‘Ten out of ten’ - Xavi hails Joao Felix and Inaki Pena after Barcelona beat Atletico

Xavi was a happy man after seeing Joao Felix score the only goal of the game as Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid on Sunday in La Liga.

The Barcelona boss singled out Felix and goalkeeper Inaki Pena for praise after seeing his players secure a crucial three points.

Here’s what the Barcelona boss made of it after the final whistle.

“The players stepped up their game. I’d highlight the deeper pressure, the good circulation of the ball, a midfield where Gündou011fan, Pedri and Frenkie understand each other to perfection, the tight defensive line, Raphinha and Lewandowski working so hard for the attack,” he said.
