“It was our own fault for what we experienced. We were in control of the game with a 2-0 lead. We had one of the best first halves of the season, a game that would have been easier to win. We dominated the game but our opponents equalized the score at 2-2. “

“There were moments when we lacked concentration. We made some mistakes, which must be minimized, but it was a great match, a very important match, one of the best matches of the season with two goals conceded,” Xavi added.
