Xavi ‘Madrid focuses on individuals, Barça is about the team’ >> Read My Mind


Xavi: ‘The biggest difference between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona is the emphasis on individuals, which makes them currently the opposite of the way we play in Barcelona’

Xavi: ‘You see, we have great individuals like Lionel Messi, who can single-handedly turn a game around, but we are still a lot more about our unity and our collectivism. Real Madrid, however, try to win games with individual class. For us, it is about the collective’

– There are many differences between the two clubs but, for me, the main one is the attitude towards football as a sport.

Los Blancos would do anything to achieve victory – waste millions on world superstars, insult referees, bad-mouth their rivals before, during and after matches… They may eventually start winning again, but their contribution to the sport is ZERO.

Luckily for us, it’s a whole different approach at Barça. Cules would never accept having a team that wins if they refuse to play attacking football. Our titles must be linked to beautiful skills, attractive dribbles, mesmerising goals, legendary players.

WE ARE FOOTBALL!!!! I AM BLAUGRANA FOR LIFE, AND PROUD!!!!
