Xavi tells Barcelona not to get carried away by Real Sociedad win

Barcelona coach Xavi told his players not to get too carried away after beating Real Sociedad 1-0 on Thursday in La Liga.

The Catalans got back to winning ways thanks to a single goal from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but were made to work extremely hard for the three points.

Dani Alves said after the match that Barca’s rivals were lucky the team hadn’t hit form earlier, but Xavi says it’s not the time to brag.

“In the second half, Real had more of the ball than us, they came out in a rush. They are a very well-worked team and we’ve noticed a lot of fatigue from the games.
