Quotes
“The players stepped up their game. I’d highlight the deeper pressure," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after his side's win over Atletico.
"The good circulation of the ball, a midfield where [Ilkay] Gündoğan, Pedri and Frenkie [de Jong] understand each other to perfection, the tight defensive line, Raphinha and [Robert] Lewandowski working so hard for the attack.
“We could have put the game to bed much earlier, but I’m still very happy and satisfied. We are Barça, so what need to do is play like that all the time."
