"It's impossible to call this [the 5-0 win against Real Betis] a perfect match," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after their game against Betis.
"We need to improve in several aspects, especially at defending. But yes, we've played an excellent match on all levels and I am satisfied with the performance of my players and the way they enjoyed the match.
“Gavi is the heart of the team, he is a fundamental player. Many said that he was going to play less this season, but he is an exemplary footballer.”
