In Spain, Barcelona are the culprits to the upset making round this week after experiencing many in the English Premier League.
Head coach Xavi, during his post match interview, said that his side didn’t play badly, yet they picked up a bad result after the 4-2 defeat suffered at Girona last night.
Resilient Girona raided Barcelona in a six goals thriller match to go seven points clear of the defending champions at the Estadi Olimpic. They secured their first-ever victory over Barcelona—a tremendous result that has seen them lead with 2 points at the summit.
“I think we had the better of the game, we created a lot of chances. Without playing badly we picked up a bad result.”
“We have to work on our defending and finishing. We lost because of that. We have not taken our chances and in defence we paid for our mistakes.”
“It’s a blow as we are 7 behind Girona and 5 behind Real Madrid, level with Atlético. But that’s the reality, this is a Barça team in construction, and that means moving forward and back. I think this is the way to go, no doubt, we will keep working.”
Xavi also applauded Girona’s manager after their effort:
“I am in no doubt that Girona are the best team who have come here”.
“The win is credit to Girona, Míchel’s work with his players is spectacular. It was a tight game, if we had won we would be talking about a fair result.”
