Xavi Hernández expressed disappointment following Barcelona's 4-2 defeat against Girona, highlighting the team's struggles this season. Despite feeling satisfied with their performance in the first half, Xavi lamented the lack of clinical finishing and costly errors that led to their downfall.
Barcelona took a 2-1 lead at halftime through goals from Andreas Christensen and Robert Lewandowski, but Girona fought back with goals from Artem Dovbyk, Miguel Gutiérrez, and a brace from Portu in the second half. The defeat marked Barcelona's first loss in both league games against Girona this season, conceding a total of eight goals in those matches.
Xavi emphasized that despite their superiority in games against Girona and Real Madrid, the results did not reflect their performance on the field. Barcelona's season has been marred by inconsistencies and missed opportunities, leading to a trophyless campaign.
With their hopes of finishing second in the league and securing a spot in the Spanish Super Cup now uncertain, Xavi urged his team to compete better and strive for improvement in the remaining matches. Barcelona faces a tough challenge in regaining momentum and finishing the season on a positive note.
As they look ahead to their final four games, Barcelona aims to bounce back from their recent setbacks and end the season on a high note. Despite the disappointment of their recent defeat, Xavi remains determined to push his team to give their best effort and strive for a strong finish in the league standings.
