Xavi: 'We played good football'

Speaking after his team managed to keep their 100 per cent home record alive with a 1-0 defeat of Sevilla, Xavi Hernández said “I think we attacked well and played some good football. We deserved more goals and we're going home with a good feeling."

Fermín López particularly impressed when he came on for the injured Raphinha. “I think he's a great player" said the coach. "He can play with both feet, he is strong in the one-on-one and has it in him to be a Barça player for many more years. He had a great game."

There's a huge game tomorrow between Girona and Real Madrid, who are now second and third but have this game pending. But Xavi says he won't be watching. "I have a birthday to attend tomorrow so I won't be able to see it" he said. "But I'll be keeping an eye on what happens. In any case, today's win is the only part that we can control. We did our part of the job."
