Barcelona coach Xavi insists they deserved their 2-1 win at Celta Vigo.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice, including an injury-time winner, for the win.
Xavi said: “We played well, until the last third. We lacked the final pass, the last pass. We were well positioned, well in the losses. They generated little for us. We dominated. But it was difficult for us to generate in the last third.
“They have done a brutal job, defensively. It is an agonizing victory, but it is welcome. There is attitude and commitment. I made the decision to leave for this: 10 points out of 12. Today it was difficult for us. But the team is good.
“I am happy for the step forward and for the three points that are gold. They have given me the information that according to Big Data we would be leaders due to the opportunities created.
“The goal in the first minute of the second half is an error in concentration. Aspas is smart. We have no luck on the rebound. That occasion was a shame, because we defended well throughout the game. The must is not to concede and leave a clean sheet. The goal is a general defensive mismatch that should not happen, it is a very simple wall.
“Now it’s time to disconnect, think about the Champions League. Robert, like the entire team, is very engaged. The team is very involved. Another thing is what is said outside. The unity is spectacular. “
