Xavi: Barcelona suffered more than necessary against Barbastro in Copa del Rey

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez felt his team suffered more than they should have against Barbastro in the Copa del Rey on Sunday.

The Catalans made it through to the next round safely but were made to work hard to secure their 3-2 victory over the fourth-tier side.

Here’s what Xavi made of it all:

“We have suffered more than necessary because of our fault, because of our mistakes,” he said.

“The game gets complicated because we gave away a corner, it means 1-2 and they come out on top. For them it was the game of their life.
