Barcelona's Xavi pleased despite Real Madrid's 100th El Clasico win in Supercopa thriller

Barcelona's Xavi pleased despite Real Madrid's 100th El Clasico win in Supercopa thriller

Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez praised his performance on Wednesday against Real Madrid despite losing 3: 2 in overtime in the thrilling Supercopa de Espana semifinal in Saudi Arabia.

Federico Valverde won in the 98th minute, when Madrid recorded the 100th victory in the Clasic after Luuk de Jong and Ansu Fati canceled the goals of Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema.

However, on the day Pedri and Ansu returned from long-term injuries and Ferran Torres signed 55 million euros, making his debut in Barce, Xavi was glad to see him lose.

"I'm sad and upset because there's a match for us," Coach Barcy told a post-match press conference.

"We played hard for the first 20 minutes, but we made it. It was a day to be brave. This part of Barcy can compete with anyone. We did not achieve the desired result, but it was still a rough step.

"There were mixed feelings because we were on the verge of victory. I was sad because it was a defeat in Clasic and we didn't have a trophy, but we dominated Madrid for a long time. "We lacked experience, patience, responsibility. We were wrong. We could have stopped the block [Madrid] and been more responsible with the ball. But we are close."

Barça recorded 20 shots against Madrid, 14 at King Fahd's stadium and recorded 53% possession of the ball. However, Madrid had the best chance, Benzema hit the post in the second half and Rodrygo Goes later missed and increased to 4: 2 in overtime. Carlo Ancelotti disagreed with Xavis's assessment of the game, but acknowledged Barcelona for his performance in Riyadh.

"I don't agree [with Xavi], it's the same game, they're more owned and we use the block," said the Madrid coach.

"We deserved to win in the first half, we acknowledged that we were a bit unlucky. The second half was more balanced, but I don't think Madrid dominated Barca or Barça Madrid.

"We went downstairs to use the counter. The counter is effective. We have quality moves - all three goals are unique. Tie, really.

 It was a good show, we made a good impression of Spanish football. I think Barcelona is playing well too. "

Madrid, who will face Atletic Madrid or Athletic Bilbao at the end of Sunday, 

welcomed Dani Carvajal as he defeated Barça, but David Alaba succumbed to a later injury.

"We hope Alaba will be available for the weekend," Ancelotti said.

Midfielder Barcy Pedri was in the second half of the bench to appear for the first time since September after recovering from a leg injury, 

while Ansu scored his fifth goal during his return after a hamstring problem that has plagued him since November.

It will also be the complete debut for Torres, who signed to Manchester City this month, and Xavi thinks the three players will be the key to clubs hoping to make it to the top four in La Liga this season. They are now six. "These three help us a lot," 

Xavi said. "Peter and Ferran needed minutes and the game ran after hours, but Ansu returned with a goal.

While Madrid remains in Saudi Arabia to prepare for Sunday's final, Barça has a free weekend. Their next action is against Athletic in Copa del Rey next Wednesday.
