Xavi : “Hatustahili Kucheza katika Ligi ya Mabingwa” Barcelona
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez confirmed that his team's qualification for the round of 16 of the Champions League has become very difficult, following a 3-3 draw with guest Inter Milan in the fourth round of the group stage, as all expect the team out from the Champions League. Speaking in his post-match press conference, he admitted: "If you don't beat Inter at home, you don't deserve to stay in this competition."Last season we didn't have enough to compete, but this season we did. This time it was our mistakes." Xavi added: "I'm very disappointed, sad, frustrated...I'm angry. I have to be self-critical; we don't deserve to play in the Champions League. It hurts me, but it's the truth." About facing El Clasico, Barca coach said:”It’s a very hard blow, but we have to recover to try and beat Real Madrid at the Bernabéu." Regarding the level of Pique and Busquets, Xavi said: “I am responsible, the first half was amazing, we cannot blame any player, we are a team, I also make mistakes, everyone makes mistakes, we fought until the end and we have to continue working.”
Xavi added: "This was due to our mistakes, we let it slip away."
