Xavi makes curious claim after Barcelona’s win over Celta Vigo

Barcelona coach Xavi made a surprise claim after seeing his team grab a late win against Celta Vigo in La Liga.

Two goals from Robert Lewandowski, including a very late penalty, secured a welcome win at Balaidos for the Catalan giants.

Xavi reckoned after the game that if his team had taken more of the chances they have created this season they’d be top of the table.

“If we finished our chances more, we would be the league leaders. They showed me the Big Data statistics recently,” he told reporters.

Instead, Barcelona are seven points behind leaders Real Madrid and have played one game more.
