"We have been good, we have attacked and defended well. The only thing that was missing was the goal before, and that is what made us suffer too much," said Xavi Hernández, from whose point of view "he has been one of our best games, and the result has been short. We have generated enough to not suffer so much. We came from two 5-0 defeats and the streak is over. Sevilla is a super team and I think we have handled it well. Against Mallorca There was a lack of play, we have corrected this now and that is the way to move forward, to generate play."
After finishing the match, the interviewers brought together Marc André Ter Stegen and Ivan Rakitic, training partners in the Barça locker room for years, tonight rivals on the pitch.
"We won by a goal that we scored with great luck, but we were super satisfied with the three points," said the Barça goalkeeper.
"It was a closely contested match, but concrete actions have made the difference. Barça has a lot of individual quality and, although a goal punishes you, I am happy for the image," said Rakitic, now in the ranks of Sevilla.
Joan Jordán shared the perspective of his teammate Rakitic: "For us, the feeling is bitter. At times we have been protagonists and we have had actions that have ended in nothing. And Barça's goal has come in a fortuitous action," he lamented the Sevilla midfielder, in whose opinion "we have a sufficient squad to continue improving."
Gavi defined Barça's victory as an act of redemption, especially after Mallorca's setback: "It is an important victory and I think we deserved it from start to finish. In the last game we also had many opportunities and they didn't go in and we left fucked." "Now the same thing has happened, we have had several opportunities to go into the break more comfortable," he concluded.
