Xavi Hernandez gives high-brow assessment of Barcelona win over Celta Vigo – 'We played well'

Barcelona may have taken three points over Celta Vigo on Saturday following a 2-1 win – which saw Robert Lewandowski score twice, including a 97th-minute winner – but his performance left many fans concerned ahead of their Champions League clash with Napoli on Wednesday.

The Catalans led 1-0 at half-time, but after conceding 81 seconds into the second period, their performance levels dropped considerably, to the point that Celta felt disappointed with just one point, and none at all.

While many fans saw it that way, coach Xavi Hernandez didn't. We told the media post-match (via AS Diary) that he was happy with his team's performance in Vigo.

“I have the feeling that we played well. I think that in the last third of the pitch we were not good. We were well positioned, they generated little for us, but I am very happy because this is a very difficult place to come. They played a brutal game, they made a great effort. But we also worked hard.”

Xavi also confirmed that Ronald Araujo is fine, later he was taken off at halftime as a precaution.

“There are no injuries. We are good. We will take three points and we have to think about Napoli.

Barcelona He will certainly need to improve his performance for the midweek trip to Napoli as he aims to go far in this season's Champions League.
