Xavi disappointed reaction after failing to win against El Clasico rivals Real Madrid 

Xavi was disappointed by Barcelona's failure to win "moments" after they were prompted by Clasico rivals Real Madrid 4-0 at Camp Nou to fall to a 4-1 Copa del Rey semi-final aggregate defeat. Xavi was left frustrated by his team's failure to match their first-half display, telling Movistar+: "It is a difficult night to digest. This is football. "You have to compete better. We competed well until 1-0. They are moments that we have to stop. We could have also stopped the 2-0 moment. In short, they are details that we have to control.
"In the first half we were very good, but that's what I said: football is about moments and we didn't take advantage of them. "When football is so even, you have to take advantage of the moments. We didn't do it in the first half and they did in the second. They have been superior, no excuses." Xavi credited Madrid for their excellent second-leg display, saying: "I already said yesterday that Madrid were favorites. "We cannot argue that they are a great team. They are the La Liga and Champions League champions and they do not forgive.  "When you don't kill Madrid, they kill you." Despite the elimination, Xavi's men hold a 12-point lead over Madrid at the top of La Liga, and he is hoping his team can put this setback behind them to kick on and claim the title. "We had a very bad second half, but we have to get up," he said. "Tomorrow we will get up with all the hope to beat Girona. "It is a tough result, but we have to focus on the league." Xavi continued his remarks, saying, "This is not my worst night as a Barca coach. We must remember where we came from and the state we were in last season. We are playing against the Champions League champion."
