Xavi: "We had to row too much"

Xavi Hernández was not at all happy after Barça's draw in Mallorca. “It is an insufficient point and it was due to our errors. It's a shame,” he lamented.

The Barça coach insisted on the mistakes made by his players. “With what we have generated, normally we would have won the game but the problem is that they have advanced with our mistake and when we were better, before the break, when we were ready to tie, another blow comes to us due to another mistake of ours. There have been two mistakes clamorous,” he repeated.

Xavi did not want to get into controversy over the penalty on Lamine Yamal awarded by the referee, later rectified by the VAR. “Live it seemed like a penalty to me. Watching it on television, the Mallorca player does not touch the ball at any time and we would have to see if there is contact. “They are very difficult decisions for the referee,” he explained.

Continuing with the young Lamine Yamal, the coach from Terrassa explained that “he is so young that we want to take care of him. He is talented and is a differential player who generates many things. He has a lot of maturity for his age but you have to be careful and you have to take care of him,” he concluded.

For his part, Oriol Romeu reported that “the game was stuck from the beginning and we suffered more than we wanted. "They haven't let us play as we had planned, we have given them too many opportunities to play on the counterattack."
