In the UEFA Champions League match between Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk, Danylo Sakin scored the only goal of the game in the first half to give the hosts all three points. This performance was yet another horror show for Barcelona.
Despite the fact that they are still on top of the standings, the giants from Catalonia need to find a method to solve their issues because their recent run of mediocre performances mixed with unimpressive results has gone on for far too long.
Xavi gave a post-match interview to Mundo Deportivo in which he discussed the performance and the outcome of the game. According to Mundo Deportivo, Xavi said, “The Champions League requires the highest level, and today we were not like that.” We are going to depart in a rage…
We did not have a very nice performance. In the second half, we made several very courageous attempts, but things did not turn out the way we had hoped.
Regarding the qualification of the UCL RO16.

In today’s game, Barcelona had the opportunity to win and advance to the Round of 16, but they were unable to do so. We had hoped that today would be the day that we qualified to move on to the next round. Xavi remarked that it was a move in the wrong direction.
“Is there a threat to the KO stage?” Because we are still reliant on ourselves to qualify for the next round, I do not feel concerned about the upcoming encounter against Porto. The most important thing right now is to get well in time for the match against Alaves.
Today we had no chance of failing, and yet we did. It’s a significant blunder.”
In point of fact, he proceeded to describe it as one of the worst performances that had occurred while he was in charge.
“This was easily one of our worst performances since I’ve been here two years ago.”
“Mentally, we are not there yet. ” We are having issues both offensively and defensively, which indicates that we are generally doing things incorrectly. We have to get the players back on the field so that they can get back to being comfortable there. He continued by saying that a significant move needed to be made.
