When asked if he would change his mind given the situation, Xavi responded, “I’ve told you that at every press conference. Nothing is different.
Barca enters the match still feeling the excitement of their miraculous comeback in Paris midweek, where they overcame a 2-1 deficit to triumph 3-2 at the Parc des Princes and earn a crucial advantage they can carry back to Catalonia.
They have won their previous five games in all competitions, but it seems like they will not be able to catch up to leaders Real Madrid, who they will play at the Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday, by eight points.
Xavi stated: “Next week there is a Clasico that, if we win tomorrow, could leave us five points behind. If we lose tomorrow, the league is over.”
Is Xavi going to undo Barcelona’s exit?
