Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez attributed their 3-2 loss to Real Madrid on Sunday to mistakes made by his team during the game.
Despite taking an early lead through Andreas Christensen’s header, Barcelona conceded an equalizer from Vinicius Jr’s penalty. They regained the lead later in the match through substitute Fermín López but were once again pegged back by Madrid, with Vázquez scoring the second equalizer. Jude Bellingham’s late winner sealed the victory for Real Madrid.
Xavi expressed pride in his team’s performance, especially in the second half, but acknowledged that mistakes proved costly. He felt that based on their overall performance, Barcelona deserved to win, as they created more chances and defended well while controlling the game.
Overall, Xavi believed that Barcelona’s performance warranted a different outcome, but they were ultimately undone by their errors on the day.
