Xavi:
"What Simeone looks for is contrary to what we look for. He understands football in a different way. He feels comfortable without the ball, and I feel desperate on the touchline when my team doesn't have the ball".
Football was never a right or wrong, but differences.

On what he aimed to achieve:
"We want to achieve numerical superiority in the midfield and we worked for it with two different systems: the 3-5-2 and the 3-4-3."
This turned out to be perfect for Dani Alves, helping as the +1 man in the midfield.

The plan was well executed, as Araujo confirmed:
"We had a good game. We did what the manager told us to do, and it went as planned."
It was, for sure, one of the best games in recent months. The 'Xavi' effect hasn't faded out, whether it pleases Josep Pedrerol or not.
