Barcelona head coach Xavi claimed his team lacked effectiveness in front of goal as they slipped to an El Clasico defeat to Real Madrid.
Los Blancos made the trip to Catalonia looking to extend their lead at the top of the La Liga table and they return to the capital with a four point advantage over their old rivals.
Despite Xavi steering Barcelona to the league title last season, the pattern of the game was a mirror of the two team’s styles, with Real Madrid’s experience and patience proving to be crucial.
Xavi was frustrated at full time but he admitted his players needed too many chances to secure a win in such a high pressure match.
“I think we dominated for 60 minutes. But, we need 5 or 6 chances to score and with three they scored two. We lacked effectiveness”, as per reports from Marca.
“They made us suffer in the end, but honestly, if anyone looked likely to win the game, it was us.
“Even a draw would not reflect what we saw on the pitch as we played to win. It’s hard, but our goal is to win the league and this isn’t over.”
Xavi is just been stupid,he always talk after he was been beaten,who’s fault,xavi is jst an average coach,he keep using lamen,Oriol &Lewandowski while they always failed to expectation,poor sub,poor game mgt,xavi was given all he want but tactically poor,he thought football is family affairs
