Xavi Emphasizes Importance of Champions League Progress for Barcelona
In anticipation of Barcelona’s upcoming Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk, Xavi outlined the team’s strategy, stating, “We have meticulously prepared. We’ve secured 9 points out of 9 in the UCL so far.”
He reiterated, “Our primary objective, as I’ve previously mentioned, is to advance to the next round and secure the top spot in the group. Tomorrow presents a great opportunity.”
Xavi emphasized the need to rediscover the team’s form, asserting, “We must regain our standard. We’re self-critical, aiming to assert our identity from tomorrow onwards. It’s crucial to recapture our winning mentality and secure victories.”
Xavi’s focus on advancing in the Champions League underscores the high significance of progressing beyond the group stage, especially given Barcelona’s history of failing to do so during his tenure.
