Xavi admits Barcelona is going through difficult times, but has called on players to stay united.

It's hard. We're at a moment when we have to stay together, don't worry. We know it will be difficult. I already said in the past that the sun would shine again, even if it was very cold tonight. I'm very happy with victory”, he added.

He also spoke about the state of Osmane Dembeles, who lacked training after disagreements with the club about the contract.

The situation is the same, it wasn't trained because it wasn't good. The doctors told me, but he knows the contractual situation, nothing has changed”.
