Xavi: 'We have competed very well. We can be proud'

"We have competed very well against a great team that is very strong at home. I've already said that the draw had not been good. They are very intense, it is very difficult," Xavi has told the media after the 4-2 loss to Athletic Club.

"We have to rebuild ourselves and compete in La Liga and the Champions League. We can be proud to compete until the end," he added.

Barcelona suffered a lot against Bilbao. Of course, this partly has to do with injuries and stuff, but the team were too error-prone defensively once again – and this is not getting fixed at all.

The Catalans have been eliminated from the second competition this month.
