Xavi is excited to face Real Madrid in El Clasico
Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez has expressed his appreciation for El Clasico against Real Madrid, but this time by using a phrase somewhat strange to football.
Where he said that he likes to play against Real Madrid, because he might feel the sexual excitement from that confrontation, and also mentioned his desire to win to be at the top of the table.
What did Xavi say?
It seems that Xavi is very excited to participate again against Real Madrid, as he previously played against them twice as the coach, the first time he lost in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super 3-2, but he returned and won in the local league with a clean four.
On playing in the Clasico, Xavi said in the press conference: "I don't know if it makes me feel sexually excited, I don't know if it's the right word. But I love playing against Real Madrid."
He continued: "I am competitive, I would have liked to continue being a footballer to play this kind of game."
He continued, "It is amazing to play a match like this, the motivation is very high, it is an opportunity to emerge as leaders in the competition."
Barcelona is currently at the top of the La Liga standings with a goal difference only from Real Madrid, which is second behind the Blaugrana.
It is worth noting that Barcelona will face Real Madrid tomorrow in the ninth round of the Spanish League at the Santiago Bernabeu.
