Pedro González ‘ Pedri’ decided the match with a great goal after shooting a cross from the edge of the area after getting rid of two Sevilla defenders thanks to two feints.
“ I really encourage him to shoot, because he has a great kick. But he is a great passer and he has in mind to make the pass , as it happened to me. He is a superlative player, a leader”, he stated.
Asked if this victory is a message for Real Madrid in order to fight for the title of Liga, Xavi said they don’t send “no message to anyone”.
In any case, he considered that it is a message for Barça itself. “We are doing very well, but we cannot lower our guard and we have to continue this dynamic. If mathematics does not say otherwise, we will continue fighting for the League”, he warned.
