Barcelona coach Xavi was happy to share his thoughts on how his team are looking after their first pre-season friendly ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
The Catalans were held to a 1-1 draw against Olot in a game which saw Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score and new signings Franck Kessie and Pablo Torre debut.
Xavi says his team are obviously lacking match fitness but he’s happy with the effort shown by his players during the 90 minutes.
“It was the first game of the pre-season. You could tell there was a little bit of lack of game rhythm, a little bit of fatigue.
