Grim times for Barca fans as their archrivals completed a hat trick of El Clasico wins. The third Real Madrid El Clasico victory included a hat trick from Vinicius Jr. Lewandowski got one back for Barcelona. Xavi was left apologising for the humiliation of that 4-1 defeat.

. “We can’t come into a final like this. We’ve been awful in defence and in the high pressing.You just can’t start a final losing 2-0. Then we got back a bit with Robert Lewandowski’s goal, but the penalty, which wasn’t a penalty in my opinion, took us down again. Then the second half has been really bad. On the defensive side of the game, we did not stop their runs. We did not make fouls. They live off that, that’s where the first two goals came from. We knew it and work to stop it in training, but it didn’t work out. Not just as a Barca manager, but as a Barca fan I am very sad. That’s all I can say. Apologies to our fans but we’ll bounce back.‘ ( Xavi’s gloomy post match summary)
