Xavi hails Barcelona’s ‘small advantage but big victory’ over PSG in Champions League

Barcelona coach Xavi was understandably thrilled after seeing his team beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 in France in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

The result gives the Catalans the advantage ahead of the second leg at Montjuic next week, and the Barcelona coach admitted it was a great night for his team.

“It’s a big win, of course, playing away in the Champions League means it’s big to win. We did really well, especially in defence, but tactically we did really well. The wingers helped us a lot,” he said.
