Xavi raged at Barcelona and Robert Lewandowski at half-time against Almeria

Barcelona coach Xavi reportedly let rip at his players at half-time against Almeria and was even openly critical of Robert Lewandowski.

Mundo Deportivo reckon it was the fiercest speech he’s given his players, and he did acknowledge after the game words had been had. “At half-time I had the toughest talk as a coach. Has it worked? You’ve already seen it.”

Xavi was furious by his team’s attitude and lack of intensity in the first half, something he described as “unacceptable” after the game.

The report also claims the coach hit out at Lewandowski.
