Xavi on Barcelona’s win at Real Betis: It was a great performance

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was full of praise for his team after Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Real Betis at the Benito Villamarin.

Goals from Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski sealed all three points despite an own goal from Jules Kounde setting up a nervy finish.

Barcelona now move eight points clear at the top of La Liga, leaving Xavi a very happy man indeed.

I think we played really well. I would say we were excellent in many phases of the game. We could have sentenced the game with Ansu’s header to make it 3-0.
