Quotes
"We dominated 60 minutes, but this is football," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after his side's clash with Madrid.
"We need five or six chances to score and they, with two or three, score two goals. It’s the difference.
“We lacked effectiveness. What we proposed went well, we were calm, patient… Maybe I’m exaggerating, but the feeling I have from the bench is that we deserved to win."
