Regarding what went wrong, Xavi explained: "To be honest, we lost control of the game because of mistakes that shouldn't happen at this level. We've talked a lot about this kind of error and it's still happening."
"The game is under control; we have controlled Girona in half their pitch for an hour and we gave it in the last 30 minutes. That is a summary of this season. That's two Madrid games, two Girona games. We have to change a lot to compete," added Xavi.
"I think we will learn and next season we will compete better. We will continue to fight. Next season we have to improve things," he added.
