Xavi’s message to Barcelona players after Inter Milan draw: “Let’s go for La Liga”

On Wednesday night, Barcelona suffered their biggest disappointment of the season so far by succumbing to a 3-3 draw against Inter Milan.

Considering Barça put their long-term future at risk by prioritizing short-term success by activating several economic levers to fund their summer business, a potential exit from the Champions League is a hammer blow to the club.

However, it has been revealed that Xavi has been encouraging towards his players after a game to forget.

As per a report by SPORT, the Blaugrana boss met his players before training on Thursday to analyse his side’s display in the disappointing draw.

However, the club legend tried to encourage the group and informed them about how he was satisfied with how the team performed in the first half, as they had implemented the tactical instructions to a tee.

This is not to suggest that Xavi was positive throughout his discussion with the players, as he did reproach his players for the two individual errors that led to Nicolo Barella and Lautaro Martinez’s goals.

The legendary midfielder emphasised the lesson that making such avoidable errors in games is bound to cost them in the Champions League.

Xavi also told his side to maintain the excellent levels they have showcased in La Liga in particular, as his message to his players is to go all in to win the Spanish top-flight title this term, saying something along the lines of “Let’s go for La Liga!”

The 42-year-old manager also reminded his side of their incredible 4-0 win against Real Madrid and how they must replicate the same standards in the upcoming El Clasico on Sunday.

Xavi’s message to his players was also to maintain their foothold in the La Liga title race till the World Cup while leaving behind their disappointment in Europe.
