Messi will equal Xavi
” It’s an incredible number of matches. That he equals Xavi in number of matches is amazing. You also have to look at how many titles Leo has, goals … Everything is great with him ”.
Punch of the Athletic one
” I don’t like talking about other teams. We have to look at ourselves. You have to play tomorrow and win. That first. They, for example, also lacked effectiveness yesterday, they had the game to win and that has happened to us. It’s a very strong team and we have to fight to the end. ”
PSG
” The level of the other day, with a strong team and in their field, if we have more effectiveness is the maximum that can be asked for. If we analyze this season where we have lost unnecessary points, it has often been for not having the effectiveness that a team like Barcelona must have. For example, when the comeback, 6-1, they didn’t have as many opportunities as us. ”
Message to the template

Everyone wants to be and it shows on the field, especially the energy of the matches. It’s amazing how the computer is physically if you look at the data. We have improved in the ballless game and tomorrow is also a tricky match. Huesca is last, but it is not an easy match. He will come, he will play. it will put pressure and you have to be very mentalized ”.
future
” This team has a great future because it has a lot of quality and we have changed things. It is the path we have begun, which is not yet finished. It also depends on the elderly. There is a lot of talk about young people, but we must also highlight the quality, dedication and energy of the elderly such as Leo, Busquets, Alba, Sergi Roberto, Piqué … in general the team has a great future ”.
They arrive better than Atletico and Real Madrid
‘It seems so, but we have the experience that it is not easy to keep up with this rhythm of matches, of quality … the important thing is to go game by game. Today the sun rises, but tomorrow it may rain. We must continue with energy, be humble and follow this path. You need to focus better on one than looking at the others. All teams have highs and lows and those with fewer lows win the championship ”.
Rumors of his departure from Barça
” If I have to answer the names of players or coaches that a journalist took out … there is no need. It is a media issue. You have to fill the pages every day, which is not easy. I have a contract, we need to improve a lot and keep going ”.
