'You're always gonna end up losing': Girona coach reveals what he told Xavi after beating him

"I told Xavi: 'No matter what happens. You're always gonna end up losing if they compare your Barca to Pep Guardiola's. That team is unrepeatable'," Girona coach Michel said in his interview.

Xavi's Barca were put to the sword by Michel's Girona in an entertaining game that produced six goals, with Girona winning 4-2.

The victory secured Champions League qualification for Girona who blasted the Champions League anthem from their stadium speakers at full time to the delight of their teeming fans.

As for Xavi's team, that defeat ensured they would finish the season trophyless something unheard of when Guardiola coached Barca.

However, Guardiola's days are long gone and hardly anyone expects Xavi to replicate them. Fans would rather have a Barca team that competes for their shirt and cuts out the needless mistakes that have been Barca's undoing all through the season.
