Xavi Hernandez disappointed by Barcelona’s performance in the 0-0 draw with Benfica on Wednesday (24/11) WIB, admits that it was not a decent result for the LaLiga giants.
Blaugrana almost gave up on injury time, but opposing striker Haris Seferovic failed to score.
The Barca manager is very concerned about his team’s lack of confidence, although he expressed optimism that this trait will improve over time.

What does it say?
“We were far superior to Benfica and we played a great game, we just failed to score,” Xavi told reporters.
“If we score then we know it’s a great game.”
“I’m still optimistic. We are Barca, we have the talent and players to make the difference. But today we only got one point and it wasn’t worth it for Barca.”
“Today we have seen that there are no physical problems.”
“What we have to do is regain the confidence of the players who can score goals. We will see what we can do in the January transfer window.”
Compliments from Pique
Meanwhile, centre-back Gerard Pique praised the fans, who continue to support Blaugrana during a difficult season.
“Fans play an important role in trying to change the tempo or the course of the game, they have supported us in our ups and downs,” he said.
“I’ve never seen a Camp Nou like this, it’s priceless and you have to take advantage of it.”
