However, Xavi regretted that the Blaugrana-Barcelona’s nickname- failed to match the game of Carlo Ancelotti’s team at the beginning of the first half. If only Barcelona was hot from the start, he judged that Barcelona would 100 percent win the game.
“We controlled the game, except for the first 20 minutes. At that time, we played complicated,” Xavi said after the match, launched from Mundo Deportivo, Thursday (13/1/2022).
