls, we have to be more responsible with the ball”, said Xavi.
