Xavi: “The field was not in the best conditions”

Xavi Hernandez spoke after the first leg of the quarterfinals at the Frankfurt. These were the manifestations of him.

What analysis do you make of the match?

They came out like demons on the counterattack and they have complicated us a lot. The pitch wasn’t in perfect condition either and it didn’t make our game any easier. They jumped very well under pressure, especially inside. The Camp Nou has to be a pressure cooker and we are satisfied with the result.

They have received enough and have generated little.

Normally, the team that proposes tends to arrive more but we have not been able to stop their cons and it has been complicated for us. We had already warned that it was a tough team. This is Europe and there are no surprises. Everything gets complicated.

The goal itself was a great goal.

Yes. A combination of Ousmane, Frenkie, Ferran. It was already difficult Naples, Turkey. They are a very physical rival and well worked in transitions. I hope it’s a pressure cooker. We are satisfied with the result.

How is Pique?

It takes time with discomfort and today it has suffered. She has left with discomfort. Let’s hope it’s as little as possible.
