Barcelona came back to beat Aravis 2-1 at home in Sunday's La Liga match. The La Liga giants suffered a goal conceded just 18 seconds into the match, but scored two goals in a row thanks to a timely outburst from Roberto Lewandowski to pull off a thrilling comeback. Coach Xavi also criticized his team's poor performance after the match.
In the last round of the league, Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad under unfavorable circumstances, and Xavi admitted that the victory was more or less lucky. However, in this game, the team started the game with a lax spirit, and the center of the midfield, De Jong, was cut off, leading to the loss of the ball, and the loss of the ball in 18 seconds became the record of the fastest loss of the ball at home in the 21st century for Barcelona. Although the team launched a counter-attack afterward, it was not a big threat. Luckily, the slumping Roberto Lewandowski broke his longest goal drought in 12 years by scoring the equalizer in the 53rd minute and the penalty in the 78th minute, helping the team win 2-1.
After two consecutive league matches ended in "bitter victories", coach Xavi once again expressed his dissatisfaction with his team's performance: "To be honest, we are not in a good shape, we played an ugly game, but at least we showed the team's style, and I believe that the team will continue to improve. Young players are easily influenced by public opinion, so I need to protect them well and find ways to improve their performance in a calm environment."
