“I’m very angry because I think we played our worst game of the season,” Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez told Movistar.  “Above all in the first half, we couldn’t move the ball around, we lacked intensity, speed, on a day where we couldn’t mess up. We did not show the passion [we needed] to win the game. In the second half, yes, but they defended well.”
