The head coach of Spanish Barcelona, Xavi Hernandez, commented on his team's defeat in the 32nd round match of the Spanish championship against Real Madrid.
Xavi said at the post-match press conference:
I’m not going to say anything about the referee because I will be banned if I do but it was there for all to see. These are refereeing actions. I think the team is doing very well, we competed very well, we were better than Real on their own pitch and I think we deserved the three points in every way.
As a reminder, the meeting, which took place at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in Madrid, ended with a 3-2 victory for the hosts.
After this match, Real Madrid with 81 points occupies the first place in the La Liga standings. Barcelona is in second place with 70 points.
According to information from the AS publication, Xavi plans to take a break in his career after stepping down from his position as manager of the Catalan team at the end of the current season.
According to the Barca Reservat program on Catalunya Radio, the head coach of Barcelona will be offered a new position within the club's structure after leaving his current role.
