'We must be able to change' – Xavi Hernandez urges Barcelona players to use anger as motivation for El Clasico

Barcelona's season could come to an end on Sunday when they travel to the Santiago Bernabeu for the third and final Clasico of the campaign. Real Madrid have won the previous two, and if they continue their 100% record, it would leave them 11 points clear with six games to go.

Barcelona only have La Liga to contend with after being knocked out of the Champions League in disappointing fashion earlier this week. Xavi Hernandez wants his players to use the injury they feel as motivation for El Clasico, as he told the media in his pre-match press conference (via MD).

“We must be able to change the tide. Let this anger, frustration and impotence of the other day turn in our favor. We have before us a strong and morally stimulated Real Madrid after this week of the Champions League.”

Xavi also confirmed that there is no more to say about the internal spat Barcelona his teammates Ronald Araujo and Ilkay Gundogan.

“When there is no bad intention, there is no problem. It is established.”
