Xavi has warned his Barcelona players that their 11-point lead at the top of La Liga is “not insurmountable” after Sunday’s 1-0 win over Villarreal.
Pedri’s goal was enough for the Catalans to take all three points at the Estadio de la Cerámica and extend their lead over Real Madrid into double figures.
Xavi was a pretty happy man at the final whistle but is refusing to get carried away.
“it’s not an insurmountable gap, there are 17 games left,” he said.
“I’m happy, we are on a very good run of results, extraordinary. We are solvent, serious and hard-working.
