A disappointing draw for Barça in a crazy match against Granada (3-3) in a game that could have gone either way and where Xavi Hernández, without success in the end, introduced offensive weapons like Raphinha or Marc Guiu. However, the Barça coach has shown disappointment for letting two points slip away and has acknowledged that “defensive errors are killing us”.
Furthermore, in a match that had started off well with the first goal by Lamine Yamal, Xavi lamented, “we have to go for the game from the first minute, especially when you’re ahead on the scoreboard.” The coach reiterated his concern about the repetition of defensive errors that are costing us many points.
“In attack, we generated a lot, but the glaring errors in defense give us the point difference with Madrid and Girona. It’s an insufficient point,” he assured. Regarding the team’s morale, he explained, “the players are angry, like all Barça fans. It’s a missed opportunity, and we haven’t been at the level. It’s a step back.”

Asked about the team’s goal in the league, which becomes very complicated after falling ten points behind Real Madrid, Xavi asserted, “the goal is not to throw in the towel. We don’t consider the league lost, but we know it’s difficult.”
And if it’s difficult, he repeated, it’s because of the permissiveness in defense. “The day against Villarreal, you concede five goals, today three… it’s difficult if you want to compete and win things. We had two very good matches. We had worked a lot on defensive aspects, which are what’s defining our season.” Anyway, it’s a missed opportunity, and we have to try to focus, as soon as possible, on the next match next weekend in Vigo against Celta.
