Xavi was reportedly pretty frustrated with his club’s midweek draw against Galatasaray. Barcelona, after a flurry of recent potent offensive performances, put in a lackluster zero-goal showing at home on Thursday.

The boss was pretty agitated during the match on the touchline, and according to reports, was also angry at halftime. Xavi said the players’ heads weren’t in the game and they were lacking intensity, saying “whoever is not here to play today, say it already.”

The coach had calmed down a bit by the final whistle but did make it clear he was not too happy with the draw.
