Barcelona fell to a second consecutive defeat on Tuesday evening, as Real Valladolid secured a magnificent 3-1 victory over the new LaLiga champions.
It was a desperately disappointing result and performance from Barcelona, who have lost every match since they were confirmed as LaLiga champions nine days ago.
Speaking after the Real Valladolid defeat (via Marca), Xavi Hernandez admitted that his side’s motivation has been low since securing the league title.
“It’s difficult for us to prepare for these matches, now that the goal has already been achieved. These results are the result of our lack of tension, but we’ve still tried. We’ve had clear chances in the first half, but we’ve dropped in the second.”
Barcelona face Mallorca in their next match, before they conclude their season against Celta Vigo next weekend. Xavi will be keen for his side to improve over their final two fixtures, although it the grand scheme of things, it doesn’t matter too much if they don’t.

and theres me thinking xavi was going to blame playing to late at night that his players couldn’t see each other lmao,FACTS another embarrassment,another pathetic attitude and mentality,another perfect example of lack of squad depth and quality,another perfect example of the squad players not being able to be counted on or relied upon,another perfect example to further highlight that ERIC GARCIA shouldn’t be playing FOOTBALL never mind playing it professionally and getting to represent and play for both barca and man city lmfao this man must either have the best football agent in the world or else he knows very powerful people in very powerful and high up positions in the football world lol.
You are just so right…
Eric needs to leave Barcelona. The guy is just so annoying. What a low player, just so so low….Below below average player
Not only eric, alonso and ferran toress, doesn’t deserve to play for barca.
sincerely, i wondered how pep sold young players like (garcia and ferran) not knowing that they lack everything to be a successful professional footballer. If not that pep is a manager at city, we should seek advice on who to buy cos pep has the ability to differentiate between good and terrible players.
Xavi is also kind of bias to me. He prefer and favours spanish players over non-spanish. Cos he should have booted eric and ferran out of the team. He(xavi) is considering departure of in form abde
Yea i agree he seems to be obsessed with Spanish players zubimendi being another perfect example and let’s not forget he was desperate and i mean desperate to bring in cesar azpilicueta from Chelsea thank god that never happened Marcos Alonso is bad enough 🤣😂
