Xavi Hernandez has delivered some good news after Barcelona drew with Benfica.
The Blaugrana ideally had to win against Benfica on Tuesday night but they couldn’t find a way.
Barca had plenty of chances to hit the net while Benfica scored an almost open goal in the last few moments, only Haris Seferovic sinking the ball wide.
The result means Barca will have to beat Bayern Munich away in two weeks if Benfica beat Dynamo Kyiv.
During the game, Xavi took the risk of throwing at Ousmane Dembélé, who recently returned from injury, while a number of other players have also returned from injury in recent weeks.
But the good news from Xavi after the game, despite the disappointing result, is that everyone passed the test unscathed, the new head coach pointed to the fitness of his team.
“Today you saw that there were no physical problems in the second half,” he said.
“Today he submitted it up to the 95th minute. Barca generated, tried and created opportunities. “
