Ex-midfielder of Barcelona Xavi pointed to the difference between his former team and Real Madrid, and also analyzed the match of the Madrid against PSG.
In the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid beat PSG 3: 1. For many, this result was a surprise, since the Madriders are experiencing problems in the domestic championship, and the Parisians - on the contrary, spend a good season.
"Did PSG play bad?". Did Real Madrid play badly? Not really, "- said Xavi sofoot. com.
"The difference between these teams is that Real Madrid can win matches, playing badly or just mediocre. Barcelona does not know this either, for example ".
"When Barcelona plays badly, it loses if it gives out a mediocre match - plays a tie. Bars need to play well to win. We can not change our philosophy ".
"And Real Madrid - he's different. Was he better than PSG? For me - no.
But Real Madrid does not care whether it plays better, dominates the match or is dominated by the ".
"The philosophy of Madrid is to win. That's why Real Madrid is so difficult to break - they can play in different ways. For example, at the Bernabeu PSG played as Barca. When Emery released Meunier instead of Cavani, the Parisians really controlled the match. But in a match against Real it does not make sense, if you do not use your chances ".
The return match between the teams will be held on March 6.
