What a nice sight to see Xavi with a smile on his face again.
And to see culers singing and dancing with joy, celebrating a vintage Blaugrana performance on the biggest stage in football.
It wasn’t so much that Barcelona beat Napoli, and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. By Barca standards, this is the bare minimum expectation every season.
But the way that they did.
This wasn’t a classic tiki taka display, in fact Barcelona had less than 50% of the possession. But there was a confidence and creativity on the ball that hasn’t seen all season long.
