Barcelona lost in shock, coach Xavi was embarrassed

Losing at home is an unacceptable result for Barcelona. The team led by Xavi even let the opponent lead up to 3 goals even though they were the dominant team in terms of ball control.

“This is a big disappointment. It’s a shame we have hope in this competition. Congratulations Frankfurt. They deserved the win. We didn’t know how to create chances despite having more possession. “head coach Xavi said after the match.

Barcelona’s ball possession rate in this match is up to more than 70%. However, the number of chances that the home team created was much less than that of the opponent. Coach Xavi’s students were leading by 3 goals and had to wait until the match entered injury time to concede Frankfurt.

Not only losing the match, Barcelona also had another disappointment in the stands. According to AS, about 30,000 Frankfurt fans appeared at the Nou Camp, more than the number of tickets issued for the away team. Meanwhile, the number of Barcelona fans did not reach 70,000 as expected even though they were playing at home.

“What happened is a shame and must not be repeated. We have had the information and need time to process it. We must act because this is an insult, a shame.” Barcelona president Joan Laporta said.
