Xavi tells Barcelona to be humble after Atletico Madrid win

Barcelona coach Xavi couldn’t hide his delight at seeing his team beat Atletico Madrid 4-2 on Sunday and move into the top four in La Liga.

The 41-year-old spoke after the game about how his team “needed” a game like this but did warn his players not to get too carried away just yet.

“With eleven we attacked very well and with ten we were supportive and we didn’t suffer too much,” he said.

“We needed a game like this, a victory against a great team and playing well. We matched their intensity and we were better, I think it can be a turning point.
