'We'd be leaders' - Barcelona boss Xavi makes bizarre claim after needing late Robert Lewandowski penalty to see off struggling Celta Vigo

LaLiga

Celta Vigo

Barcelona

<p>Xavi spoke after the game and was critical of his side's wasted chances as they stole a narrow 2-1 victory over strugglers Celta Vigo. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/barcelona-player-ratings-vs-celta-vigo-robert-lewandowski/bltd58712945f9d38f7" target="_blank">A resurgent Robert Lewandowski scored a brace</a>, including a 97th minute penalty, to secure the three points. However, perhaps a little frustrated the Polish striker hasn't been able to be at his best all this season, Xavi bemoaned the number of opportunities to score they pass up.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Speaking after their victory, Xavi said: "We dominated. But we struggled to create in the final third. [Celta] worked so hard defensively. It's an agonising triumph, but it's welcome.</p><p>"They passed me a stat saying that, according to Big Data, we would be leaders [going] by chances created."</p>

WHAT XAVI SAID

<p>Xavi's side have a number of players capable of producing special moments out of nothing. No more so than Ilkay Gundogan who has created 67 chances for his team-mates this season, second only to Real Betis' Isco (68). Maybe the Spanish boss has a point.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Xavi has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/xavi-quit-barcelona-manager-confirms-leaving-end-of-season-in-shock-announcement-after-catalans-ship-five-villarreal/blt5e11dda249a33995" target="_blank">made the decision to leave Barcelona at the end of the season</a> so will be dreaming of ending his spell in charge on a positive note. They sit seven points off league leaders Madrid, who have a game in hand, and begin their Champions League knockout stage run on Wednesday against Napoli.</p>
