Barcelona coach Xavi admitted relief after their Champions League win against Porto.

 

 

Pepe had Porto ahead before Joao Cancelo and Joao Felix struck for the hosts.

Xavi said, “We are through to the last 16 and in plenty of phases in this match we played well.

“I’m delighted for the club and this was a really good win against a top, historic club. I thought we showed really good winner’s mentality in how we reacted to going 1-0 down.

“I thought it was perfect to equalise so quickly and the second half showed us at a good level.”

He also stated: “At half-time I told my players they had to be more daring, that they had to take the right risks in order to bring the ball out better. And, as for Iñaki Peña – he was extraordinary.

“João Félix needed that goal – it’ll be important for him. It’s also true that if we’d taken our big chances the result could have been even more convincing for us.”
