BARCELONA’S Manager, Xavi has expressed delight after securing a win against Real Madrid on Sunday, March 19, 2023, retaining their ambition to win the La Liga trophy they last won in 2019.
Real Madrid had taken the lead in the first half through an Araujo own goal, but that didn’t discourage the Catalans, as they came from behind to win the game 2-1 through goals from Sergio Roberto and Kessie.
Xavi, whose focus is on the La Liga trophy, was happy with his team's performances and expressed this in an interview with reporters.
He said, “It’s not definitive but it’s a very important step. Twelve points clear at the top of La Liga, we are having an extraordinary league campaign. I am very happy for that and proud to watch the team play.
“I don’t have the feeling (the league is won) but I understand the fans singing ‘Campeones it’s a considerable advantage but we can’t relax."
The match, which happens to be Xavi's sixth El Clasico, but the first one he would manage in front of home fans at Camp Nou, saw Barcelona sit top of the table with 12 points ahead of second place, Real Madrid.
