Barcelona Coach Addresses Rivals’ Recent Stumbles in La Liga

Barcelona’s head coach Xavi Hernandez has responded to questions about Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid dropping points in their recent La Liga matches. When asked about the situation, Xavi acknowledged being aware of the results but emphasized his team’s focus on their own performance.

“Of course, I’m informed about their matches, which took place earlier. However, our concentration remains solely on our own game,” Xavi stated. “I believe this is the best approach for our team. It’s crucial for us to aim for the top of the league table. Achieving this would boost our confidence, but first, we need to win our upcoming match.”

On February 15, Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Osasuna, while Atletico Madrid also settled for a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo. These results have potentially opened up an opportunity for Barcelona in the title race.

Barcelona is set to face Rayo Vallecano on February 17 in their 24th round La Liga fixture. This match presents an opportunity for the Catalan club to capitalize on their rivals’ recent setbacks and improve their position in the league standings.
