It Is True That Barcelona Have Never Won At The Allianz Arena, But My Team Is In Good Form – Xavi

Barcelona manager, Xavi Hernandez has come out to say that his team will not see the Allianz Arena as the house of horror when they face Bayern Munich today. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he has beaten and lost to Bayern Munich all through his career as a player, so he believes anything is possible at any stadium in football.

Xavi added that it is true that Barcelona has never won at the Allianz Arena, but the current team is in very good form.

His words, “I wouldn’t say it’s a house of horror, it’s Bayern Munich,”

“I’ve experienced both sides of the coin, beating them and losing to them. I know [recent results have not been favourable], but football is cyclical.”

“It’s true we have never won here, which shows the difficulty of this week’s game. But we are in good form and we are excited for Tuesday.”

“Everything is different,”

“We have improved in many aspects and we feel capable of competing.”

“There have been so many changes but above all I would say the mentality. After that defeat, I told the players that this is Barca, that we have to run, work hard, and show personality. It was not the image of Barca that we wanted.”

“The mentality has now changed. We have more personality now. The signings have also had an affect and wins breed confidence.”
