Xavi: It's a good result for us in Frankfurt
The coach was happy with the score in the end but not the overall performance
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez said the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt was “a good result” and “nothing is easy in Europe”.
The coach was not that satisfied because the team did not attack well or stop Eintracht’s transitions.
“They were a difficult opponent as they showed on the counter, they made it hard for us, harder than we expected, it’s true.”
He also complained about the pitch which was “not in perfect condition”.
He said his team could not play their game because “they pressed well in midfield, so we generated less than usual”.
On the return, Xavi added: “Camp Nou has to be a pressure cooker for the opponent, like this ground was for us. We leave satisfied with the result.
“It was a great goal, pure talent from the players, Ousmane, Frenkie, Ferran, I insist, I’m satisfied with the result because it was a very difficult ground and opponent to face.”
