The situation we are in is a bit complicated. We started well, spectacular, we had chances, but they didn't make it 0-1 at all, in the next one, it was 0-2.
That's where the difference is made, in Lewandowski. We have fought, we have fought…but what am I going to tell you? It's a bit hard. We always get there; we have it... but we didn't do the one you have to mark. More against a team like Barça. This is about scoring goals, not this fence.
I understand the anger and concern. But the worrying thing would be that we did not arrive or have it. We have to do what Barça did today. Hit the match.
I apologize for the result. I also have patience and trust. Lopetegui? We are with our mister and the coaching staff. With trust".
We say goodbye with the chronicle of the match, written by Santi Gimenez. It was a pleasure to tell you about this match between Sevilla and the Catalans, with a 0-3 victory for the visitors.
Ter Stegen: "Xavi has recovered what we want to be"
The game: "Very good feelings, especially when the League starts. We have to keep winning like this, although there are always things to improve.
Xavi has a very clear idea. After a few years that we didn't do it, he has recovered from what we wanted to be. He is doing spectacularly. Good feelings to fight for everything, the teammate next to us, and the whole team.
So far, I feel good. This helps, and how we are on the field influences defensive work favors me. I'm happy with the way we're going."
All good; it was in the play with Lamela that I stretched my leg too much.
"It was time, after almost four years looking for it. Very happy. At first, he thought Koundé was offside, but no. I remembered my family; they had been telling me for a long time, especially my sister.
"Happy, the team is doing a very good job since the preseason. We suffered a bit against Sevilla, but we went against it because we have planes up there. It is only the beginning but we must continue with this dynamic and work. We have to be happy, but we have to improve to continue up there".
We have to take advantage of the good moment."
The Barcelona coach praised the group work, although he did not hide that "Gavi was the best of the match." The 0-3 left him satisfied, and "it's a good sign."
Barcelona adds and continues. Xavi ended up happy after the 0-3 against Sevilla and, after the first 15 minutes in which there were doubts, everything calmed down and carburized. In Movistar, the coach praised the group work and said, "we had chances to score more goals." He spoke of the good performance of Dembele and Gavi.
Very positive balance, we didn't start very well the first 15 minutes, but later, when we settled down, we generated chances in transitions, steals, and Dembélé's exits. Very good team game; I think we dominated. We had chances to score more goals.
We weren't expecting a 4-4-2 diamond formation in Sevilla's midfield. But Pedri, Gavi, and Busquets worked very well. We worked on getting the ball out, and I think we played a great game. It was very physical; everyone had to be supportive. We can be very satisfied."
I like the way he plays and the attitude. How he works in defense, he is supportive, and that is the key. They have all helped. We have footballers to make a difference, and Dembélé is one of them.
We just worked on it yesterday. A strategic goal that adds us up is an aspect in which we had to make a difference. Fruit of a job well done". Gavi: "I'm not surprised; I see him training every day. The intensity that he imprints on him is character, heart, discipline... it's wonderful. It will have been the best of the game.
We can make different variants in the ball's release and high pressure. We have five changes, which is an advantage for the coaches—a complete match for those who started and left in the second half.
Rafinha: "Barça always has to have the ball.
Barcelona beat Sevilla 0-3, showing a high pace of play and punch. The Brazilian made it 0-1 and dedicated it to my wife's family.
Xavi's team beat Sevilla 0-3 showing a good level of play and punch. Rafinha, after the duel, valued the victory and commented that "it was a very difficult match.
We tried to put our way of playing, and the duel's most important weight was Barça. The style is non-negotiable, which is how Xavi transmits it to the group. "Barça is the team that always has to have the ball. We want to win games; we're going up and scoring goals", commented Raphinha.
The start of the Barça League has been good, with three wins and a draw, although Raphinha doesn't want too much euphoria: "The League is a very long.
We won, it's important, and we're happy, but we have to keep going". His adaptation to Barcelona is already a fact, and he warned, "I'm very happy.
To continue working". Finally, he made it 0-1, debuted as a scorer, and made it clear to whom he dedicates it: "To my family, my wife, the people who are always with me.
