Champions League: Xavi Frustrated With Napoli Draw

Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez, was frustrated following his side’s 1-1 draw with Napoli in their Champions League clash on Wednesday night.

Barca missed several opportunities to score before Robert Lewandowski netted the opener in the 60th minute but they failed to add to their tally and were pegged back when Victor Osimhen equalised from Napoli’s only shot on target 15 minutes later.

“I think we had a great match, both offensively and defensively,” Xavi told reporters.

“The team did some things to deserve to win, but this is the Champions League.

“But I leave here satisfied. Satisfied, but a bit bitter because from my point of view, we could have won.”

Barcelona host Napoli, last year’s Serie A champions, in the return leg on March 12. They return to LaLiga action on Saturday with the visit of Getafe.
