Xavi: 'There was no penalty. It killed us'

Mundo Deportivo

"We reacted with Lewandowski's goal [against Real Madrid], but the penalty that didn't exist killed us," 

 told the media after losing the Supercopa Clasico 4-1.

Well, even if this was indeed the turning point and Real Madrid's penalty was not 100 per cent legal, this doesn't justify the way Barca played in the first 10 minutes of the game – this is what Xavi said too.

Shortly after Robert Lewandowski pulled one back, Vinicius Junior won a penalty kick for a controversial foul of Ronald Araujo. Barca never really switched back into the game after that.

Real Madrid have beaten Barcelona 4-1 in the Supercopa final.

Xavi it's your tactics your gameplan and selection that is killing us nothing else

Anthony Jackson

You need to know more about football ok. Be quiet and don’t complain if you dont knows.

Tám-Dũng Nguyễn

U guys are talking which should run wit de ball eh pls who wnt too run for ur wit de ball? dat de que 

now every body now see where we missed dembele a lot right?

Aminullahi Sodiq

But why always blaming Xavi? Barca players are playing rubbish. Roberto is the only utilities player in barca team for now

Fobam Global Cool

felix that loses balk and doesn't try to get it back? and he always avoid running, so xavi playing ferran ahead of felix I have no problem with that

👽DuDuRi👽

How many times as ferran track back coz you all just like saying he doesn’t track back how many times did vini and Rodrigo track back

S.B Adeyinka

if u loose the ball ur job is to press n try get it back but felix won't

Nothing killed us, ur tactics were fake and poor line. How can u play Ferran ahead of Felix and Yamal. Even Roberto should have come from the bench. Xavi please let us also run with the ball and stop the stationary football

Lloyd Elvis Sr.

Araujo have been playing shit ever since Bayern Munich showed interest in him

Sagio

true, at this point I don't even know if I would say sell him and Kounde

Ibim Sharon Graham

can we accept 5he 100 million for Araujo now before it's too late

Hrh Emy

as for Xavi i hope you're packing your things gradually, you should be ready to to leave by the end of the season if you ends with nothing

for me, I will completely raid the squad, they are all average

Only Cancelo, De Jong,Gundogan, Ter Stegen, Inigo and possibly Pedri if he becomes fit.

If Pedri remains injury prone I will sell him too

No no noooh remember Koeman was given some time let it spread to xavi hanendez at least he showed little as a coming new coach he may sit up after Resl Betis game

kevin ekeh

Yes Araujo and kounde Christensen Roberto and Romeu are far behind and beyond their expectations we need solid back defenders pls xavi and Deco take note

One thing as an advise to Fcbarca team stop dribbling or tiki taka games when loosing from any team strikes the ball get enough goals then wining you can then start your dribbling or tiki taka

That was a clear penalty Mr. Xavi.
Accept everything that happened, Araujo has been shit lately

Obyno jude

Araujo has been poor lately the penalty awarded was the right decision xavi should just accept is flows

Wen he come bring u guy from 8 to trophy contender last 2 season and also won 2 trophies in his first full season u didn’t say is bring us down ooo 😡😡very dull fans😡😡

i wonder how u wnt him too win yesterday wit those bunch of players😡

BarcaFOREVER

Sadiq. It's a pity you're so myopic about the game of football. Look my friend. I get am before no be property. Get that into your head. That Xavi won two trophies last season does not mean he's winning presently. Bro we need result. We need consistency in the team . From the look of things Xavi's style of play is not working for us so forget about the trophies he won last season because luck was on his side

Louis ikpomwonsa Edosomwan

Lollll😂😂😂😂

u guys are just too funny

Even pep who we all know is de best coach now sef need too spend almost 150m for mancity every season since he was appointed in 2016 b4 he won dem their first ever champions league.

Arsenal were able too stay top 4 every season since last 2 years thanks too pep apprentice MIKEL ARTETA who make dem realize dat nowadays football need money even though u have de best tactical plan too win games.

last season madrid were not able too catch up wit us Bcus their president stick too their old players and now dis season wen dey know Bezema absent will really affect dem a lot dey broke de bank too splash almost 120 on only Bellingham dat can disputise himself as Bezema successor, which is now really helping dem now.

Am not just saying Barcelona problem now is all Bcus of money but my main que is, if u are a coach and u ask ur players too do dis and u found out dat wat u ask dem too do they are not even capable of doing half of it and u really know wat u are asking dem too do can bring possible results, who owns de problem there is it u or de player dat can’t play ur tactics?? 

Ferran and Ralph are not Barcelona type of players it is highly time will accept dat and kounde BALDE Felix are not consistent which we dnt even hv better players too replace dem and money too buy another players and u are expecting xavi tactics too come out how pls??? 

Dull fans.

Sadiq, you say we are all dull, how do you know the players are not doing exactly what Xavi says. 

The 4-1 lashing your team received yesterday, whose idea was it to play a high back line when the tactic itself was dead on arrival❓

Since you're the bright culer, tell us why the players carried out Xavi's formation and still got embarrassed in Arabia?

Why don't you face it! We are in a crunch financially. We've gone to extreme length just to get the team competitive. 
Why do you still blame our current woes on lack of finance when it is something we can't change at the moment. 

Girona didn't spend 30% of what barca spent after leveraging economic levers and the club's asset and look at their team. 

Shrewd Business is the goal now. We can't keep blaming it on lack of funds. it just shows we are not ready to force our way out of the mess we find ourselves. 

You're not that bright as you would like us to believe with this "blame it on our finances" approach you have taken.

With Xavi as coach Barcelona is certainly going down the drain
