Xavi’s men dominated this Clasico from head to toe with an excellent Gavi and inspired Robert Lewandowski. After the win, Xavi hinted that he’d rather remember the way they outclassed Real Madrid than the Supercopa de Espaa title.
 
“I am very satisfied and very happy; you know that I care a lot about how and how.” When we win and we don’t play well, I’m not completely satisfied. Today, what we had planned went perfectly. I’m happy for the players; they received a lot of criticism, often unfair, but today they broke free, and that gives us a lot of confidence. “We come from a complicated period; the departure of Leo was very important and very difficult to digest; I hope it is the first title in a long series,” he first declared in a conference press conference.
“I’m more interested in the manner than the title.” Even if some people say no, I really care how. Outside, there will always be noise, but inside, there was a lot of calm. I have a friendly relationship with the president, and I am very happy for him; he has made a very strong commitment to this project. “I am happy for him and for the board of directors,” he added.
