Xavi Hernández: "What I liked most was the attitude. Of course there are things to improve. In fact, there are many."
Xavi: "The audience has been wonderful. I haven't been to the Camp Nou in almost 6 years and the atmosphere has changed a lot. I loved it."
Xavi: "Ilias and Abde have played a great game, they are talents and it is important to have this generation of footballers who will help us a lot.'
Xavi: "At the end of the match we lacked things to dominate the game."
Xavi: "We are not in the best situation and Espanyol has given us a lot of problems in the last minutes. But in general it was a deserved victory and it is a great joy."
Xavi: "We have to generate more chances. It is difficult to attack such a tight defence, but we to attack the spaces on the wing more. We have to work because we will find ourselves in similar scenarios many times."
Xavi: "There are things to improve and we have to learn to better understand what the game demands at all times."
Xavi: "The penalty? They tell me it's a penalty. I haven't seen the play, I've seen it live and I would have whistled for it. When I see it again, as they will show it 200 times, I'll look at it."
Xavi: "The last minutes? It's not a physical problem, it's the interpretation of the game."
Xavi: "We are building, but getting the three points in a derby gives a lot of satisfaction. We have suffered, but we dominated the game for 70 or 75 minutes. We must improve even if the result is tight. We should have taken advantage when they started to attack more."
Xavi: "Agüero? I don't know anything about Kun. I talked to him, he's calm and we have to wait. I don't have the information that came out today."
Xavi: "The fans have to be happy and proud of the team because we have emptied ourselves. But obviously we still have to improve."
Xavi: "It is a victory that the players deserved and needed. A victory gives us morale, but on Tuesday we have the Champions League and it will be very difficult. It is another final. We cannot fail. Tuesday, another war, another final."
Xavi: "The possession threshold we must have is between 60% and 80%. 65% against a good team like Espanyol, is very good. But what matters in the end, is what we generate. I think we can risk more in attack, but it is a matter of trust and time."
Xavi: "We have an extraordinary generation of young players. Doing it the way they have done is magnificent. They have a lot of talent and that is positive for the club."
Xavi: "This Barça can fight for all the titles, why not? Nobody tells us no. We are Barça, and although we have to improve, we have to believe in it. In general I am quite satisfied."
Xavi: "Abde has played an extraordinary second half. He has self-confidence."
Xavi: "Busquets is a maestro, he is fundamental for us. He is much more valued in the national team than here, and that cannot be."
