Barcelona's 3-3 draw with Granada was a rollercoaster of emotions. As a die-hard fan, it's a mixed bag to see the team being tied with the lead. Xavi's words seemed to cheer the fans on, and although the competition in the league has become extremely difficult, his attitude is unwavering - Barcelona will not throw in the league defeat.
Seeing that the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid has widened to 10 points, my heart also sinks. But Harvey is right, it's hard, but it's not impossible. This spirit of not giving up is what we as fans want to see the most. We did have a lot of chances to make it 2-0 in today's game, but we couldn't take it in the end. It's a shame because it's a good opportunity to stay in the competition.
Xavi said that the team didn't do enough defensively, and I know that. We conceded too many goals and defensively became our weakness. Xavi said he was trying to improve his defense all week, which made me feel a little bit more at ease. After all, recognizing the problem and working to solve it is always a good start.
The team's goal remains clear – we don't think we've lost the league competition. Although it doesn't feel good right now, this perseverance gives people hope. Xavi's defensive mistakes have been a real pain point for us this season, we have conceded too many goals and that is something that has to be addressed.
Xavi also talked about the atmosphere in the team, where everyone was angry because they gave the opposition too many chances. This kind of self-criticism attitude is good, and being angry shows that everyone is unwilling and wants to do better for the team. What I said about Laporta gave me some comfort – it was a long game and we still had a chance.
In the end, I was deeply impressed by Harvey's words. Although we took a step back in today's game, the problem was identified and there was a direction to solve it. The atmosphere in the dressing room, the attitude of the team, these are all signs of a positive development.
As a fan, I am sometimes disappointed by the result of the game, but I am still full of hope when I see the efforts of the team and the coach. In the face of difficulties, we must unite and support our team. Barcelona don't give up, that's our attitude.
