Xavi Hernández celebrated the draw against Getafe, which served to consolidate second place, which gives the right to play in the Spanish Super Cup, with the economic income that it entails. «We always want to win but the draw served us to cover a required minimum. Now we can make a summary. In the month of November, when I came to the bench, we were very bad and we made a good comeback. We will play the Super Cup and now we have to plan and work towards the future to make a team that fights for all the titles”, explained Xavi Hernández, who is already thinking about the future.

The coach is clear about what he wants and this Monday he will start preparing the team for next season.

“We have to make a diagnosis, which we have very clear. We know what we lack and we need to strengthen ourselves. We have to make an effort because we know the economic situation that the club is going through. Next year we have to fight for titles. You have to prepare well and reinforce yourself well to be competitive, “added the coach.

Sergio Busquets was the first to analyze the situation of Barcelona, ​​which mathematically achieved second place: «It has been a very difficult season, with many changes and many injuries. We have not been as regular as we wanted. With Madrid already champions, we had to go for second place, which gives us the option of playing in another competition and earning more money, which is appreciated the way the club is”. The captain is already thinking about next season: «The coach and the sports management are clear about it, but there is also the handicap of the club’s economic situation. From there, make a competitive team to fight for everything. Busquets did not want to avoid the problems that the club has gone through this season: “It is a bad situation, we are Barça and we have to fight for everything, even if you don’t win it later. We have to improve the club’s situation and we hope that it does the best it can and that next year we are fighting for titles.”

Riqui Puig also appeared, who was tremendously realistic. “If in December they told us that we would be second, we would not have believed it. We should feel proud. This second place tastes like glory. We are Barça but the way the season has gone, we must take it for granted”, commented the youth squad. Puig added: “It’s a time to look forward to next year. We must believe in the project, with young players who have a lot of potential. We are looking forward to starting next season.”
