In a just-concluded semi-final match of the Western Super Cup, Barca once again fell at the feet of Real Madrid, and although they drew with Real Madrid in regular time, the team was still eliminated in extra time. In terms of full-court performance, Barca also played a lot of highlights, but Real Madrid is undoubtedly more stable. After the game, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti also believed that the two sides played a very balanced game, but Barca was not good enough. Barca boss Xavi is disappointed by the elimination and believes the team still qualifies for the promotion.
Regarding the match against Real Madrid, Xavi said that although the game was lost, it would still be a turning point for the team, "Although in the end we lost, we played a full 90 minutes of good goals, Madrid's promotion is our loss, we are better than Real Madrid in many moments. We can't be demoralized because we lose, and that's a very important turning point. Harvey believes the team has multiple chances to come back, even rewriting the score to 3:3 or 4:2, "It's a shame, it's infuriating, but we can be proud of our game, we're still on the right track and we need this turning point to go up".
Speaking about the gap with Real Madrid, Xavi said: "Madrid also have feelings, they have advanced to the final. We have feelings of anger, powerlessness. If we talk about today, the strength between us is very close. Although in the league we were 17 points behind, today we played and if we let Barca qualify by tossing a coin, nothing would happen and Barca should also be in the final and we are on the right track. ”
