Xavi Hernandez laments Barcelona’s performance in disappointing Rayo Vallecano defeat

For the four successive match, Barcelona failed to win against Rayo Vallecano, falling to a disappointing 2-1 defeat in the Spanish capital.

Goals from Alvaro Garcia and Fran Garcia secured Barcelona’s fate, with a late goal from Robert Lewandowski proving to only be a consolation for the league leaders.

Speaking after the match (via Marca), Xavi Hernandez was frustrated with the performance of his side against Rayo.

“We didn’t play a good game, we weren’t comfortable at any time. We were penalised a lot for the second goal, but we did try until the end.

“We have had faith and courage but Rayo were just victorious. They put a lot of pressure on us and we haven’t felt comfortable at any time. It is a defeat that annoys us.”

Barcelona failed to capitalise on Real Madrid’s defeat to Girona on Tuesday night, and Xavi insisted that there is still a long way to go in the title race.

“The message is simple: there is a lot left. Nothing is done, and La Liga is not won, which I have said it many times.”

Barcelona will hope to return to winning ways on Saturday evening, when they will take on Real Betis at the Spotify Camp Nou.
