Barcelona boss Xavi hit back at his critics after seeing his team make it through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
The Catalans saw off Napoli 3-1 at Montjuic in a fine performance that left Xavi in defiant mood after the game.
“I said we would take a step forward with my decision to go in the summer,” he said.
“People didn’t believe me; [they said] I was going to lose the dressing room. We have received unfair criticism. There has been too much pressure on the players: ultimatums, life or death [games].
