Xavi: 'Without playing badly we picked up a bad result'

After falling to defeat in the Estadi Olímpic against Girona, Barça coach Xavi Hernández analysed the events out on the field against Míchel's side in his post game press conference. 

Finishing and defending key to the defeat

"I think we had the better of the game, we created a lot of chances. Without playing badly we picked up a bad result." 

"We have to work on our defending and finishing. We lost because of that. We have not taken our chances and in defence we paid for our mistakes." 

"It's a blow as we are 7 behind Girona and 5 behind Real Madrid, level with Atlético. But that's the reality, this is a Barça team in construction and that means moving forward and back. I think this is the way to go, no doubt, we will keep working." 

Míchel's Girona

“I am in no doubt that Girona are the best team who have come here”.

"The win is credit to Girona, Míchel's work with his players is spectacular. It was a tight game, if we had won we would be talking about a fair result."
