Playing at home against Galatasaray in the round of 16 of the 2021/2 Europa League, of course, is a big advantage for Barcelona. However, Xavi Hernandez’s team could not use it well.
Because when playing the match for 90 minutes, the Blaugrana failed to score and ended the match with a score of glasses aka 0-0. With this unsatisfactory result, Xavi also admitted that he was disappointed because he could not achieve positive results.
However, the coach with the Spanish passport also gave credit to Domenec Torrent’s side who have managed to make things difficult for Barca, in an attempt to find the net from Inaki Pena.
“Our attacking game didn’t look good. However, Galatasaray did look phenomenal, they didn’t let Barcelona score goals,” Xavi was quoted as saying by Football Espana.
