It was a difficult game for Barcelona away at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday.

Barcelona won the game courtesy of a first-half goal from Ousmane Dembele.

Atletico were the better side in the second-half, in what was a very difficult game.

However, for Xavi, you don’t have to play well to win every game.

“The message is that without playing well, you can also win,” Xavi told a press conference after the Atletico game.

“Against Espanyol, playing very well, we couldn’t win. Today we saw a great attitude, everyone worked hard, the team gave their all and that’s what I’ll take away from this.”

The victory was a vital one, as Real Madrid lost the previous day. Barca are now three points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga table.
