Barcelona coach Xavi remains angry with last week's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano.

He is adamant that the Blaugrana should have won their opening-day duel against Rayo Vallecano.

Xavi blamed his players' lack of a clinical touch in front of goal for their 0-0 draw with Rayo on home soil in their 2022/23 LaLiga Santander opener.

"It is not easy," Xavi told the press conference ahead of the duel away at Real Sociedad.

"We have to have humility. The game against Rayo was a footballing disgrace. We deserved to win and we lacked effectiveness. We played a good game. I prefer euphoria to defeat."
