Xavi Hernández: "Today we have not competed, this is our reality"
Barcelona's new coach Xavi Hernández has shown his face after the Catalan club's elimination from the group stage of the Champions League, something that had not happened for 20 years. So far the Xavi effect does not appear, and the team continues from bad to worse.
The Barça coach has shown his anger and disappointment after the game and has regretted not being able to continue in the competition. It is important to consider that the Spanish coach only directed two games in this edition of the Champions League where he achieved a draw and a defeat.
A Barcelona far inferior to Bayern Munich
"Yes, today Bayern have been much better, they have been superior to us. We have tried, we have had high pressure, but this time they subjected us. This is our harsh reality. We have to demand much more from them." You could see on Xavi's face that he was completely upset and disappointed.
" Barcelona does not deserve these defeats. There are many circumstances that have led the team to be like this. I feel responsible for this elimination. I thought and was sure that we could, but it has not been like that. Whoever tries never fails. ".
"Today has started a new stage for Barça, and we are going to work very hard so that Barcelona can get back where they deserve to be." The Barça coach has added.
A new era at Barça
The Barça coach did not want to leave this until there and that is how he has tried to send a hopeful and optimistic message to all the players and fans. In this way he has indicated that this is the beginning of a new era.
"This has to be the turning point to change many necessary things. Today the team has simply not competed. Our reality is the Europa League. We are going to face this reality with all the dignity in the world," Xavi acknowledged.
"We will start again, we are going to work to take Barça where it deserves, which is clearly not the Europa League. It annoys me a lot to have to face this reality, that our reality is this, but there is no other way. The Europa League is our reality right now, and we have to face it. It is our new objective, "confirmed the culé coach.
