final tie between Barcelona and Girona that the visitors celebrate as a victory and that the culés feel like a wasted opportunity to sentence the League but that, thanks to Madrid’s setback against Villarreal, allows them to increase their difference with the whites to thirteen points. “Months ago we would have signed with blood to be in this position,” he assured Xavi at the end of the match, rejoicing more for the point harvested and that allows Madrid to be placed thirteen than for the two lost due to an unexpected draw.
«I am not worried about this tie, what worries me is winning the League. we are in very good situation. We have tried, we have played a correct game, we have had many chances to score and win the game against a very good team. We lacked success to get at least one goal. I think the victory was deserved. If we stay with the result we can’t be positive with one point at home, but we are 13 points behind the second with 10 games to go. You have to change the dynamics, but now to rest and prepare for the Getafe game,” explained the coach, who assured that he does not suffer from a short squad after having to place Jordi Alba winger: «I have said many times about the squad that I am very happy. When we were eliminated from the Champions League, we already said that the main objective was to win the League and there we are. We were missing the last pass and Jordi has that capacity. We have used him for that but in the end we have tried in every way and he did not want to enter the ball today ».
The man from Egar was optimistic: «When you don’t win and even more so at home, the opportunity to get within 15… we are at 13You have to look at it in a positive way. We would have signed it and in blood as well. And he praised Girona’s approach: “In the end what we wanted was to readjust in some way. We knew that they put Arnau inside, Ansu had to follow him there, Santi Bueno was left alone, Iván Martín opened up on the wing… they work very well getting the ball out. But if we do the summary of the game, I think if we had scored a goal even before the break it would have changed history.
The coach already has the match against him in mind Getafe this coming weekend. «We are going to find teams like this, who are risking their lives. They told us that this point is beastly. They are going to play a lot. Next week we are going to Getafe, they are risking their lives. This team drew at the Bernabéu, it’s a great team. You have to give value to this League, it costs a lot. We are going to Give value People want to see this League in a different way but it has a lot of merit to be where we are, “said the Barça coach.
Busquet’s analysis
Sergio Busquets analyzed the match and the causes of the tie. «In the first half they had more of the ball and they put players inside but we had clear chances to open the scoring. It was difficult for us to finish or give the last pass, “explained the midfielder. Busquets assured that Barcelona has not lost tension: «Our objective remains the same, to win the League as soon as possible. We have a thirteen-point margin but we don’t want to lose it. And if Madrid leaves points, much better. and he defended Lewandowski despite the drop in his effectiveness in recent months: «In the end our idea is that of the whole team. We are all in the same boat. We must continue, we have taken one more point of advantage. Next week we will have a very demanding game at Getafe’s home.”
On behalf of Girona appeared David Lopez, Considered the MVP of the match. “It is a very difficult field, a team with great ease to score goals and it is difficult not to fit in but we have played a very complete game and we have known how to suffer,” explained the former Espanyol player, who added: “The only but that I would put at the team is that we have not scored but we have had a very clear chance but if you do not score in these fields… We have had a great game ». The defender is pleased with the good position of his team in the table: «We did not expect this scenario knowing that we were a team that had just been promoted and that artificial intelligence gave us as last.
