The Barcelona coach spoke about the medical emergency that delayed the Cadiz win
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez spoke after his side's 4-0 win over Cadiz, a result which was overshadowed by a medical emergency in the stadium.
The match was delayed by over 50 minutes as a fan was treated following a heart attack, with medical eventually able to stabilise him and take him to hospital.
Xavi spoke about the scare and the game:
Emergency: It was not a nice situation for anyone. Health and people's lives always come before anything else. Luckily they were able to revive the person and they are healthy and safe. We felt, both teams, that it was right to restart the game. We hope the supporter recovers quickly. If it had gone another way, we would have suspended the match.
Worries: There was a moment when they told us there was nothing they could do, we were hearing a lot of things. In the end, it's a humanity issue. We are talking about human life and it has to come before football. Among everyone, we tried to help and we hope they are OK."
Winning: "It was an important win at a difficult place to come. We created a lot of chances, dominated the game and it's three points to keep in touch at the top of the table."
