Barcelona coach Xavi: We have to play with Lewandowski more
Barça could not get the striker involved as much as they would like against Celta
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez's says his team need to play with Robert Lewandowski more after a hard-fought win over Celta Vigo on Sunday.
Pedri scored the only goal of the game in the first half, with Celta dominating after the break and coming close to an equaliser on several occasions.
Xavi felt Barça needed to "play with Lewandowski more, who could keep hold of the ball."
He continued: "We have to improve, we have to be self-critical. The first half is good, the intensity was good, we created a lot of chances and have to kill the game off. If we get the second, it all changes.
"We were not good in the second half. We let Celta press. Maybe it was tiredness, fatigue. Psychologically we dipped and they had two or three clear chances on the counter.
"It's a huge win but we have to be the team of the first 30 minutes moving forward. If we play like we played in the second half today, it will be difficult to beat Inter."
Barça now face Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday and then travel to Real Madrid in LaLiga on Sunday.
"Now I am preparing for Inter," Xavi added. "We have to savour these three points because they are important to keep us top.
"The Clasico is unpredictable. Last year we went into it badly and end up winning 4-0. We will try to win and show character like we did last season."
