“Girona” on Sunday defeated “Barcelona” with a score of 4:2 and became the sole leader of the Spanish “La Liga” championship.

After this defeat, “Barca” is already seven points behind “Girona”.

After the match, Catalan coach Xavi praised the opponents, but said that the game could have turned in a different direction.

“It was a match between equal opponents, where the result was determined by small details. If we had won, I think everyone would agree that it was also a logical result. We had 31 shots,” said Xavi.

We lacked effectiveness in attack, and we made too many mistakes in defense. Even with such play, we were quite close to at least a draw.

“Girona” demonstrates something similar to what we are trying to achieve. Now they have a seven-point advantage over us and it must be acknowledged that they deserve it.

“I want to congratulate both the opponents' coach and the whole team, who are doing a fantastic job,” Xavi said.
