Xavi blasts Barcelona after ‘unacceptable’ display against Real Sociedad

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was not at all happy with his team’s display after Saturday’s 1-0 win over Real Sociedad.

The visitors were second best for most of the contest but took all three points after a late header by Ronald Araujo.

Here’s what Xavi said afterwards:

“We have not played well and we have to be self-critical. We haven’t played well and this is not the way,” he said.

“On the other hand, against Real Madrid, we played very well. Today we lacked intensity. I’m not happy with the result.

“The players were still affected by the match against Real Madrid.
