Xavi delves into the Messi-Lamine comparison and defends the fight for LaLiga

Xavi Hernández could not be in the bench of the FC Barcelona in the visit of the RCD Mallorca. It knew that it was a night complicated and 'cheat' because the team of Javier Aguirre is one that generates constantly problems, but have carried the 'surprise' that the youngest players have 'thrown' of the ship to leave clear that the team wants to litigate to the end in the career by the title of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024.

It is not a simple task, because the Real Madrid has an important difference, but in the changing room do not want to give by defeated. Against the Mallorca have left it clear in spite of all the suffering in the party. Xavi recognised in room of press that "is the tonic of all the season. The effectiveness marks us. It is a party suffered. It has cost us. We have failed this penalti, but have competed well, to win by more than one to zero. But welcome was the triumph because they are three important points to be still in the fight. Already we have said them that went to be a party of five or six occasions. The team has connected well since I said that it went me".

Xavi does not doubt of Lamine neither Pau Cubarsí

It is a party that understands more by the individualities that by the collective performance. Players like Pau Cubarsí or Lamine Yamal left presentations very positive that 'catapulted' to the Barça and left to the Mallorca with few options. Of the central, again title, has signalled that "it is intelligent, knows when bump and when no. It could lose the duel today and has not lost any. So much Lamine, but with the hierarchy and pause of Pau, always looking for the free man, looking for gone out of balloon... It does not seem that it be 17 years old".

By his part, have questioned him by the comparisons between Leo Messi and Lamine Yamal, aiming again that it does not benefit him the need to put him in the same stair of the Argentinian in his moment: "they do not benefit him the comparisons. Any one to the one who compare him with Messi comes off badly... It is the best footballer of the history, better not to compare him", sentención, adding that "Lamine without doing his best party, has been differential".

The Barça, prepared for the challenges that avecinan

Xavi also has spoken on the visit of the Naples to define the classification to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It has puntualizado that "it will be another party. Today it was rocky. The Naples is different, builds from backwards, does not do line of five, the stage is distinct... But we are prepared to compete. It was not slope of the Naples, were the analysts. We have it analysed", rescuing that "I see to the team well, solvent. We have won in defensive balance. Ojalá Can impose our football".
