Athletic - Barcelona 4:2 Video of goals and review of the Spanish Cup match After the completion of the game, Blaugranas head coach Xavi commented on the performance of the powerful team.
" We stood up well to the miracle team, as they play very hard at home. I just told you after the foaling that we were not spared with our opponent.
We could have scored a winning goal if Lamin Yamal had a couple of chances in the main hour. We can write to you, what we have been trying to get rid of.
Cause damage? Rejection of concentration and individual preparations. We knew about the Sunset ruin on the other line and allowed him to come to our penalty.
We did a good job of analyzing the group of opponents before the match, but did not implement the best scenario for us.
I am writing to our youth, but if we talk about the strengthened view of the team against them on the other half of the field, it is important to get insurance for the subbag.. This was wasted today.
Skoda, we flew, and we tried with all our strength. Let us leave the fields with our heads held high, we played, importantly, with the young men in the warehouse. If I’m calm, the most important titles are still ahead,” said the Spanish fajivet.
Basque Athletic will play the next match away from Cadiz as part of La Liga.
