Champions League: Why Barcelona dropped into Europa League – Xavi

 


Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez has claimed the Champions League Group C was difficult, as his side crashed out of the group stages for the second consecutive year.

Inter’s 4-0 home win over Viktoria Plzen condemned the LaLiga giants to their early exit, before Bayern ran riot at Camp Nou with a 3-0 victory.

When asked about his side’s elimination from the competition, Xavi noted the strength in Group C.

“We have to face the reality. I already said that we have to grow little by little and today there were good things.

“Today we did not compete on their level. In Munich we were better, but today we didn’t compete.

“Today Bayern was better. Just as we were better in Munich and we should have won, today they were better. The group was very complicated and everything happened to us in the Champions League,” Xavi said.
