Still positives on a night to forget for Barcelona

On the night, that wouldn’t have been the right result. The Basques deserved their victory though it does lift the spirits to see there is something about this team that promises great things.
Perhaps one of the main issues Xavi will need to address in the summer is whether the likes of Jordi Alba still deserve to start.
We certainly don’t want to see a repeat of the ‘club de amigos’ and after Thursday night’s game, Alba will need to be looking over his shoulder.
