According to Tasnim news agency, Xavi Hernandez, whose team under his leadership last night (Tuesday) in the 33rd week of the Spanish La Liga, managed to defeat Osasuna with a score of 1-0 at the Camp Nou Stadium and is on the verge of winning the competition. He said: We are now almost close to winning the championship title. Getting these 6 points in our last two games against Real Betis and Osasuna was key after losing to Rayo Vallecano. We’ll wait and see what happens, but it’s a big step forward for the championship.
The head coach of Barcelona also pointed to his players’ burning opportunities and stated: We got into a lot of trouble in this game. We missed some very good chances, the ones that should have been converted into goals. This game was an example of what we have shown during the current season. We haven’t had the necessary effectiveness in the offensive line. That sums up a season where we created a lot of chances but didn’t take advantage of them. However, we were hungry for victory in this match and I think we deserved to win.
He also mentioned about the substitution of his Brazilian winger in the opening minutes of the second half due to injury: We had planned for Christensen and Rafinha to play a little more but we had to replace Rafinha because he told me he had a physical problem and another player. send to the ground instead.
With this win, Barcelona gained 82 points and while consolidating their lead, now they need only one more win to secure their early championship.
