On Tuesday, "Barcelona" had the opportunity to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages, but in the away game the Catalans had to admit the advantage of Donetsk's "Shakhtar" with a score of 0:1.

After the defeat, "Barca" coach Xavi did not hide his disappointment and stated that it was one of the worst matches of his team in the last two years.

"The Champions League requires top-class play, which we did not show in this match. We are very angry at ourselves.

We didn't play as we should have. We need to improve our game as soon as possible. We completely failed to execute the match plan. It was one of the worst matches in the last two years. Unfortunately, it happened at the most inappropriate time.

We need to reset. We don't feel good at the moment. We are facing psychological problems as well. We must take a step forward as soon as possible," said Xavi.
