The head coach of Barcelona considers his team’s heavy defeat in the semi-finals of the Spanish Cup unfair.
Barcelona should not have lost to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-final. This is what the head coach of the Catalan club, Xavi, said.
According to the specialist, his wards should have won at least the first half against the opponent, but did not take advantage of their opportunities.
“I think the first half should have ended in our favor. It’s a very hard defeat, it’s hard to accept. The second goal was a serious punishment for us. We still have things to learn. We played a very good first half, but did not gain an advantage.” .
I have said many times that Real Madrid is the favorite in any tournament. This is the winner of the Champions League, a great team, and we saw it.
I think we fought to the end, although we can say it wasn’t like that. Moments are important in football, but we didn’t use ours. There is a sense of powerlessness because we didn’t reach the final.
I congratulate Real Madrid, they had a great second half and fought well. If you forgive Real Madrid, they don’t forgive you.
If we win La Liga and the Super Cup this season, this defeat will not spoil a very good campaign. But this defeat does not leave anyone indifferent,” said Javi Marca.
It will be remembered that Real Madrid defeated Barcelona in the second leg of the semi-final of the Spanish Cup with a score of 4:0.
