Xavi tells Barcelona to ‘attack better’ ahead of Clasico clash

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez has told his team they must attack better after securing yet another 1-0 win on Sunday against Athletic.

Raphinha scored the only goal of the game, but Barcelona did have other chances but couldn’t put them away.

Xavi admits it’s a familiar failing from this team and wants more from his attackers.

“It was a difficult game. In San Mames you end up suffering, and that’s what happened. It’s a golden victory for us and we take three very important points,” he said.

“We maintained the nine-point lead, and we go into the Clasico with confidence.
