Now, Xavi Hernandez spoke, as usual, in a post-match press conference, in which nothing was held back. In addition to talking about the referees as he has been doing these weeks, he highlighted a 16-year-old player above the rest, Cubarsí.

"Cubar does seem like he's I don't know how old, he looks like a veteran. I'm very satisfied in general: we played a very mature game. Christensen's position (center) has given us a lot of balance. We played a very good game. We suffered for moments, but we have known how to suffer. It is a sensational group reaction".

The match was not saved from controversy, as Xavi spoke about the expulsion of Vitor Roque: "You have seen it. There was a great team match, I only ask that they let us compete. I am not going to talk more about the referees. Today "It's another blatant error. I've been saying it since Getafe, we are paying for the 'Negreira case'. That's the truth. I don't need to say it again, then you'll kill me."

What else did Xavi say about the referees?

I only ask that they let us compete, I only ask for this and I am not going to talk anymore about the referees because then everything turns against me. Because today is another blatant error and I think we are paying for the Negreira case. I have no doubt, that is reality, that is the truth, what I feel... But I am not going to talk much more. You are already seeing the reality, but then you kill me. Why am I going to tell a lie? That's the truth"
