Xavi pleased with Barcelona Copa rout of Cueta

Barcelona coach Xavi was pleased with their 5-0 Copa del Rey win at Cueta.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice, with Raphinha, Ansu Fati and Franck Kessie also on target in the victory over the third-division side.

“We are in good form and we have to take advantage of it,” Xavi said after the game.

“I would highlight the team’s attitude. We had the experience of Intercity [in the last round when Barca needed extra time], which can happen if you drop your intensity.

“We struggled to create in the first half but the second period was really good. The team showed hunger.

“Ceuta were really up for it, but we produced a serious performance. We have a great squad.”

Xavi made 10 changes for the win, only keeping Lewandowski in the XI as he is banned for the next two LaLiga games.

“It was not a second team,” he added. “They are important players and they will be until the end of the season.”
